1968 Alfa Romeo GTV & 1967 Vespa

The pairing of this 1968 Alfa Romeo GTV 1750 with a 1967 Vespa 50N feels like a love letter to Italian motoring culture at its most honest and expressive. Offered together by a Berlin based dealer, this is not just a car and a scooter, but a carefully curated moment in time.

The GTV began life as a German market example and has since undergone a meticulous multi year refurbishment completed in 2024. Finished in its factory correct Giallo Ocra over Nero Skai vinyl, the car presents with the kind of depth and detail that only comes from a full strip down and rebuild. The 1779cc twin cam engine was refreshed and retains its dual Weber carburetors, now paired with a modern programmable ignition for improved drivability. On the road, this is exactly how a classic Alfa should feel responsive, mechanical, and full of character.

We particularly like the subtle upgrades here. Bilstein suspension and Montreal sourced ventilated front brakes improve confidence without diluting originality. Inside, the flying buttress seats, wood rim steering wheel, and Jaeger gauges strike a perfect balance between sport and elegance.

The included 1967 Vespa 50N completes the picture beautifully. Finished in yellow with a black seat, it is simple, charming, and unmistakably period correct. Together, these two capture the spirit of weekend drives, espresso stops, and slower roads. If you value authenticity over hype, this duo is hard to beat.
