Back about 25 years ago when I bought my GTV, they were cool,old interesting cars you could pick up for not much money. Now GTV's seem to be following the air-cooled 911 into terra expensiva. That's great if you are a hedge fund manager, but for the rest of us, if we want to make our GTV dreams a reality, we will need to bring a little sweat equity.

Back when I was 25, I was 4 years out of college, living in a one bedroom rented condo in a soon to be gentrified neighborhood. In 1963, when Giorgetto Giugiaro was 25, he was working at the design house of Bertone in Torino, and created his first major design, the Alfa Romeo Sprint GT/GTV. His iconic design will live on far into the future after he is gone. I can't say that any of the TPS Reports I created will do the same.

The original Osso di Seppia (bone of cuttlefish) Spider (105/115 series) was designed by Pininfarina and produced by Alfa Romeo from 1966 to 1969. The first generation (Series 1) is also known as the boat tail or round tail to differentiate it from the later Kamm back (Series 2), duck tail (Series 3) and smooth tail (Series 4). It is the quintessential affordable classic Italian roadster...but they aren't so affordable these days, but this one doesn't look bad.
