1983 Alfa Romeo GTV review from Australia and New Zealand
"If it were well maintained, it would have went like a scalded cat"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Gearbox needed an overhaul.
Rear brakes needed an overhaul.
The body was very rusty.
The handbrake lever broke one day while I was parking.
Then engine continuously ran out of tune and no amount of servicing would help it.
General comments?
I drove it when it belonged to my step father, it drove and handled very well.
It went into rapid decline though, from lack of use.
