Jean-Luc Houtreille is a simple man with a simple passion: Classic Alfa Romeos. We recently joined him to collect the full story of his Ochre Superstar:
Alfa Romeo is, for me, the brand which represents, in all model variations, sport. The car that interested me, the car I liked, was the Alfa Romeo Bertone Coupé for its lines, its attitude on the track. It runs on three wheels, generally, it raises a wheel.
I always told myself that one day I would have one.
My name is Jean-Luc Outreille, and I drive an Alfa Romeo Bertone Coupé GT1300 Junior 1968.
Why am I passionate about cars? I think it couldn't have been any different because my maternal grandfather was a mechanic, at FN, at Minerva. He worked in Scotland at Rolls-Royce.
He returned, finished his career as a mechanic at General Motors, here in Mons. My paternal grandfather was executive chauffeur from 1928 to 1974.
And in my early childhood, there were not many cars, not a lot of cars. And when I was five or six years old, we drove executive cars, cars from the factory where my grandfather worked, and I drove when I was a child in Ford Fairlanes, Ford Falcons, Ford Galaxies, Citroen Tractions, DS, Jaguars, from the factory. My father didn't spend all of his career... but he began it as a gas station manager.
I was born in a gas station. I'd bathed in the smell of gasoline since childhood. We attended circuits. Chimay initially, I think, Francorchamps, Nivelles, when the Nivelles circuit opened.
The car I liked was always the Alfa Romeo Bertone Coupé in GTA, in 1300 Junior, in 1600. I became interested in becoming a future buyer in the late 70s. Unfortunately, they were often in very poor condition. They were used cars. So I held on to this dream.
And one day, I saw an ad on the internet, I waited, I thought, I said to myself: "Don't be hasty, we'll look at others.” But it was still there. Its color was yellow, Ocher yellow.
I went to see it, and from the moment I saw it, I couldn't do anything other than buy it.
Alfa Romeo is, anyway, the basis of what became Ferrari. As the founder, Enzo Ferrari, was first a driver, then racing director at Alfa Romeo. It was a car which, for its time, the Alfa GT Junior was, for me, advanced. Dual barrel carburetor, overhead camshaft, four disc brakes, five-speed, in 1968, 63 when it was released, 89 horsepower. Few cars at the time, cars other than those of superstars, could claim to have these qualities. So, with this Alfa, we often go out, we go out with my wife, with a friend who is also passionate. Not bad for short rides.
After 100 years of Alfa Romeo, in 2010, I could finally fulfill a dream: driving the Francorchamps circuit with my Alfa Romeo, finally, realizing a dream. I hoped to fulfill a dream. Unfortunately, I say unfortunately, there were so many cars that the best time on a lap lasted just over an hour because there was nowhere to drive. There were cars from start to finish on the circuit. It wasn't even a lap, it was a parade. But it was still a pleasant time to meet thousands of Alfa Romeos on the Spa circuit.
It's a world... The world of old cars is a friendly world, a world where
when you meet another car, we signal, a world where contact is easy because we share the same values and the same passions.

I owned one of these in the early 70's while stationed in southern Italy. Mine was dark green with tan interior. It remains my all time favorite car. The engine was 1296 cc, aluminum block, dual overhead cams, hemispherical combustion chambers, dual Weber carbs, 5 speed, and nothing but heart and panache. The body was slightly smaller than the GTV 1750 and 2000. It had surprising performance for a car in it's price range. I'd buy one again in a heartbeat! Thanks for the video.
I really love seeing when a man in the latter half of his years finally realizes a long-held dream and owns the car he'd wanted since childhood. There's something heartwarming when a vehicle like this ends up in the hands of someone who truly cherishes it both abstractly and physically.
Classic Alfas are deliciously beautiful.
SpyderRios it's not food how can it be delicious
LT YV Because it makes my mouth salivate like a dog with rabies.
In what sense, exactly???
Alfa is not second to none. He has made automobile history. My dream is this car.
I always respect a chap who wears driving gloves.
I agree...
alberto arcudi I get crap from my buddies for wearing mine whenever I drive my Porsche. It's all good😅
Dennis P I feel it separates the "drivers" from the mere "motorists"!
i wear my dad's leather and cotton '50s driving gloves. he's gone but still here and he was an Alfa GT driver ...as i am.
The last sentence is so true. Once you drive a classic, everyone in the streets greets you, especially other classic car drivers!
proud owner of 1972 Gtv2000...love mine..done so much work to it and i am fanatically proud of it
that one is beautiful too
My best friend had one. Dual Webers. I loved that car and drove it fast many times. I had a '71 1750 sedan. I rebuilt the engine in my dining room. It was a little engineering masterpiece.
Living legend right here.
Bertone Coupe - so beautiful it's like a stab in the heart. One day I will have one!
