I think you have done really well, just read the ad on Pistonheads, sounds like an enthusiastic owner, the only other one that i noticed that looks in superb condition is this one

Yep did think that Loz but in one and running one is a different kettle of fish unfortunatly...One day......
Adam the guy is a real gent..He has spent 6k on the car in the last 3 years upgrading and servicing and all done at Autolusso..Phoned them and they said it was the best GTV out there......Looks what he's done and added...This is from the advert.....All I'm going to do is give it a little more power maybe aim for 240/250 and we will be track ready...
Alfa Romeo GTV 3.0 V6 24v with Q2 Limited Slip Differential
With 59,100 miles, I am the second owner from new, have had her for 3.5 years. Late 2001, Road Tax capped at £245 pa.
This is the phase 2 6 speed Aero model with auto drop windows, 17' Teledials, Brembo Brakes and very rare Momo Electric heated Leather seats. The spoiler was deleted from the order by the 1st owner.
Service History
Supplying dealer (Desira Southgate) service history to 2007 and Autolusso ever since. 10, that's Ten stamps with invoices detailing all the work done, ever. Last serviced in July 2010 at 55,000 miles. Receipts amount to around £9,000.00 in all
I have all 4 keys and the code card plus all original handbooks / paperwork including original sale invoice.
I've spent well over 6k in the last 3.5 years of ownership covering 20,000 miles, absolutely no expense spared and all the necessary upgrades have been done.
Replaced parts and upgrades
Cambelt replaced in 2007 and again in 2008 at 41k under warranty as Alternator belt poorly fitted by Desira at previous service which then shredded and took a chunk out of the cambelt.
Alternator replaced in 2008 same time as cambelt as precaution
Clutch in 2008 at 42k, dual mass flywheel replaced with lighter GTA flywheel and Q2 Limited slip differential fitted at the same time
Autodelta rear exhaust section fitted 2009, makes it sound as it should.
Anthracite 17' teledial wheels refurbed in 2010, one has subsequently been kerbed.
Drilled Brembo Front Brake Discs
New Battery in 2009
OSF driveshaft and cv joint replaced in 2010
New Radiator Dec 2010
All suspension components replaced:
Koni Sport Adjustable suspension all round and eibach springs (fitted oct 2010).
Weischer front strut brace 2010
Front anti roll bar 2008
ARB drop links 2008
Front wishbones replaced twice, Oct 2007 and again Jan 2011 with original alfa parts
Suspension Top mounts 2010
Top Engine Tie Bar 2009
Front calipers refurbished 2009
All rear suspension parts refurbished powder coated and poly bushed Jan 2010
In Car Electrics
Remote control Alpine and Infinity sound system.
Parrot MKI9100 Bluetooth with Screen (works with iPhone)
Standard alarm with anti hijack enabled
Modified rear screen heater circuit to bypass fuseboard
Airbag connections removed and hardwired to prevent false warning light
Rewired loom to Head unit to convert to switched live
Door pins replaced with status leds
Boot pop switch moved from glove box to centre console
In Summary
Straight honest car, in very good cosmetic condition. It revs much better with the lighter flywheel, and handles brilliantly with the polybush/koni/eibach/weischer set up. The interior is very good, but there are a couple of scratches and some crazing on the driver seat bolster.
This has to be one of the best condition, spec'd and lower mileage GTVs in the country. The guys at Autolusso can vouch for the care / attention and money I have lavished on this car, they think I'm mad selling it.
