Description

Work on the Giulia began in the late 1950s, a period of rapid economic expansion in Italy during which Alfa's Giulietta had become a coveted symbol of renewed economic prosperity for thousands of small and medium-sized entrepreneurs.

With a seemingly insatiable demand for cars and a rapidly improving standard of living, the Giulia was designed to go 'beyond' the Giulietta in every respect: bigger, more powerful and, of course, faster.

The all-aluminium twin-camshaft four-cylinder engine was increased from 1290 cm3 to 1570 cm3 and, fitted with a Solex carburettor with 32 mm twin choke, produced 92 bhp at 6000 rpm.

Power was transmitted to the rear wheels via an all-new five-speed manual gearbox, a highly unusual feature for a family saloon at the time.

As disc brakes were still a novelty in the early 1960s, Alfa Romeo engineers retained drum brakes for the first Giulias until 1964, when all production finally switched to the four-disc brakes that the model deserved.

While the basic engineering of the Giulia can be seen as a gradual improvement on the Giulietta it replaced, its exterior design was a genuine revolution, the result of pioneering aerodynamic wind tunnel research carried out at Turin Polytechnic.

It should be pointed out, however, that the Cx figure of 0.34 often quoted for the Giulia Berlina is in fact an error, the real figure being around 0.43 according to a 2007 interview with former Alfa Romeo engineer Domenico Chirico.

Although it makes things a little less impressive, that 0.43 figure still placed the Giulia among the most aerodynamically efficient production cars available at the time, beaten only by certain Citroën and Porsche models.

Such a radical design caused some concern even within Alfa's management, but there was no need to worry, as the Giulia 1600 Ti was quickly adopted by the market.

The model presented here is a very first version, equipped with steering wheel gear change and the 1st generation dashboard. Originally from Italy, the car was restored in the 2000s in Austria by its previous owner before being acquired in 2010 by its current owner.

The interior is in excellent condition, the exterior paintwork is still in very good condition and the mechanics have been perfectly maintained. The chassis and underbody are also in perfect condition, with no trace of corrosion.

The engine is no longer the original Solex single carburettor, but has been replaced by a more recent generation 1600 engine, probably during the restoration. This more powerful engine is fitted with two Dellorto carburettors, giving the car a significant performance boost!
