Here we have what I think is a rather special GTV6, in a condition and with history you rarely find. Her third owner bought her in 1989 and cherished her for the next 34 years.  She has a documented service history right back to her PDI check stamps and running in service at 868 miles from supplying Alfa main agent Huntsworth Garages Ltd in London.

The underside was truly amazing, largely on the original factory finishes. The only welding required has been to the usual inner wing tops and a tiny front inner sill repair, otherwise she is totally original underneath and rust free with it. The only areas with some black wax sealer applied were those known to more vulnerable to rust, so some of the panel seams & inner sill edges. Remarkably the usually rotten and or underseal covered hidden corners around the battery tray and spare wheel were not only rust free showing all the factory spot welds, but still wearing the original factory primer coating and nothing more.

Originally bought to use as his daily driver, but always garage kept, this was a task that she only carried out until 1993 at which point with a growing family a more spacious daily was required. However, a bond had been formed with his GTV6 and it was decided to keep her to use as ‘high days & holidays’ car to enjoy when the chance for a more spirited drive was possible. This she continued to do until 2007, covering sometimes just a couple of hundred other times a couple of thousand miles a year.

During this time she was maintained regardless of cost, as evidenced in the comprehensive history file containing every invoice since 1992 and the original ‘Alfa Cover’ book pack and associated manuals, also containing the all important service coupon booklet stamped by Alfa main dealers from the aforementioned PDI check up to her last main dealer service in 1993 at 68k miles, following which all work was carried out by independent specialists.

Some major works of note carried out over the years, all invoices on file, include:

1. In 1993 the inner wings were rebuilt and a complete repaint carried out, at which point the owner decided to body colour the plastic trim. This is the same paint she wears to this day and is in excellent condition, testament to the careful use and storage she has had since.
2. In 2001 at 74564 miles a complete engine rebuild was carried out by Alfa specialist Benalfa Cars. This comprised new pistons & liners & rebuilt cylinder heads with new valve guides.
3. New Bilstein shock absorbers.
4. New brake discs front & rear.

Just 5000 miles have been covered since this work was carried out, so the engine is barely run in.

By 2007, with the pressure of work and running growing kids around she was taken off the road with the plan that when he retired he would bring her back out to enjoy again with more time to do so. She was even treated to a ‘laying up service’ with new fluids, filter and plugs. However, the discovery of a new hobby and the huge increase in traffic volume where he lives have taken the joy away from driving so in 2023 she was sent to our sister company Alex Jupe Motorsport for a major going over to give her a fresh lease of life for a very lucky new owner. This work totaled over £12700.00 and included:

1. New water pump.
2. New cam belt.
3. Pressure tested & repainted radiator.
4. New radiator fan switch.
5. GTV6 radiator hose kit.
6. AJM silicone breather hose kit.
7. New spark plugs, air filter, oil & filter.
8. Fresh coolant.
9. Extensive engine bay detailing, including repainted cam covers with new gaskets and plug well seals.
10. Strip, blast, repaint of thermostat housing & refit with new bypass hoses.
11. New fuel pump, filter & hoses to current SAEJ30 spec for modern fuels.
12. AJM Fast Road handling kit, polyurethane Watts linkage, rear anti-roll bar link & caster arm bushes with full laser geometry set up.
13. New brake master cylinder.
14. New clutch master & slave cylinders and a new braided stainless steel clutch hose.
15. New Ronal A1 replica alloy wheels with new Falken tyres.

As you can imagine following this work and with such a unique history she sold within 1 week of me advertising her to her current owner back in 2023, who recognised what a special car this is and how difficult it is to find one that hasn’t been covered in underseal and welded up. He wanted to make her the best he could to which end, before taking delivery, Alex Jupe Motorsport were tasked with some extensive refreshing and rust proofing. To that end the following was carried out at a cost of  over £9500:

1. Removal of all plastic body kit parts.
2. Prepare and ‘de-texture’ to give a smooth finish to match the bodywork.
3. Repaint plastic components in colour matched AR530.
4. Remove exhaust system and carry out extensive masking to underside.
5. Mask off complete exterior and suspension components as required.
6. Degrease underside and prepare as required.
7. Treat any surface corrosion and prime with Bonda Anti-rust primer.
8. Spray underside in stone guard paint, followed by colour matched 2k AR530.
9. Inject all internal cavities, sills, arches etc with Dinitrol ML & 1000 cavity wax.
10. Spray underside in Dinitrol clear underbody anti-rust wax.

He has subsequently used and enjoyed her on sunny days and to go to various Alfa club events covering a couple of thousand miles or so. During this time she has been returned to Alex Jupe Motorsport to have new gearbox mounts fitted and the set of custom made NTM wheels in 2025, fitted with new Michelin PS3 tyres.

Consequently this must represent one of the very best GTV6’s in the UK and surely the finest currently on the market and is in ‘ready to go’ order.

She will be supplied with 12 months MOT and a minor service completed for the very lucky new owner.
