Barn find GTV - how do I value it?

[northo]

Unearthed a '68 1750 GTV in a garage in Edinburgh a couple of months ago. Not in the best of nick, but the interior is immaculate, and only 55,000 miles on the clock. It hasn't been run for years.

Any suggestions on value, or where I could get a valuation?

Are you looking to buy it or sell it? That will effect the "value" people will tell you.

A mate has asked me to see if I can "get rid of it" for him. I use that term, as soon as you say "sell" people tend to start looking at their shoes and puffing.....

Its living with me at the moment, so I'd like to see if I can get valuations from both perspectives - if I can move it on for somewhere between the two, I reckon the jobs a good 'un.

You lucky bd, if I was in your position I would make an agreement with him about taking it myself and restoring it!

I would have - if only I had the time and spare cash.

Do you know Mclennan's Garage in Loanhead? They're a very well-reagrded independent and they do a lot of classic Alfas so I imagine Stuart there would be able to give you a rough idea of value/what needs doing...

What about Labinjoh in Edinburgh?

[plasticpig]

Classic And Sports Car reckon £800 for a restoration project Not necessarily very accurate but it gives you an idea. It's probably worth more as bits.

[RicksAlfas]

Don't rush - that's one of the most desirable 105 models - and it looks unmolested.
Have a word with Classic Alfa, Alfaholics, Veloce Sport and see what they say.

[northo]

Thanks chaps - some good advice there.

Nowhere near. I've seen absolute stters fetch north of 3k.

- Agreed. The series 1 1750 is, IMO, the most desirable of all 105's, save the GTA's and Giulia TI Super - I absolutely adore it. As for what it's worth - wow, tough one. Depends a lot on history and such. I would reckon it should be possible to get around 5K for it, but you'll have to wait for the right buyer. All very much IMHO.

[robsco]

Wow, now there is a find. Beautiful.

[Killer2005]

That is gorgeous

I've made a comment to your Alfetta in the "Let's see your Alfa's thread" I would like you to check up on.

If it spent it's life in Edinburgh, it's most likely a Jack Fisher car - either purchased through, or serviced by - worth getting in touch with Eddie Labinjoh as previously suggested. He might be able to dig out some history.

Contact the Alfa Romeo Owners Club (www.aroc-uk.com) who will pass your message ot the 105 Registrar, I think he'll be happy to help
