Expert Auto Appraisals inspected this 1974 Alfa Romeo GTV 2000. I performed this inspection at the 2022 Bonhams auction in Monterey. My inspection found this a very good original example of the Alfa Romeo GTV 2000, finished in Navy Blue with a Natural vinyl interior. The mileage indicated, 26,016, is believed to be original. The paint on the car was largely original, with some flaws. This car has its original 2.0L four-cylinder motor and a 5-speed manual transmission. Additionally, this car has 14 x 6 Cromodora wheels, a limited-slip differential, three-point front seat belts, and air conditioning. Bonhams cataloged the car with an auction estimate of $75,000 to $100,000. Bonhams sold the car for $112,000 with the buyer’s premium.ย
1974 Alfa Romeo GTV 2000
The GTV 2000 was an exciting car of the time, with an elegant Bertone design and an engaging driving experience. Alfa Romeo produced 37,459 of this model through the years 1971 to 1976. As mentioned, the car had a 2.0-liter inline-four cylinder engine, making 131 bhp with a top speed of 120 mph. Additionally, it only weighed 2,425 pounds, giving the car a light and nimble feel. The U.S. and Canadian market cars were fitted with mechanical port fuel injection by SPICA, while the rest of the world had twin carburetors. These cars also had solid disc brakes on all four wheels.
Monterey Auction Inspection Services – Bonhams
Typical points examined on an Alfa Romeo auction inspection are chassis and body quality, driveline originality, and mechanical performance. I can also arrange an evaluation drive to check the vehicle’s road performance if available. This type of service proves to be invaluable for our clients. As always, I collect the information necessary for many buying or bidding decisions. In addition to the report, over 100 images covering all aspects of the vehicle were provided.
Expert Auto Appraisals inspects all Alfa Romeo cars and all other marques throughout the United States and Canada. I attend the auctions in Scottsdale, Monterey, and Amelia Island every year. Because of this, I provide inspection services at most auctions. I am at most RM Sotheby’s, Gooding & Co., Broad Arrow, and Bonhams events. I also regularly attend Mecum, Barrett-Jackson, and GAA auctions. If you are considering the purchase of a special-interest car, contact us to perform an auction inspection of the vehicle for you.
