Basic Information and History

The Alfa Romeo GTV, internally known as Tipo 916, was presented in 1995 and marked Alfa Romeo's return to the coupé segment with a design that left few unmoved. The wedge-shaped body with its rising waistline, the asymmetrical front end and the full-width taillight are among the most characterful pieces of Italian design from the nineties. Underneath the sheet metal was front-wheel drive and a multi-link rear axle that gave the car sharp and communicative road manners, and the drivetrains were built around Alfa's well-known engines with either chain-driven or belt-driven valve arrangements depending on specification.

This example is a 1997 model year, meaning it comes from the first generation's production before the later facelifts. The car has been imported from Italy and has had a total of three owners. The odometer reads 170,000 kilometres and can, according to the seller, be guaranteed. The vehicle is stated to be in original condition.

The most recent inspection is stated as June 2026, and the car passed. It can be driven as it stands.

Equipment and Options

• Climate control that cools
• Functioning audio and media system
• Working trip meter
• Original condition with no modifications to drivetrain or bodywork

The car has not been rebuilt but is kept in its original condition. The work carried out has been limited to maintenance and servicing, where the seller during 2025 replaced the timing belt, engine oil and spark plugs, as well as changing the gearbox oil. A wheel alignment was also carried out during the same year. The only deviation from original is a few drilled holes in the instrument panel from a previous phone mount.

Condition

Body and paint: The paint shows various scratches and the body has some minor dents, as shown in the photo material. The windows are, according to the seller, in good condition.

Interior: The seat upholstery has damage and the headliner has come slightly loose at the front edge towards the windscreen. The instrument panel has a few drilled holes from a previous phone mount. The rest of the interior follows the car's original specification.

Tyres and rims: The rims have some paint flaking on the inner sides. The tyres are described as usable but not new.

Mechanics and function: The engine and gearbox are described as being in good condition and said to work excellently. The engine starts and runs without issue, the clutch works and the gearbox shifts flawlessly. The brakes are stated to be in good condition. All electronics, seat belts and exterior lighting function, and the instrument panel is free of warning lights.

Service History

The seller states that the car is fully serviced. However, there is no complete service booklet or receipt binder documenting the full history. The most recent work was carried out by the seller himself during 2025 and includes timing belt, engine oil, spark plugs and gearbox oil change. Receipts for the parts used are available for this work. A wheel alignment was also carried out during 2025.

Summary

An Alfa Romeo GTV of 1997 model year in original condition, imported from Italy and with three owners in its history. The odometer reads 17,000 kilometres and can be guaranteed. The drivetrain has recently received thorough maintenance in the form of a timing belt, spark plugs and oil changes in both the engine and gearbox, and the car has passed inspection.

The seller describes it as a car that is fun to drive but needs some cosmetic work to become fully perfect. With remarks regarding paint, bodywork, upholstery and headliner, there is clear scope here for anyone wanting to bring a 916 to top condition, while the mechanical side has been well looked after and the car can be driven as it stands.
