The Alfa Romeo 1750 was a medium-priced range of cars presented in 1967 by Alfa Romeo.
Designed by Bertone, the 1750 Berlina sedan and 1750 GTV coupe were introduced in 1967, based off the existing Giulia range of cars. They made use of the same body shell as their predecessors, but made significant changes to the trim details. The coupe and the sedan shared most of the same mechanics, a 1779cc twin-carb engine and hydraulic clutch, but the coupe had a shorter wheel-base.
In 1968 the Spider, formerly available as 1300 ccm and 1600 ccm cars only, received the 1779 ccm engine of the 1750 Berlina. While output rose only slightly from 87/104 hp (DIN) to 118 hp (DIN), the new engine was much more tractable and flexible. US versions only were equipped with a mechanical Spica fuel injection system.
In 1972 the 1750 series was replaced with the 2000 series, with approximately 100,000 units being produced.

[edit] Alfa Romeo 2000
2000 series was made by Alfa Romeo between 1971-1977. It was available as sedan (Berlina),coupe (GT Veloce) and convertible (Spider Veloce). Engine was bored and stroked out to 2.0 L now. Easiest way to separate 2000 from 1750 is different grill. With two carburetors this 1962cc twincam engine produced 132 PS. Top speed was 200 km/h and acceleration took 9 seconds 0-100 km/h. In USA this was was equipped with mechanical fuel injection. Transmission was 5-speed manual (also 3-speed automatic on some versions). GT Veloce looks similar than Giulia GT that why its called sometimes as Giulia GTV. Because car is desinged by Bertone its also sometimes called as Bertone GTV. Spider Veloce was continuation to Spider Duetto
