We first saw a modern Alfa Romeo GTV in 2006, which was right at the conclusion of a period of daring designs from many of the European brands. Citroen was offering the wild C6 sedan, Fiat had offered the Barchetta and Multipla, and the Smart Roadsters were common on European streets.

In the mid-2000s, designers got around to taming these more radical designs, slicing creases into the smooth bodywork to bring them up to date. The GTV became the Brera, and though that car has a number of satisfying details, we have to award the GTV the prize for chutzpah. A favorite detail of ours is the fact that when the hood is lifted, the headlamps are revealed to be contained within a single housing that the hood had previously separated. The Kamm tail with a 164-style light strip and the sharp body line from front to rear are equally strong styling statements.

Whereas the trope of unreliable Alfa Romeos might have some merit among the classics due to the fact that cars in general were not as durable in the 1960s, we are under the impression that these early Fiat-ownership Alfas did tarnish the brand's reputation for reliability. On this particular example no issues are reported. When issues do arise, parts availability from European vendors should be pretty comprehensive, though do not expect Alfa Romeo OEM parts. In particular, the window regulators are known to fail, and we happen to sell the repair pins here. The part is also used in the Maserati Coupe / Spyder, which is where we encountered the issue.

We like a good styling statement like an Alfa GTV. Handsome inside and out, the GTV would be just as enjoyable to view in the garage as it would be to drive. These probably won't ever climb in value, and we see that as an advantage for those on the hunt for a unique and uncommon weekend coupe.
