Alfa Romeo 2000 GTV 1974

The Giulia 105 series coupe was first shown to the motoring press on the 9th September 1963 at the new Arese works in Milan and was mechanically based on the TI saloon (Berlina).  Known as the Sprint GT later versions were introduced that included the GT Veloce and 1750 GTV.  June 1971 saw the replacement of the 1750 GTV with the 2000 GTV, the new model being presented at Gardone.  A larger displacement engine of 1962cc in the new 2000 GTV saw power increase over its predecessor that now gave 132bhp and a top speed of more than 120mph. The greater low speed torque and larger flexibility at higher revs is a feature of this 2 litre capacity engine.  Externally a new horizontal front grill incorporated the Alfa shield and the rear wing line was revised giving a slightly sleeker look, green cloverleaf badges adorned the rear pillars and the rear light clusters were enlarged.  The interior trim was revised with velour cloth material for the seats and the instruments were grouped into one cluster to enable easier and quicker scanning of the instruments.  Production ceased in 1976.
