Designed by the young Giorgetto Giugiaro for Bertone, the GTV was an instant classic from its introduction as the Giulia Sprint GT in 1963.

This engine was smoother, torquier and with greater power. Originally a California car, this GTV was purchased by a father and son collector in 2014, it since been restored.
