1996 Alfa Romeo Spider Review - Does this cheap GTV have one too many problems?

The Alfa Romeo GTV and GTV Spider were launched at the Geneva motor show in March 1996.

These small, very beautiful cars sort of replaced two previous Alfa Romeo models, if only spiritually… The Alfa Romeo GT, type 116, and the Spider, Type 105/115. Although the fourth generation spider ceased production in 1994, the basic platform dated back to 1966, hence the need for a modern roadster. As for an Alfa Romeo Coupe, production of the GT had finished by 1986, 9 years before the GTV coupe would reach the first owners.

The car shown in this video belongs to a Geoff follower, and was loaned to me for a video. I’d never driven an Alfa Romeo GTV before, so leapt at the chance to find out what his cheap little convertible was all about…
