I own a gtv 2.0l twin spark rosso proteo with only 110000 km on the clock. It's awesome and I payed almost nothing on it. I love it so much, I don't think I'll sell it ever.

@CraigMilesYoutube 7 месяцев назад

Yeah, I bought one in January 2008. Stopped driving it in 2013, but didn't sell it, stored it instead. Currently putting it back on the road 😁

Do well friend. I have a GTV 1.8 16v TS purchased in 1999, currently 144km. It is a car that has never given me problems, it has been to my mechanic 4/5 times in 24 years, only for oil and filter changes, a super reliable car as well as being one of the most BEAUTIFUL cars ever built by the old guys and legendary Alfa. Romeo. Hello from (Marche) Italy

I've been trying to convince myself to buy a 916 for the past two years or so but I am of an age (62) that the stories of Alfa unreliability from my youth still haunt me, so videos like this are really appreciated in helping to convince me to take the leap..👍

Great Video, I've owned my 1999 TS Spider for 7 year's. Its never let me down & its a great drive down a twisty country road, TS is plenty quick enough & you can rag it through the gears with worrying to much about the speed limit. Unlike my daily, a Alfa Guilia Veloce with 280HP.

Love this! Love the 156 GTA vid as well. You’re 100% correct in saying these cars are for driving! I have a Twinspark GTV as well and it’s such a brilliant car to drive. I use it as a daily and there’s no car like it on the road. For the £1750 I don’t I could have got a better car. Great vids anyway 😊👍🏻🇮🇹

@benfearnhead9851 9 месяцев назад

Recently picked up a phase 3 with the 2.0 JTS so it’s the ‘marmite’ revised front end which I personally think looks great and the engine people seem to frown upon. I didn’t have the budget for a V6 and needed something clean air zone friendly as I live and work within Birmingham which seems to rule out the phase 1&2 cars. The car is virtually immaculate and I had it inspected by a pro auto engineer before buying. Less than 70k on the clock and well under £4k paid. Very happy indeed. I’ve become a curtain twitcher as can’t stop looking at it parked outside the house. The engine is really strong, decent enough on fuel and even with the stock exhaust purrs and growls nicely. If you’re reading this thinking about picking one up, do your due diligence of course and then don’t hesitate!

@iamandisykes 9 месяцев назад

Sounds like an awesome purchase and glad you're happy with it☺️ I know what you mean about the curtain twitching, have you started to constantly look back at it after parking up yet? 😊 thats when you know you've got it bad 😂😂

@benfearnhead9851 9 месяцев назад

@@iamandisykes oh yes. It’s my third Alfa in a row. Had a 159ti, a Giulietta Sportiva and now this one so I’m used to walking backwards. Forgot to say in my previous comment - great video! Awesome to see Alfa 916 content on RU-vid when it pops up. Sadly very little phase 3 stuff but maybe in time or if I get my act in gear I could post something some time. Cheers

@iamandisykes 9 месяцев назад

@@benfearnhead9851 ah yeah when the Alfa bug bites it bites hard😂 I've also got a 156 GTA too which I've done a couple of videos on as well. Tempted by a Mito too, maybe build a GTA Mito concept replica? 🤔

@benfearnhead9851 9 месяцев назад

@@iamandisykes the MiTo is often snubbed as not a real Alfa but in the right spec it’s a great looking car. I saw a red Quadrifoglio version with a tan interior once and it really looked like a mini 8C. I considered them but figured now was the time to fulfil the GTV dream. I saw the 156 GTA wagon. Great thing indeed!

@iamandisykes 9 месяцев назад

Thanks mate😊 it still needs a few jobs and it's MOT is due soon but it's a really lovely car to drive. Am I correct in thinking that Mito is Panda based or is it a Punto? I think i one would make a great run about.

@waynestuart-cole53 7 месяцев назад

Nice review, I have owned 5 2.0 gtv's, 2 2.0 spiders and 2 V6's, they are just brilliant, I Think when my 156 rebuild is finished I'll see if someone wants to swap for a gtv.

@iamandisykes 7 месяцев назад

How would you compare the Twinspark to V6? I'm half considering selling my GTA for a V6 GTV 🤔

@waynestuart-cole53 7 месяцев назад

If you love tight, twisty, bumpy back roads you will not get past a well driven twinspark with a V6, it's not that simple though, I drove a friend's supercharged 147gta in the wet in Wales, it was hillarious, would I love it forever... I don't know. My 3.0 gtv's were epic, both had fruitier exhausts, amazing noise... My first twinspark had a Larini exhaust and an Alfatune chip, sounded fantastic and on the right roads could run with the big boys,,,,,, Your question is impossible to answer, you need to drive one... No wait, get a 2.0 & a 3.0 😇 regards Wayne

@iamandisykes 7 месяцев назад

@waynestuart-cole53 haha that would be the dream 🤣 I have a 156gta which I really like but I feel the TS GTV is more fun (I love a revvy engine) I was thinking combine the 2 cars I have with a GTV V6 which would then allow me room for another project 😅 anyway thanks for replying 🙌🙌 also interested in that chip you had. Is that something that’s still available?

@waynestuart-cole53 7 месяцев назад

Andy, Alfatune is no longer. The owner Gus has retired to Greece, possibly Squadra or Autodelta can do them. Mine only added about 10bhp but it have better responds and a little bit at the top. I have run all my twinsparks without the balance belt, I find that gives better throttle response.

I have a 2001 TS Spider, which is just perfect for the climate here in Australia (except when it gets too hot to put the roof down). The Twin Spark is a belting little engine, it just begs you to wind it up. I put on a custom exhaust too, sounds very similar to the one yours has, and listening to it with the top down as I bomb along deserted forest roads is just one of life's great pleasures. I'm considering selling it for a 147 GTA, but I suspect I'll regret it
