“This car really puts a smile on your face… and surely that’s what it’s all about?”
Iain takes an Alfa Romeo GTV 2000 for a spin, and is captivated. Me too.
It’s fifteen minutes out of your day having some fun; how bad can that be?

Yes, I had a friend in the 70’s that raced them in SCCA races very successfully. They were always very fast and always at the front of the field at the start of every race.
He had three identical race cars that he would bring each weekend. Why 3? well, so he always had 1 for the final race of the weekend.
Race cars always break. Even modern $10-million F1 cars are unreliable, relatively speaking.
Italian cars are notoriously unreliable. And those older one (pre-2000 roughly) were so bad many people preferred Ladas and Dacias for reliability even back then (and they’re worse now, because of the massive amounts of rust)…
Lovely car – buddy of mine found one in Biloxi while we were there for USAF tech school. Drove it back to base on idle, replaced a broken sensor the local mechanics hadn’t figured out and ran it all over the Gulf Coast. So much fun to drive, reasonably reliable, and such great sounds. I’d be looking for one if I had a lottery check in my pocket.
