SouthwellThe Classicwise Collection is a company formed by Sam Fretwell after he became unable to continue in his employment as a result of injuries sustained as the innocent party in a near fatal road accident in May 2012. Sam has grown up around classic cars and knows all about them as his father used to import rust-free European sports cars from California USA and also built up a successful Porsche 911 sales and service business in the 1990’s. Since leaving school in 2007 Sam worked for the family business Weonlymot.co.uk, initially on reception at the various branches, but then became one of the youngest people ever to become an authorised MOT tester, and then by the end of 2011 was promoted to Branch Development Manager. He had identified, equipped and just opened his first new weonlymot.co.uk branch in Grimsby and was on his way back from there to the Ollerton head office when he involved in the horrific accident. Calling upon his father’s experience in addition to that already amassed himself, Sam’s intention is to establish himself and his company in the classic car business offering initially classic car service and repair, alongside vehicle sales & brokerage. He hopes to be able to offer classic car storage and enclosed transportation as the business develops at Bypass Garage Epperstone. The Classicwise Collection are always interested in any classic vehicle from the early 1900’s to the 1990’s. The images to the right were taken in December 1997 the little chap is Sam. The late twice Le Mans Race winning team boss Tom Walkinshaw pictured taking delivery of his fully restored and upgraded ‘rubber-bumpered’ MGB from Sam’s father. Mr Walkinshaw had purchased this for his own father in law’s 70th birthday.
Here at Classicwise we are delighted to offer this highly original 1983 Alfa Romeo GTV 2.0, a wonderfully preserved example of one of the most engaging Italian drivers cars of its era. Presented in classic wedge shaped coupe form and benefiting from the desirable right hand drive configuration, this GTV represents an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a well cared for and low mileage Alfa Romeo Alfetta series car.This particular example has covered just 48000 miles from new and has remained within single family ownership for the majority of its life. It has clearly been cherished throughout, spending its years garaged and maintained with care. The condition today reflects this sympathetic ownership, with the car retaining an authentic and highly original feel throughout. Panel fit, brightwork and detailing all present in keeping with a car that has led a sheltered existence.Under the bonnet sits Alfa Romeos renowned twin cam 2.0 litre engine, paired with the marques characteristic rear mounted five speed transaxle layout which provides excellent balance and rewarding driving dynamics. The chassis specification includes independent front suspension, De Dion rear axle arrangement, rack and pinion steering and four wheel disc brakes, all combining to deliver the sharp handling and communicative driving experience that has long defined the Alfetta based GTV models.Inside, the cabin is a true period environment with black cloth faced seats, distinctive fishnet headrests and rectangular instrument binnacles. A wood rim steering wheel and matching wooden gear knob add further character, while general wear points such as pedal rubbers and seat belts support the recorded low mileage. The car sits on factory style fifteen inch alloy wheels fitted with Goodyear tyres, and the engine bay still displays evidence of its original anti corrosion protection.The car benefits from a comprehensive service history from new, with documented servicing carried out at regular mileage intervals and the most recent recorded service completed at approximately 43500 miles. Accompanying the vehicle is a useful history file including the owners manual, service book and anti corrosion documentation, further reinforcing its provenance and careful life. Examples of the 1983 GTV 2.0 are now scarce on UK roads, making this a particularly appealing proposition for collectors and enthusiasts alike.This Alfa Romeo GTV will be supplied by Classicwise with a full health check, service and 12 months MOT prior to handover, ready to be driven and enjoyed.Why not book a viewing.
