What it's like to own a 1968 Alfa Romeo 1750 GTV | Throdle

Описание: Today Nadine checks out a beautiful classic car - a 1968 Alfa Romeo 1750 GTV which they drive along some nice British country roads.

What's up Throdle! Join Nadine in the UK as she meets with Throdle App Member Shan to go over the mods he's done to his 1968 Alfa Romeo 1750 GTV. Shan mostly kept it stock except for the yellow headlamps, which pay homage to the rally cars of this era. Continuing with racer inspired modifications he installed new wheels with wider tires. He also made some modifications to his engine, which include better carburetors and a straight pipe exhaust.

On the inside, he's kept it all original as the beautiful wood Italian Hellebore steering wheel and interior makes the car even more pretty.

This 1750 GTV is not only special as it is a right hand drive car but also because of how it was manufactured. This specific car was built in the Italy factory, while most of the 1750 GTVs were shipped to South Africa in crates and built there as it was cheaper. This means that the Italian built GTVs are rarer and arguably better quality making them more desirable.

Moving on to the name of this Alfa Romeo, its name suggests it is a GT but adds the V, which stands for Veloce. This word obviously coming originating from Italy stands for velocity. The name is supposed to show the nature of these older sporty GT hatchbacks.

The design of this car is inspired from the Giulia Sprint, which is an older and more desirable Alfa Romeo. It has many similar design cues as they were both designed by Bertone, which was the same team that designed the well known Lamborghini Miura and many more.

This being an 50+ year old Alfa Romeo it has its quirks, which gives it some character. Shan tells us that the fuel gauge and other parts don't function properly as this is an older handbuilt car.

Tomorrow we'll be dropping an Exclusive Bonus App Clip of this Alfa Romeo onto the Throdle App - so download it if you're interested in seeing more of this beautiful car.
