    Timeless! When i saw it the first time 1995 driving by, it felt like a spaceship. I was so impressed, in my opinion still one of the most beautiful cars ever made.

    Great video thank you. I own a 1998 3.0 version and have the same level of affection for that Busso engine. It is pure visceral Italian muscle .......

    I'm having my GTV overhauled currently, I've spent a small fortune on welding last year and I'll be picking it up next week after having the cambelt, water pump single mass flywheel clutch and a few other jobs carried out by a specialist down in Edinburgh.
    There's plenty more welding to be done, paint and finishing touches until she'll be on the road. It's been over 4 years now since I last drove her in anger and boy I can't wait.
    Hence why I'm watching videos of folks on CZcams talking about them 😄 Braw video sir and you've done it justice! Shame you didn't get an exterior shot to hear how the exhaust sounded but I've got a good idea myself. 😉

    As a 2.0 phase 3 GTV owner I have to admit I'm still wanting to scratch the Busso itch even though I found a tidy, well maintained example, nothings missing, everything works and it's a total pleasure to drive. This one looks awesome in the Azzurro Nuvola and the Alfaholics treatment no doubt makes it even more special. What a thing!

    The 916 was designed by Enrico Fumia, not Walter de Silva.

      Walter de Silva designed the interior and Enrico Fumia the exterior if I'm not mistaken

    Beautiful car, always liked the Alfa’s, had a 156 was one of my favourite and funnily enough one of my more reliable.

    • @JohnsGarageIreland
      @JohnsGarageIreland  Před 3 měsíci

      My 159 was brilliant tbh. I had a 146 which had been badly cared for by previous owners and it behaved as you'd expect.

    Sorry but not a great start to the video to start by giving false information. The car was not designed by Walter De Silva. It was designed by Enrico Fumia at Pininfarina and the interior is by Centro Stile Alfa Romeo. Also the 3.2 has 240hp as standard. Getting 270 out of it would require uprated cams, not just ECU remap. Other than that, nice video of what I think is a somewhat forgotten and under appreciated modern classic.

    Nice Alfa indeed. Two things come to mind : Is the aerial on the roof factory ?...The 3.2 from factory put out 240 hp so are we saying just a ecu remap on a n/a engine gives up 30 hp ? ......Not sure about that ! Maybe 10 hp tops . Get it on a rolling road for the truth..........Nice video

    • @roasthunter
      @roasthunter Před 2 měsíci +1

      The GTV has an factory electric aerial on the rear left quarter, the roof aerial is not original, it's an awful addition if you ask me. I doubt 30bhp will come from a remap, I had 3.2 156 GTA once which on paper was 250bhp but a rolling road recorded it well above that, I can't remember the exact figure but it was at least 10bhp more.

      Removing the pre cats combined with an ECU tune gave an additional 30 bhp, a common upgrade. The 3.2 all gave 250 from factory. The 240 assigned to non GTA 3.2 versions was purely a paperwork exercise so as to give the GTA's an edge. In reality, no difference in tune or power between any 3.2.

    Looks better today than when it was launched. Hit and miss reliability and build quality. Lucky to get a good one.

    T Spark is the better daily driver, I hammered mine for years and it needed only a few bits & pieces with regular servicing and so not expensive at all. Love the Busso but I also love the T Spark with a decent exhaust.
