This covers the Giulia, 1750 and 2000 Bertone Coupes.
There are separate pages for the Giulia
berlina, 1750 & 2000 berlinas, GT Junior Zagato, TZ and Spider.
In 1965 the coupé lost its roof with the
introduction of the Giulia GTC Cabriolet, a Sprint GT coupe fitted with
a soft-top, designed and built by Touring. Unfortunately only about 1000
of these very attractive cars were built.
In the same year the Giulia GTA was released,
this was a Sprint GT with a light alloy bodyshell and an engine with two
spark plugs per cylinder, a higher compression ratio and twin 45DCOE carburettors
generating 115bhp in standard trim and up to 170bhp in competition. A total
of 500 GTAs were built for motorsport and scored numerous successes in
1966, 67 and 68 including the European Touring Car Championship in all
three years.. A smaller number (10!) were supercharged for use in Group
5 racing in the
The Giulia GTV (Veloce) was introduced
in 1966 which coupled the Sprint GT with a 109bhp engine and various other
small changes. Another new addition was the GT 1300 Junior which fitted
an 89bhp 1300 with twin carburettors and a five speed gearbox into the
Sprint GT bodyshell. A lightened version of this appeared in 1968 as the
1300 GTA which incorporated most of the earlier GTA modifications. The
engine still displaced 1290cc but with a different bore and stroke, two
spark plugs per cylinder, and in competition trim produced some 160bhp,
or 165bhp with fuel injection. In total 447 examples of this car were produced.
The Giulia was replaced by the 1750 Berlina
in 1968 and at the same time the new, enlarged engine was fitted to the
coupe resulting in the 1750 GTV. As well as the new 1779cc engine with
118bhp, the 1750 GTV also gained two extra headlights, an extra 30mm length
in the wheelbase and a raft of smaller modifications. The 1750 was also
destined for motorsport, but since the rules allowed Similarly, in 1971 when the new 2000 Berlina
was introduced the new engine (now 1962cc with 132bhp) was again fitted
to the coupe, making the 2000 GTV which was produced alongside the 1300
and 1750 cars. Minor changes were made both externally and to the internal
trim. Some of the 2000 GTV cars were also fitted with a limited slip differential.
The GTAm's were also renamed 2000 GTAm to relate to the new model.
The main production models were produced in the following volumes:
June
1962 saw the introduction of the new 105 series, but it was not until 1963
that the Giulia Sprint GT was introduced. This was an all new two door
coupé designed by Bertone, with similar lines to the bigger 2600 Sprint
and based on the mechanicals of the TI berlina but with 106bhp. This replaced
the 1600 Sprint in production.
UK, Belgium and France in 1967 and 1968. Producing around 220bhp these were
known as the GTA-SA (sovralimentato). Interestingly, this engine
used twin compressors driven by high pressure oil from an engine mounted oil pump !
for
up to 2000cc the engines were bored out to 1985cc and fitted with fuel
injection. These cars were known as the 1750 GTAm (m=maggiorata or enlarged).
Only 40 of these were produced during 1970 and 71, enough to score a significant
number of victories, including the European Touring Car Championship in
1970. For the US market the 1750 GTV was fitted with a SPICA fuel injection system.

Your Comments
The 1750 GT Veloce is one
of the greatest cars I've ever driven. Photo's really don't do this
car justice, you have to walk around one and sit in the drivers seat before
you really appreciate this Bertone masterpiece. And driving one is pure
enjoyment. Like all alfa's, the engine is eager and responsive and sings
like a true thoroughbred. The twin weber double overhead cam inline
4 is a true champion. The gearbox, handling and brakes are brilliant. I
really can't fault this car, if you enjoy driving, you'll love a 1750,
a true classic in every sense. Alfa...awesome!! (Gianni, Australia)
As the owner of a 64 coupe, I can testify from the attention it receives, truly the most beautiful of the Alfa coupes. (Dino, USA)
Believe it or not my day car is a 1750 gtv from 1969... I've got 25 years old and I will keep my gtv forever.
Better than new cars for sure. (Pedro M, Portugal)
The Alfa 1750 GTV is an authentic market masterpiece. A big taste of Italian thoroughbreed feel with early 90's GTI practicality, designed 40 years ago ! And the
Bertone shape will last forever... as well as the interior configuration and driving position. This car should be a case study for designers, engineers & CEO's ... I invite any
car lover to feel at least once in life a good/suave-smooth/hard & blast out drive with this jewel in any type of road and pls. don't forget the luggage, it might take some time to come back... (Santos, Spain)
