A £100 Alfa Romeo GTV Bargain Or Rust Bucket 

Some cars just deserve to be saved ,and sometimes it's worth maybe going over slightly on what people think is worth putting into them ,it's a future classic for sure

id still lose money by saving it.

@@ItaliaAutos in 10 years time that will be as rare as rocking horse shit when 30 yrs old and worth 20-25 k easily.You will look back and think a grand to 1500 spent in 2020 was well worth it.But perhaps you have a stash of fords you are not telling us about and use the italia autos as a smoke screen which would then tell me you are not really a great car enthusiast.Do the car you will get alot of respect and even maybe a buyer.Sometimes its for the love we do it not always about the dollar cos you know being in the card trade its swings and roundabouts of you win some you lose some and you break even on some.

Worth more in parts so it gets broken

@@ItaliaAutos So you bid on shit just on the off-chance a drunken mouse click gets you something half decent? Making money shouldn't be the primary objective, if you want to attract people to the channel. Fixing up something like this, over the course of a few videos, for as little outlay as possible is the epitome of: 'Alfa Romeo repair and parts specialist offering an interesting look into the repair work I do plus handy repair guides".

I agree, I want to see it restored and would watch a series on it. Look at how much cars are worth now, which 10 or 15 years ago were scrapped! Future classic for sure

Every time I see an Alfa I just imagine Clarkson talking about its human qualities and soul, so for that non-scientific reason Alfas seem to make me happy :)

I have owned a 33, a 146 and a 156, a long time ago. Never had real big issues. I enjoyed driving all three of them a lot. They all had more character, then my later cars. Selling the 156 broke my heart.

@shaun king crush the Italian and transform it into British rust?

shaun king So a ferrari is a shit car because it isn’t reliable?

@shaun king No, you're about as boring as the stereotypical geometry teacher. Kindly get out of here with your anti-Romeoism.

Why? It's just another car. They are all the same.

@ The characters between certain cars across different brands are entirely different. Trying to compare an Alfa-Romeo to, say, a Mercedes is like comparing chalk and cheese. Entirely different properties. Entirely different personalities. End of.

@ no they're not. If you have nothing useful to say be quiet. Go and watch videos on ford's and Vauxhalls from your council house.

@ Well, old alfas aren't like other cars. They are valuable collectors items. That is, if you can find one in a good condition.

@ They may perform the same basic function, but the engineering, passion, and purpose between each marque, model, and sometimes individual car widely differs. A 1930s Packard drives very differently than an Austin Seven of the same time period for instance. You're also forgetting the personal aspect of cars. As they age and their meaning changes over time, they become objects of deep meaning to their owners. It becomes a part of who they are and this is something that is not often replicated in other physical items. It's a big part of the reason why the United States, with its rich automaking history, has a vibrant car culture across many spectrums to this day. In sum, cars are more than the sum of their parts in many cases. They have become perfect reflections of who we were, are, and can be more so than any other good a person can reasonably obtain. My 1962 Studebaker GT Hawk is a testament to this.

That says more about your previous cars then the 156 😉 Just kidding, I recently bought a 147 2.0 Sele for only €250 and I freaking love that car 🤩

@@duncandonovan5270 just be careful, this engine is somewhat fragile if not serviced properly.. crankshaft bearings, or big ends or smth... find a good entudiastic mechanic for it so it will live long and prosperous

hell, no

I thought so too. Maybe in a couple of years.

The FWD makes it not good in any way. Just a nice shell.

@@niconesta8566 they were very competent handlers

Love the rims love the chairs. Clean it up do the repairs and its a great car.

Yeah they where and are special cars.

they are brilliant cars just not this one.

@@ItaliaAutos shame.. but perhaps good as means one less of these rare cars on the road so making them more collectible 'classicss' in 5/10 years time. my yr 2000 model had only about 2000 ever made that year.. Every time I have come across someone else driving one we always acknowlege each other!!.. any owner of one of these simply 'gets it'. mine has many minor probs.. but .. oooohhhh..ooohhhh... the joy of getting into it and giving it a thrash around corners!!! I still cannot help smiling every time I get into my babe.. lol

What was it Clarkson said? ''Alfa Romeos are designed to be the best a car can be - briefly.''

yeah far to much to make any money on it.

if my videos got hundreds of thousands of view i would but i need to still earn a living doing what i do. :-)

It would be a shame but can't save them all. Got another one being saved in a future episode.

@@ItaliaAutos Just put it into a barn and forget about it for 20 years !

Where are you from?

Try and buy any of this. He'll just wanna sell you brand new stock at his price's...

Great find for under £300. I cant lie im jealous af lol

There not that bad. Considering you may only change it once or twice in its lifetime 🤔

@@ItaliaAutos I had a golf mk4 at the time it was easy to maintain in comparison! Always loved the GTV looks though.

add body work, service, cambelt and other items. its more than its worth.

yeah car has had some love but just to much to do to make any profit.

Haha. Nice you found the video.

@shaun king bollocks are you calling me a liar?

@shaun king so you are callling me a liar. Mine has a top speed of 240kms. It's as well i can't meet you because you would be in your coffin. HOW DARE YOU CALL ME THAT.

@shaun king xaxa!

Prob run dry just before in exploded lol.

I was surprised

You seem to be the first guy on here who thinks logically. Yes technicaly it's saveable but is worth way more in parts

yeah its a good parts car.

They sure do.

Me too. I hate black and dark grey interiors. Gloomy and depressing!

Send me an email got 2 sets in stock.

Seats fit the mini perfectly

yep it is.

This one is well and truly scrapped now. But I've saved loads more.

always fun but nice to make a profit.

I've not been to any this year.

@@ItaliaAutos man youre a spitting image of a guy I spoke to, you dont have a mate working for Codemasters?

@@Galahadfairlight yes i do. lol retro game event i was thinking cars lol i remember now haha

Rust is a small price to pay for an Alfaholic.

Its dead and buried now.

@@ItaliaAutos How deep? :-)

Yep just need to test it to see what works. Email me

Italia Autos np, would you mind giving me your mail?

@@thehardgames13 italiaautoparts@sky.com

Its for sale if you want to buy it.

Italia Autos Great! Is it working and what is your price?

air intake leaks.

sold it sorry.
