Why Do These Have To Be So Expensive?

I flipping love these things. They’re all over BaT, but they’re always perfectly restored and $35k. Which is great and all but damn. A GTV or a well sorted BMW 2002 could delay my 911 search.

I’ve never actually been in the drivers seat of a GTV, but I bet I would not be disappointed .

The real answer is the ‘86 GTV-6 in Anthracite with Campagnolo wheels

Kinja'd!!!

Not my cup of tea visually, but I see your point.

People like them because they’re pretty.

They’re actually pretty peppy too. Dude in a really rough one managed to hunt down a 4C at the Alfa club track day. Mind you I think the 4C owner wasn’t giving it his all but... still impressive.

I got to sit co-pilot in one for a ride around the block at a local concours. I’d even take one on at the “project” level, but I don’t yet have a garage. Project or full restoration, I’d want to garage a car from the 60's.

I think you need to find one not on BaT. They are really pretty.

Lancia Fulvias are a little cheaper, for now.

I almost bought an 80's GTV once. As cool as it would’ve been, my 18 year old self wisely decided I wasn’t ready for Italian car ownership yet. The ergonomics are pretty funky in old Italian cars , but they are great to drive.
