1972 - Alfa Romeo 2000 Berlina French registration Chassis n°2320504 Engine n°AR00512*S0174 - The most upmarket Alfa Romeo of its time - Beautiful livery with magnesium wheels and long-range headlights - Good general condition and running order - 47800 kms on the odometer, probably corresponding to 147800 kms Introduced in January 1968, the Alfa Romeo 1750 replaced the Giulia, which had been a great commercial success. Code-named "project 105", the new sedan had to do better in every respect. Its lines are still the work of designer Bertone, and its angular shapes are perfectly in tune with the times. The 1750 is intended to be more upmarket than the Giulia, more powerful but also more comfortable. The engine block is made entirely of aluminum and features two overhead camshafts. It develops 118 hp and delivers a top speed of over 180 km/h. A 132-hp 2000 version followed in 1971. The body remained unchanged from the 1750, but was fitted with air conditioning. The powertrain also evolved, with 4 disc brakes and a 5-speed gearbox, enabling this sedan to reach 195 km/h. This made it the top-of-the-range Alfa Romeo. The Peugeot 504, a direct competitor, is larger in terms of dimensions, yet much less powerful than the Alfa Romeo 2000 Berlina. It's a very comfortable car, but also a high performer, making it one of the class champions for its time. It bowed out in 1977 after 191,720 units sold, of which 89,840 were equipped with the 2000 engine. The Alfa Romeo 2000 Berlina we are pleased to offer is of French origin, and was launched by the Alfa Romeo dealership in the 8th arrondissement of Paris. It boasts a superb electric blue color typical of the Seventies, magnesium accessory wheels (Jil) and additional long-range headlights. The interior is finished in beige leather of excellent workmanship, with woodwork in a very good state of preservation. The engine is factory-spec, and we assume that it is original, based on the nameplate still present in the front compartment. A number of documents confirm that the car clocked up 138,740 kilometers in 1993, while its odometer now reads 147,776. We can therefore certify that it has been in original condition for over 30 years, which is quite rare for a car of this type. Its current owner acquired it in 2019. The carburetors were adjusted and the rocker panels rebuilt in 2021. It is accompanied by its period presentation brochure and its up-to-date technical inspection dated September 2024. Finding an Alfa Romeo 2000 Berlina in this state of preservation will be no easy task, as this is a model that has rarely benefited from the care it deserves. Our example will allow you to enjoy the vocals of its superb 4-cylinder engine, so dear to the hearts of Alfa enthusiasts, in a hushed atmosphere and with bold styling.
