1973 Alfa Romeo Giulia
The first of the legendary ‘105 Series’ Alfa Romeos, the Giulia saloon (A Maple House Classics favourite!), landed in 1962 and remained in production until 1977 - Don’t let the boxy design fool you, it boasted a drag co-efficient of 0.34cd and outperformed many sports cars of the era with the famous ‘Nord’ twin cam engine. Previously in the shadow of the coupe, the saloon is now gaining serious attention and is fast becoming the favourite of many 105 connoisseurs and collectors.
This particular 1973 ‘Super 1.6’ is an extremely rare, UK Market RHD car - Originally ‘Blu Olandese’ from the factory, it was used in the BBC series of ‘Life on Mars’. It then underwent an extensive restoration in 2012 where the colour was changed to ‘BiancoSpino’. Following this, the car then enjoyed attention in print, where it featured in the magazine ‘Classic Cars’. Presented in exceptional condition, with many improvements made and with one of the most impressively curated history files that we’ve seen, it’s a brilliant opportunity for someone looking for a rare right hand drive 105 Giulia saloon that’s ready to be enjoyed.
Exterior
The ‘BiancoSpino’ paintwork presents extremely well, having been completely ‘soda blasted’ and repainted in the UK throughout it’s restoration in 2012. The steel wheels also present well in their standard ‘off white’ colour, with only a few blemishes. Headlights are clear and glass is all without marks. Inner headlights have been replaced with mesh to aid engine airflow and lower weight, but inner headlights are present and come with the vehicle.
