    Hi. I'm new to the Alfa world, currently own a Maserati GranSport.
    Saw a 1972 Alfa 2000 in my neighborhood for sale. Has 75k miles on it. Didn't come up with much on a search except for this thread which is terrific.
    It's not a collector car but appears to be in good shape. I would certainly have it looked at by a knowledgeable mechanic but hoped to get some impressions from owners and aficiandos like yourselves.
    Many thanks

    I had a 1600 GTV for several years and have a good buddy (acthally two) with a 2000 GTV.

    Compared to a modern car such as a GranSport, the Alfa will be slow and noisy but with a charm and mechanical feel which no modern car can emulate.

    AlfaBB.com is a great resource.

    Buy one!

    Charm is what I'm seeking.

    Drive it and see if you like it! If I had the space, I'd have a GTV again.

    Hey. I just saw the thread again. No, the wheels on my car are old Ronal's.
    I just finished wet sanding and rubbing the car. Kinda saved the aweful old paint.
    Thanks!!!!

    this color combination just nailed it in 1982, last of the series 2B's. A navy/bright blue leather interior, and 'sea foam green' paint, just stunning! All that is needed is a set of stainless bumpers and this is a sweet looking and fully functional daily driver!

    June gloom in Southern California is a perfect time to use the Alfa as a commuter. I've been saving mine for Wednesdays- just works out best with my schedule.

    Great to wake up Wednesday AM and think that today's Wednesday- gonna drive the Alfa in to work :)

    Nice to feel her keys in my pocket all day knowing that I'll have a fun drive home. :)

    This is my little 1972 Alfa 105 Series 2000GTV. She is a tight light machine with a pretty good body and of course lots of fun to drive. The next addition to the garage will have to be a Ferrari!

    Well watched a perfectly boring movie last night, beautiful scenery but what a slow script...

    Anyways, saw part of a beautiful Alfa Romeo in one of the scenes. Would have loved to see more. Which model is it?
