QuoteIt's hard to imagine a more well-rounded, charming, and engaging car than an Alfa Romeo GTV. It looks incredible, a just-right combination of curves and creases and glass that never fails to make me ache in that way when I see one. It's got engaging performance, a good sound, just enough weirdness in the interior to be interesting even to non-gearheads, and it's aged beautifully. This is, in many ways, exactly what a classic car should be.

Nice writeup. I feel special every time i get into my 1750 GTV. Something about the smell, instrumentation, seats, gauges. I think its love.... haha. I was driving mine everyday without fault for 8 or so months (and LOVING every second if it). He really hits the nail on the head with the styling. On that point, am I the only person out there that isn't infatuated with the E Type?

On a side note, I think the GTV knows im having an affair with her sister (my newly acquired giulia super). I drove it today for the first time in a week and the indicators were having a tantrum!!!

Anyone else daily drive a 105?
