Alfa Romeo is one of those legendary brands that still build real cars. Thanks to Marten's efforts, we can still enjoy this one Alfa Romeo 1750 GTV with its superior car technology on the Dutch roads. Often we have to settle for less in life, but Marten didn't if Alfarider. He grew up with Alfa's because of his work at a Alfadealer and now he drives this beautiful car as a hobby car. Previously he already drove two Alfasuds and now he can do one too Alfa 147 youngtimer use as a daily car.
Strong bond with Alfa Romeo
Marten says: “The design evokes emotions in me, there is something sensual in this one Alfa Romeo 1750 GTV. My work history at the dealer gave me a strong bond with Alfa and I gradually became a fan at heart. I am devoted to my agile Alfa, which responds directly to my right foot. It is simply safe, comfortable and, above all, sporty driving. The 1779 cc power source delivers a maximum power of 118 hp.”
Protected heritage?
The purchase of the Alfa Romeo 1750 GTV took place in 1984. Marten is the sixth owner, of which two previous owners worked at a Alfadealer. According to history, the first owner was a dentist from De Bildt and the car was delivered by garage Centrum in Zeist. Restoring a classic car is not an easy task and frankly it also involves financial worries, but the reward is mouth watering! The total restoration, including the search for parts and sheet metal, took no less than 23 years, with of course large intervals. Only in 2007 was the Alfa Romeo 1750 GTV roadworthy and MOT-worthy again. This proves that protecting heritage secures the future, however long it takes. That way, we can enjoy sporty sports across generations Alfa Romeos from the 60s and 70s of the last century.

Gems in design

Italians are excellent manufacturers, just look at FIAT, Ferrari, Lancia – top products, simply gems when it comes to design. Thanks to Bertone's creative mind, Marten can still enjoy the delicious every day Alfafeeling, completely with his Alfa Romeo 1750 GTV.

Super nice car, nice color.👏👍
Belisimo! Remains 1 of the most beautiful! 🤩
Beautiful, it remains a beautiful car. As for the new ones, different strokes for different folks, but
luckily it has a sticker on it Alfa indicates. Tragically that the Alfa Has fallen into the bottomless pit of boring Stellantis SUVs. Oh well, shit happens.
How nicely done Marten, be careful with it but .... she is built to drive it!
Happy driving, I'm a little jealous 🙂
Wonderful
Once I was folded in half, (on the back seat, together with an Italian holiday lover from Amsterdam to Catanzaro, Calabria(!) in exactly the same Alfa 1750 driven, on the Autobahn, 4 people! ! + all luggage, up to speeds of up to 180 km/h. Hardly with stops along the way, but after arriving and getting out, stiff from the ride, fully declaring love for this unparalleled automobile. Then himself, impregnated by Italian car love for decades, and residing in Italy every year for a long time, 3 more ALFAOwned and cherished with love….Ahh…, Bertone, that was it….
Beautiful vehicle, but your introduction doesn't sound like much. Alfa still real cars? You call an obese SUV a car?
Just as they didn't only make exciting coupes in cool colors at the time, they don't just make the SUV now
