Alfa Romeo GTV 2000 1972 (typo 105.21),
Verde Oliva Metallizzato
The Alfa Romeo 2000 GT Veloce (also known as 2000 GTV) was introduced in 1971 together with the 2000 Berlina sedan and 2000 Spider. The 2000 range was the replacement for the 1750 range. Once again the engine was rationalised throughout the range. The engine displacement was increased to 1962 cc with a change of the bore and stroke to 84 mm × 88.5 mm. Oil and radiator capacities remained unchanged. The engine produced 132 PS (97 kW; 130 hp) at 5500 rpm. The 2000 GTV is most easily distinguished by its different grille. From 1974 on, this became standard on the GT 1300 Junior and GT 1600 Junior as well. The interior trim was also changed, with the most notable differences being the introduction of a separate instrument cluster, instead of the gauges installed in the dash panel in earlier cars. Externally the 2000 GTV is most easily distinguished by the following features:
Grille with horizontal chrome bars, featuring protruding blocks forming the familiar Alfa heart in outline.
Smaller hubcaps with exposed wheel nuts.
Optional aluminium alloy wheels of the same size as the standard 5. 1/2J × 14 steel items, styled to the "turbina" design first seen on the alloy wheels of the Alfa Romeo Montreal. "Turbina" refers to the wheel's resemblance to a jet engine inlet.
From 1974 on, the 105 Series coupé models were rationalised and these external features became common to post-1974 GT 1300 Junior and GT 1600 Junior models, with only few distinguishing features marking the difference between models. The last GTV model year was 1974 for the USA.
According to the Centro Documentazione Alfa Romeo, our car, chassis AR 2437899, was produced on January 23th, 1973 and delivered on the 24th of the same month to the French market in Reims. We found the car complete and in good body condition, and after sandblasting we keep all the original N.O.S body parts, all wings, doors, front bonnet, rear boot lid.
The body received its original "Oliva Verde Metallizzato » concours painting, and looks stunning in this rare color. With its original "Cinghiale Maremma" internal trim, its combo a-of colour is absolutely shinning… We keep and restore all original chrome parts and its original dashboard and Jaeger instruments. The car is still equipped with its original AR 00512*S9041 engine block. Come with the car, a complete file of the restoration with more than 500 pictures and invoices, and of course FCA storico Certificate di Origin.
