Alfa Romeo Alfetta 2.0, Baujahr 1977 (Erstzulassung 13. Dezember 1977). Farbe Elfenbein (Avorio, AR-Code 103) kombiniert mit einer braun/cognacfarbenen Innenausstattung. Dieser fantastische Alfa Romeo Alfetta wurde neu in Campegine (RE), Italien, an Herrn D. Attolini verkauft. Dies ist die erste Serie Alfetta 2.0, die 1977 auf dem Genfer Autosalon vorgestellt wurde. Das neue Alfetta Limousinen Modell unterschied sich vom Alfetta 1800 und 1600 durch eine komplett neu gestaltete Nase, rechteckige Scheinwerfer und ein komplett neu gestaltetes modernes Interieur mit besseren Materialien. Nur die Autos von 1977 hatten ein Armaturenbrett mit horizontalem Aluminiumstreifen und „2000“ in der Mitte. 1978 wurde dies zu einem Kunststoff-Holzstreifen ohne die 2000-Markierung geändert. Der Alfa Romeo Alfetta ist eine der am besten ausbalancierten und am besten fahrenden sportlichen viertürigen Limousinen der damaligen Zeit. Das Layout mit Frontmotor und ‚Transaxle‘-Getriebe nahe der Hinterachse sorgt für eine nahezu ideale Gewichtsverteilung der Alfetta. Der Vollaluminiummotor mit zwei obenliegenden Nockenwellen, das Fünfganggetriebe und die De-Dion-Hinterachse runden den sportlichen Hintergrund der Alfetta ab. Dieses wunderbare und vollständig originale Exemplar ist innen und außen in einem hervorragenden Zustand! Der Kilometerzähler zeigt 93.177 Kilometer an. Das Auto wird komplett mit dem originalen Serviceheft und Bedienungsanleitung geliefert. Ebenfalls enthalten ist ein „Logbuch“, in dem der/die Vorbesitzer wichtige Aktualisierungen festgehalten haben. Die Historie ist ab Tag 1 dokumentiert, Servicerechnungen sind auch vorhanden. Die letzten Arbeiten wurden vom letzten Besitzer perfekt ausgeführt; Bei 86.880 km (Februar 2022) wurden Flüssigkeiten gewechselt, Motoröl (einschließlich Filter) und Getriebeöl. Bei 87.680 km (Juni 2022) wurde der Luftfilter gewechselt. Bei 87.850 km (Oktober 2022) wurde die Ventildeckeldichtung erneuert, beide Spurstangen erneuert und die Räder/Lenkung ausgerichtet. Neue Original Brembo Scheibenbremsen wurden eingebaut, neue Bremsbeläge und die Bremsflüssigkeit wurde gewechselt (DOT 4). Dieser Alfa Romeo Alfetta 2.0 mit dem 1977 Armaturenbrett-Stil ist eine echte Zeitkapsel in ausgezeichnetem Zustand, ein fantastischer Fund für den Alfa Romeo-Sammler und -Enthusiasten!

Alfa Romeo history

The marque Alfa Romeo is one of the most important names in the history of the automobile."Alfa" (Sociètà Anonima Lombardo Fabbrica Automobili) was founded in the year 1910. The company was given the name Alfa Romeo after Mr. Nicolo Romeo bought the firm in the year 1915.

Alfa Romeo started building small automobiles for "everyday" passenger transportation. In the early 1920'ies Alfa Romeo also started engineering and building sports- and racing-cars.
The automobiles built by Alfa Romeo were all technically refined and far ahead of their competitors; New inventions and technical discoveries were engineered, tested and introduced in the production models right away. A good example is the introduction of the double overhead camshafts (DOHC), all Alfa Romeo engines from 1929 up to today are fitted with this superior overhead valve operating principle.

During the thirties and in the end of the forties of the ninetieth century Alfa Romeo was the dominant marque in racing competitions. Alfa Romeo racingcars were able to win all racing competitions which they competed in like Le Mans and the Mille Miglia. In the early thirties Enzo Ferrari was racing for "scruderia"Alfa Romeo and was promoted to be team manager in the late thirties. Alfa Romeo decided to put an end to the racing activities in 1938 and Enzo Ferrari decided to start his own racingcar business in 1940...

