Alfa Romeo GTV and Spider Curiosities
To start this page a strange code, located in the boot under a small piece of detachable carpet. This is not a paintwork identification plate, despite baing so stated in a workshop manual.
Alfa Romeo GTV was listed at nr 29 in Jeremy Clarkson’s Top 100 Cars from 2001.
Also featured in at least 4 Top Gear (Original Series), 2 Top Gear (2002) and 3 Fifth Gear episodes.

Why is that the Phase 1 and 2 cars have a width of 1,780 mm but Phase 3 cars are only 1,776 mm width? Where are those 4 mm?
It seams that there were none of this versions ever produced and no records of it whatsoever. No VIN found so far.

Alfa 166 did not incorporate 916 rear suspension, although being also of the multi-link setup it uses one lower wishbone and 3 control rods.
916 donated its door mirrors to… MY.1996 Maserati Quattroporte
