Ask ten Alfa Romeo enthusiasts which Bertone coupe they would choose, and chances are you’ll get ten different answers. One swears by the GT Junior, while another would choose the 2000 GTV without hesitation. But there’s always a group that’s firmly convinced the 1750 is the one. And actually, that’s not surprising at all.
The 1750 GTV debuted in the late 1960s as the bigger brother of the Giulia Sprint GT, offering exactly what many enthusiasts were looking for: a bit more power than the 1600, without losing the character of the original Bertone coupe. The result was a car that felt right at home on winding roads but was just as suitable for long drives. That has always been the strength of this Alfa Romeo.
Bertone’s design had become a familiar sight by then, but the 1750 certainly had its own distinctive features. The four headlights, subtle changes to the bodywork, and the characteristic 2.0-liter look that would later influence the 2000 GTV set it apart.
This particular example is from the second series of the 1750 GTV. In my personal opinion, the second series features one of the most beautiful dashboards Alfa Romeo has ever made. The instrument cluster, switches, and layout feel exactly as a classic Italian sports coupe should—simple yet incredibly atmospheric.
Under the hood lies the famous 1.8-liter Twin Cam engine, which has proven its worth and remains a key part of the 1750 GTV’s appeal. Paired with a five-speed manual transmission, it delivers the responsive, lively driving experience that made Alfa Romeo famous during this era.
This example is finished in Verde Oliva Metallizzato, paired with a cognac-colored leather interior. This color scheme highlights the lines of the Bertone bodywork and offers a distinctive look compared to more common versions. In our opinion, it’s one of the most beautiful color combinations for this model.
The Alfa has been restored and overhauled in the past and remains in well-cared-for and well-maintained condition today. The leather seats and carpets are fresh, giving the interior an attractive appearance. The body panels fit well, and the 1750 GTV makes a neat impression.
The 1750 GTV was on Alfa Romeo’s price lists for only a relatively short time before the 2000 GTV took over. This rarity and its unique place within the Bertone family make it especially beloved among connoisseurs.
