Buying Tips for 1969 Alfa Romeo GT
- On 1.9 JTDm diesel and 2.0 JTS petrol engines, insist on evidence of cambelt and water pump changes every 36,000 miles or 3 years.
- Inspect upper and lower front suspension wishbones and anti-roll bar drop links for perished bushes and ball joint play.
- Inspect inner and outer structural sills and floorpan jacking points on a ramp for hidden rust perforation beneath plastic side skirts.
- On 3.2 Busso V6 models, verify whether a Q2 or Quaife mechanical limited-slip differential has been retrofitted to prevent factory differential casing failure.
- Test both frameless electric windows to ensure they drop slightly when opening doors and seal firmly into the rubber seals upon closing.