I love how you never see any other cars on the road in a petrolicious video....they are the Stanley Kubrics of you tube.
Finally , a car in Belgium - thats fantastic - they are loads of ancient car enthusiasts in Belgium and splendid car collections too in Brussels / Antwerpen .
These are some of the most underrated videos on RUclips. Most of them are about cars that are easily attainable to the regular man. I don't care about how cool some douches koenigsegg is.
soooo true
@It is a Beautiful World An AMC Pacer has more soul than these mobile sardine cans.
Nothing better with my morning coffee then a petrolicious video. Gorgeous Alfa!
In troubled times like these, can't we all just take a moment to admire the beauty of these iconic automotive artworks, be thankful for the people keeping them alive, meticulously restoring them in a way that the magnificence of these cars is preserved for the generations to come? Their passion keeps my dreams alive, and I hope that one day, I can partake in passing on these dreams.
This is my all time favorite car and this video is just fantastic!! I'm so glad I've discovered this channel and I love how you guys share the same passion for alfa romeo! For me there is no other car brand with such a tradition who build such amazing cars in the 60s, 70s! Many thanks and thumbs up for petrolicious!
I was 15 years old and this car was almost an impossible dream!
What a machine!!
The production and imagery of this RUclips channel is spectacular. You get to hear so many stories, so many different cultures and all based on automobiles. THANK YOU! for all that you guys do
I would know next to nothing about Alfa's without this channel.
I'm just restoring my Alfa Romeo GT1300 Junior from 1970! It feels just like fullfilling my dream! I'm really looking forward to the moment in which I will take my first drive in this beatiful car! Alfa Romeos are passion!
For every car there's an identity and a face. This is what you do so well. You can elevate this culture to human level that very few can achieve. My honest congrats. Keep up with the great work.
The 105...How on earth did an 18year old kid stun, and continues to stun the motoring world with this exquisite, stunning beautiful, flawless, and timeless design?
The designer was 18 years old FOR GOODNESS SAKE...
The mind boggles..
And yet why should it, what would our world be like without Italy.
Their achievements are mind-blowing to say the very, very least.
You don't get Rome's reputation by being of no consequence.
No sir.
So continue on, beloved Italy, your contribution to our world.
Your impact is vital! ❤
Love classic Alfa Romeos.
Once you become Alfista or get love struck by driving an Alfa there is no way back..it is for ever!
i love the cinematic feel in every petrolicious video add it with some great cars you get 10/10
Petroliciuos, you guys have YET to let me down...keep producing the good stuff. 👍😎
Fantastic video, this one was really helpful for me as I am in the process of learning French. A lot of the time in French class, we watch videos where the subject matter is not as interesting so it's hard to pay attention and absorb the language.
The cars, it's owners and the way the video is made all blend in a nice way and make these videos a delight to watch.
absolutly fantastic, alfa romeo is really a collectors brand... there is something special about them.
Yellow was the international auto racing colour for Belgium; nice touch.
What a friendly stubborn little goat ... and a crispy bell .. around its neck . ☺️
beautiful car. I learnt to drive on my mum's 1750 GTV. So lucky.
So much quality, so little views :(
Thank you Petrolicious, even if in small numbers, our appreciacion as motorists is deep and sincere. Thank you for all your work :*
This one was missing in the petrolicious playlist. My life is complete haha.
Belle redécouverte de cette Alfa , j ai eu le plaisir de posséder la meme , la peinture jaune ocre, et cela fin des année septante dans la région de Charleroi , Cétait le top pour la drague des jolies Italiennes . Merci pour l émotion et le partage
Born in a gas station - that could be considered romantic. Where else could a life lead from there ?
Quel plaisir de vous entendre, Monsieur Outreille! Et je vote pour qu'on utilise "septante" au Québec, c'est plus charmant que "soixante-dix" !
Beautiful Alfa & a very nice gentleman, drive in good health my friend!
When i was a kid , i could see those cars everywhere (France)
merci jean-luc, superbe auto !
Very cool. Great little car, a classic. I love driving my 105 GTV too although mine is not a step nose.
One of the most beautiful Alfas ever.
Back when Alfas where Alfas
and FIATs were actually reliable cars...
All what remains now is unreliable FIATs with different badges.
thats pretty sad indeed - i loved their older models to both brands .
Hey, I don't think it's going that bad. I have a 156 with the 16v 1.9 JTD. The 156 has the Delta Integrale inspired suspension (as per word of Limone) and it handles really great. Bought it used with 214k km on it and apart from old suspension parts, it has been most reliable.
The new Giulia is also great. It really is. I think alfa is coming back. 159 would have to be the worst, just a rebagded opel.
I'm so glad that I bought a 21:9 monitor. Your videos look so much better now!
