Nun-Owned 3k-Km 1977 Fiat 126

Description

Offered Without Reserve

The Alfa Romeo GTV 2000 (Gran Turismo Veloce) stands as one of the finest expressions of Italian sports car design from the early 1970s. Penned by Giorgetto Giugiaro during his time at Bertone, the 105-series coupe body is widely considered a high-water mark in postwar European automotive styling — all long bonnet, fastback roofline, and purposeful stance.

This 1972 example, finished in factory Alfa Rosso over cognac leather, presents as an honest, well-maintained driver with an appealing combination of correct specification and sympathetic stewardship. The car spent the bulk of its life in the arid Southwest, where the dry climate has been kind to the floors, sills, and inner structure — the areas that most commonly claim these cars.
