The Alfa Romeo Alfetta translated literally as little Alfa Romeo began in saloon form when the Berlina launched in 1972. The platform was adapted for the introduction of the Alfetta GT in 1974, which took a two-door, four-seat, fastback coup shape. Initial styling was overseen by Giorgetto Giugiaro while working for Italdesign, prompting the Alfetta to cut an attractive shape that has aged with great refinement. Selected exterior design details are shared with the fabled Alfa Romeo Montreal, such as its bonnet line and door shape, thanks to its coinciding production run. The GTV is perhaps the connoisseurs choice of the Alfetta model range, receiving a 2.0-litre engine that improves on the 1.6-litre unit found in the GT.

The Alfetta GTV offered here was delivered new to Porcia, in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region of Italy. The Alfa Romeo was finished by the factory with an exterior shade of Biancospino, which it retains to this day, complemented by a Velluto Verde (green velvet) interior. The Alfetta now wears a beige cloth interior. The car has been retained by The Curated Collection since 2015, and is offered with a copy of its production register record issued by Museo Storico Alfa Romeo, which confirms that this stylish coup retains its matching-numbers chassis and engine.