The bonnet is amazing, my favourite era for the alfa's. Nice car and story thanks !
i am in the works of restoring a 1974 dodge dart swinger, and when its done i hope i can be on this show :D
i live in sweden though :p
NIce
***** 318, btw does anyone know where i can get a center armrest for it? cant find one anywhere
Dodge lmao
supremacistdawn u wot
Bella...bella...bella, bravo!
This car is wonderful. It really makes me happy. Thanks for sharing.
Complimenti a questo signore
i will say the same thing that he said when he was younger: one day i will own one!
South4153 you will be owned by the car before you even owning it
LT YV huuh? i don't get it english is not my main language sorry^^
English isn't my main language too. Work on it dude.
LT YV so what languages do you speak?
wir können auch auf deutsch diskutieren?
possiamo parlare italiano?
ou peut-être tu préfères le francais?
Isn't this also known as the GT Junior 1300? One of the best classics
That`s what it says on the decklid, spelled out in english
Yes, quite sure. But not 100%.
Megat Afiq These cars have 20 names :) gt junior if its the more basic model, Gtv or sprint gt for the bigger engined models, the theres then later Gt 2000. Bertone coupe covers them all I guess
I thought it was also nicknamed the 'letterbox' model because of the 'slit' bonnet.
never heard letterbox, could be lol. Stepnose and Scalino are used for this model with the step in front of the bonnet
Sweet looking car. I've seen these before when I was a boy. I thought it looked awesome! :)
Superbe voiture !
J'en suis tombé amoureux totalement par hasard en me baladant. Elle était garée dans la cour d’une propriété. Cette petite sortie m’a finalement coûté cher... ;)
Je defie quiconque qui prendra son volant de ne pas craquer
Merci Alfa !
Mes compiments, c'est ma voitire préférée, toutes considérations de gamme, prix, etc...
The only channel I will ever turn AdBlock off for
Whoo, Belgium ❤️
This is basically me in 50-60 years from now
che auto che bellezza che stile...unico...mi viene da piangere
Oh my, what a beauty.
Je veux la même et un jour, je l'aurai !
Stunning car.
4:40 I too have a passionate 'friend' who comes over from time to time.
This is what Italy is missing today
Forget Italy: Italy is a "has been." Get rid of Maccione, but it's actually too late for that. Italy will disintegrate soon, and we can thank Italian banks and bankers.
Jo Fair if you are not Italian you cannot judge because you have no idea what it means to live in this country and deal with the politicians faults
Jo Fair and by the way this is a car channel and not a political one so stick to the topic of cars
Superb car, superb color...I am astonished.
Che spettacolo! Sarebbe un sogno possederne una un giorno.
I love the duct tape holding the plate on the front of the car! Nice video!
My dream car
Tout simplement magnifique...
la Giulia gt è bellissima!!! bravo Jean Luc!!!
Une magnifique vidéo, une fois!
Too cool - the car and the guy!!!
Adore Alfa
Absolument magnifique !
A Belgian car in Petrolicious, superb!
Has anybody else noticed how he duct taped the front license plate? Lol
La voiture de mes rêves...
this is ART!
wonderful !!!!!!!
What a great colour!
Dream car :))
I'd love to see more Alfa videos! Also a couple videos on MGs would be cool to see!
I like the duct-tape front license plate frame.
Beautiful, bon voyage.
I have 1750 mark 1 and find it impossible to beat
very nice and rust free!
look again, not rust free at all! But some nice patina on it, I love it.
lovely.
I wish Cmdr Data was here to translate what Cpt Jean-Luc was saying here
Klasse Act You might want to turn on english captions.
turn on cc
YES PASSION !!! I wish you thousands of kilometres !!
hi from Belguim! nice car!
nice story and amazing car!
Beautiful!
A friend had a 912 Porsche this same color. We called it Baby Shit Brown.
Ocra, un colore unico che solo le Alfa GT potevano permettersi. Oggi valgono moltissimo.
Btw Petrolicious, when will we see again a Lancia on your amazing channel? There's a lot of choice in the Lancia heritage, just choose one... :)
Nice car!!!
No speaky. No subtitles. No comprehenday. No unnerstan.
Title is wrong when shared to FB...says 1978 instead of 68
Belgique!!!
Lovely !
Beautiful car i really do want one one day. :) But it hurts me to see the licenseplate duct taped on, just knowing how ugly it gets under that tape, it really should have been another solution here. But otherwise a spectacular car. And i love that alfas still stand out from the crowd, i drive a 2006 159SW 1,9jts in dark grey, and kids still point and smile when they see it, and Alfa drivers have a good community, except if you forget to wave when you see meet them on the road. :)
Cc doesn't work with Apple TV.
Wow this video was done in Belgium ?! I live there, I can recognize some places!! I can't believe Petrolicious was there :o
