The ALFA ROMEO GTV (1996-05) 2DR COUPE 2.0 16V TS is a compact, two-door sports coupe, sitting in the UK market as an affordable, distinctive alternative to everyday hatchbacks and larger executive cars. Its sculpted Italian styling gives it real presence, while the four-seat cabin is best treated as occasional-use space rather than practical family transport. With its lively 2.0-litre petrol engine and engaging feel, the GTV suits enthusiasts, couples and drivers wanting a weekend car with character, rather than commuters prioritising low running costs or first-time buyers needing easy practicality. Compared with more common coupes, it stands out for its unmistakably Italian design and sporting personality. mycarcheck.com records show 10 look-ups across just two VINs, so figures are a small snapshot, not market averages. Within that sample, average private-sale valuation was £900, recorded mileage 21,000, annual use 2,000 miles and previous keepers 2.2. Check each car’s condition and history carefully.
