Hello,

Looking for a GTV 2000, but would settle for a 1750. Must be in excellent running condition, but need not be pristine. The car is for my father - he owned one before he had kids and I'm looking to find one for him for his 57th birthday. Looking to spend between $20 000 and $25 000.

The car MUST be in Canada (I don't want to deal with importing it), and ideally would be located within a couple hours drive of Toronto.

Thanks,

-James

FWIW, many consider the 1750 to be the better choice. Good luck on your search and welcome to the AlfaBB!

Thanks for the tip - I'm hardly an expert on these cars - more of a vintage Porsche/BMW man. My father owned a 2000, and my goal is a car as close as possible to the one he had, that' the only reason I'd prefer it. If the 1750's a better car though, that's something I'll definitely consider - why do people prefer them?

James,
Speak to Ocean Drive Motors. 416-742-7197. They have a nice one in their showroom. North York area. Good luck

The 1750 is much more "free revving" and almost equally as powerful as the 2000.

BTW, I used to be a BMW (three 2002tii, E30M3, etc) Porsche (914, 911SC) guy too... till I discovered Alfas .

Very that you are doing this for your Dad. Good luck!

1750 GTV in Toronto

Hi JJJames,

I will be putting my 1750 up for sale shortly. Located in Toronto.
Lovely 1750 engine, complete, but some cosmetic flaws.

Please let me know if you are interested in seeing it.

This is too weird

James

Great looking car. I recognised the factory area where you took those pictures. Strange thing is that I keep my 1750 in my garage about 100 feet away. Is that weird or what?

Ha! That IS weird.
Although that factory area is no longer quite so recognisable. Sad
I always liked that little area.

I wonder where that area is. As I do not recognize it.

It's in Toronto, where Sterling Road meets Perth Avenue. Recently those buildings were demolished. More condos on the way I suspect.

Thanks, I've only driven those streets once and actually just a month ago after dark.
