      1971 Alfa Romeo GTV 1750. 84,000 miles indicated, true mileage unknown. Current bid: US$10,000.

      bringatrailer.com/listing/1971

      This 1971 Alfa Romeo GTV 1750 is powered by a 1,779cc twin-cam inline-four that was upgraded with 40mm throttle bodies and reground A16 camshafts as part of a rebuild by Ingram Enterprises in 2002.

Finished in red, the car rides on 14″ steel wheels coupled with power-assisted disc brakes at all four corners. Shifting is through a five-speed manual transmission linked with a limited-slip differential, and further equipment includes a yellow fog-light lenses as well as a MOMO steering wheel and exhaust system.

          bringatrailer.com/listing/1972

          This Burnt Orange 1972 Saab Sonett III spent approximately three decades in California before being purchased by BaT President and Co-Founder Randy Nonnenberg, who had the car repainted, installed custom-fabricated Euro-style bumpers, and powder-coated the 15″ soccer ball wheels. It was then sold as a BaT Exclusive in May 2012 to Keith Martin, founder of Sports Car Market magazine, who discussed the car and his ownership on Episode 102 of the Bring a Trailer Podcast. The car was acquired by the current owner in 2025, and work that year involved installing a rebuilt four-speed manual transaxle as well as a replacement water pump, heater valve, clutch, hydraulic cylinders, and radiator hoses.

                                                • removes the weight limitations (unlike & which only allows to be discounted from it's 425kg/450kg-600kg max deadweight) and keeps things at a reasonable 15kW output [system output] which is almost precisely 1/3 of my car but with there's way more and thus , which is what makes a vehicle actually feel fast and zippy, so it should be on-par if not feel faster given that segments without speed limits are an exception and noone in their right mind expects a sub-€10k PLV to be cushy like an Audi A4.

                                                • Also for fuck sake give us a goddamn socket on the vehicle not just on €13k+ luxury scooters but on like everything because that's an standard and every actual should support that. If necessary make it a single-phase charging thing if that's the only way possible!

                                                        Hadn't intended to make this mess whilst emptying the extractor (good thing I put down the cardboard) but it is tall and more awkward to keep control of than I realised (it also cannot be tipped more than 90° or oil ends up in the wrong chamber and then has to be purged out of the tank)

                                                          Decided to go for 6 month change (recommended for - oil is worked hard in this engine; regularly goes over 100° C, car had previously been driven short distances around by lads at dealer before it was sold to me)

                                                          Got up early to visit and to collect oil, filter, vacuum oil extractor, 32mm socket for both from and used tools 3/8" ratchet I'd recently got for wheel bearing job.

                                                          Was quite easy to extract oil through dipstick tube (5,7 litres of it!)

                                                          Old filter was from Crosland (Euro Car Parts own brand), goodness knows where oil was from! Date code Dec 2024, so at least car *had* been serviced that year..

                                                          Replaced with filter and Edge LL oil (made to VW standard)

                                                          Testing the oil extractor with 5,7 litres of water to see how much space it takes up in the container

                                                            Discovered its better to leave coilpack bolts slightly loose when reconnecting their plugs due to tight harness.

                                                            Might be placebo, but car feels like it runs better after replacing

                                                            Decided to take a few engine bay of the with after washing my hands, so got a few bonus shots of high pressure pump and MPI (multi point ) extra fuel rail (there are port injectors below it which should hopefully reduce carbon buildup) - USA variants of this don't get this and its been deleted from later engines (2019 onwards?) that have (gasoline/petrol particulate filter) due to WLTP requirements
