1977 Alfa Romeo Alfetta

Basic Information and History

1977 Alfa Romeo Alfetta 1800 (1.8 8V)

This car has had four owners in Sweden since it was re-registered in the country. Originally sold new in Sweden in 1977 with the registration number BTF 535, it was exported to Norway sometime after 2002, when it was last inspected in Sweden. In 2011, it was reintroduced into the Swedish registry. The number of owners in Sweden prior to export, as well as in Norway, is unknown.

The Alfa Romeo Alfetta is a fantastic model first introduced in 1972, named after the Grand Prix racing car Alfa Romeo 159, popularly known as "Alfetta" – or "Little Alfa" in Swedish. The model was produced as both a coupé (GT/GTV) and a sedan (Berlina), which this particular example is.

The Alfetta quickly became known for its driving pleasure thanks to its rev-happy and lively Twin Cam engine and its advanced transaxle setup, where the gearbox is located in the rear to provide better weight distribution. However, like many cars from the 1970s, it was prone to rust, which has caused many examples to disappear over time.

This specific car has held up relatively well, although some work is required to make it entirely rust-free. For anyone who appreciates the Alfetta’s unique design and driving joy, this is an excellent investment – a model likely to increase in value in the future.