Before the second world war Alfa Romeo produced primarily rolling chassis as technical base for passenger automobiles. These rolling chassis were in most cases fitted with body designs created by the famous Italian bodywork artists like Touring and Zagato.
The rolling chassis type being manufactured by Alfa Romeo during these prewar years was the 6C. The 6C chassis/engine combination through the years: 1750/55 bhp. (from 1929), 1900/68 bhp. (from 1933), 2300/68-95 bhp. (from 1934) 2500/ 87-110 bhp. (from 1939).
Next to the Alfa Romeo 6C chassis/engine-combination Alfa Romeo introduced the 8C in the year 1931. The 8C chassis/ engine combination was primarily used for racing- and sportscars. The 8C engine featured eight cylinders-in-line, dry-sump engine lubrication and a blower (compressor) giving the engine a power output of 150 bhp.!
All Alfa Romeo models built before the second world war were fitted with the steering wheel on the right hand side of the car.

After the second world war Alfa Romeo started producing the 6C 2500 again which had been in production for over ten years already. Just in time the people in charge of Alfa Romeo realized that the industry had changed and that the market for large, expensive "tailor made" automobiles was increasing rapidly.
To survive they decided to reconsider their position and started preparing for standardized industrial automobile production as other manufacturers did before following the ideas of Henry Ford.

In the year 1949 the first result of the new Alfa Romeo era saw the light of day; the Alfa Romeo 1900!
The Alfa Romeo 1900 was the first Alfa Romeo built with a unitary bodywork construction (without separate chassis). The car was also the first fully industrial -mass- produced car to come out of the Alfa Romeo factory.
In the early fifties of the ninetieth century Alfa Romeo started to compete in racing-events again...racing their old prewar competition-cars and WINNING with Fangio behind the wheel! Soon thereafter Ferrari, Jaguar and Mercedes were back in winning position.

1954 was the year of introduction of the Alfa Romeo Giulietta series. The Alfa Romeo 1900 was still in production then but production was ceased in the year 1958. The Giulietta series included some very fine classics like the Bertone Sprint, Giulietta SS (Sprint Speciale) and the Pinin Farina Convertible.
The year 1962 saw the introduction of the Giulia series with a handsome, modern and sporty, four-door saloon, a Giulia Spider Veloce (successor of the Alfa Romeo Duetto), a Giulia GTV coupe model by Bertone and an impressive Zagato 1300 junior. The Giulietta SS was prolonged and renamed Giulia SS.

All Giulietta and Giulia models were characterized by their unitary bodywork construction, their powerfull aluminum alloy engines, double overhead camshafts and five speed gearboxes (with floor shift!), excellent roadholding capabilities and excellent body designs.
Alfa Romeo has the honour together with Mercedes Benz to have the greatest racing and sportscar history which continued over many decades. Regretfully it was that in the 1980'ies not very much was left that symbolized that great history. The cars coming out of the factory those days (Alfetta series) were more or less dull (many saloons), not very inspiring - except the Alfetta GTV, quality was poor and no one at Alfa Romeo was thinking of racing anymore for decades.

The Alfetta series was not the bestseller the Giulia has been for Alfa Romeo. Alfa Romeo did have a potential best seller; the Alfasud (a tremendous driver with boxer-engine!) Over one million were sold but overall quality was so bad, the car already rusted during production, that the Alfa Romeo name was crushed. In the mid-eighties Alfa Romeo was ready to shut the factory gates as it was reluctantly taken over by Fiat. It took Fiat/ Alfa Romeo almost fifteen years to rebuilt the old Alfa Romeo image by good marketing and by building better Alfa Romeo cars every generation. It started with the Alfa 33 (with boxer-engine), 75 and 164 (both with rear-wheel drive). Then the new generation 145, 146 and 155 followed (all front wheel drive) Specials were introduced at the same time which hit bulls eye; the GTV and the Spider!
The third generation put Alfa Romeo really back on the map of modern motoring enthusiasts; the Alfa Romeo 156, the 166 and the 147. All well designed by Alfa Romeo the then chief designer Walther de Silva.
