THE ALFA ROMEO GIULIA

First introduced in 1962, the early Giulia differed from the outwardly similar 101-Series Giulietta by virtue of its more powerful and much less fussy 1,570cc engine, which continued when the new 105-Series Giulia was introduced later that same year. Despite its boxy, unitary construction body the newcomer was a paragon of aerodynamic efficiency and possessed a distinctly sporting nature, the 92bhp produced by its classic twin-cam four-cylinder engine making the Giulia TI a genuine 100mph car. Under the skin the Giulia featured a five-speed manual gearbox, independent front suspension, coil-sprung live rear axle and - apart from early cars - disc brakes all round, a formula that carried over into the Coupe version, the Giulia Sprint GT.

Launched in 1963, the Sprint GT was clothed in beautifully balanced four-seater coachwork penned by Carrozzeria Bertone's Giorgetto Giugiaro but now manufactured at Alfa's new Arese factory. It represented a successful attempt to produce a typically sporting Alfa Coupe for the young family man, a modestly priced four-seater combining the elegance of a Bertone-designed body with the performance of a twin-cam engine. Introduced in 1967, the 1750 GT Veloce (or GTV) came with many improvements. Most significantly the all-alloy Twin Cam engine was upgraded to 1,779cc, and the in-house SPICA fuel injection system was fitted to US-market cars, improving the performance stats. These lovely Italian Coupes were purpose-built for spirited, high rev driving and offer great performance and beautiful Bertone design in an approachable package.


THE MOTORCAR OFFERED

This stunning Alfa Romeo 1750 GT Veloce presents beautiful with the exterior finished in the vibrant Olive Green Metallic color, and the original black vinyl interior is still in lovely condition. Much mechanical refurbishment work has been performed, including a rebuild of the fuel injection system, new carrier bushings, tie rod ends, shocks, brake lines, exhaust, door check straps, various gaskets, and a retro sound system. The twin-cam, all-alloy engine is a delight, and the 5-speed box enables the driver to stay on the power band. The timeless Giorgetto Giugiaro for Bertone design suits these little Italian jewels perfectly, and the classic Panasport alloy wheels fitted is a perfect match. A great companion for spirited backroad drives or participation in a car rally, this striking 1750 GT Veloce deserves serious consideration.
