Background

Introduced in 1962 and outwardly almost indistinguishable from the preceding 1.3-litre Giulietta, the Giulia boasted a more powerful and much less fussy 1,570cc engine in addition to welcome improvements to the previously feeble heating arrangements.

The ‘TI’ name referred to a class of Italian saloon car racing known as ‘Turismo Internazionale’, and had previously been applied to higher-performance versions of 1950’s saloons.

Despite their boxy, unitary construction body, the Giulietta and Giulia were paragons of aerodynamic efficiency and possessed a distinctly sporting nature, the 92bhp produced by its classic, twin-cam, four-cylinder engine making the 1,570cc Giulia TI a genuine 160km/h car.

The Giulia 1300 ti (for some reason, Alfa decided to use lower-case letters for this version) was built from 1965 to 1972. It mounted a 1,290cc engine with single down-draft carburettor for 82 PS (60 kW) at 6000 rpm.

Overview

This 1966 LHD manual Alfa Romeo Giulia 1300 ti seems to us to be in very fine overall condition and presents extremely well from every angle.

It has clearly been restored - outside, inside and underneath - to a high standard in the fairly recent past and is, we think, a fine example of both the model and the marque.

The odometer reads 62,074 kms.

The car has received a lot of work throughout its current ownership with more than €20,000 of invoices on file.

Exterior

The white paintwork looks very good overall.

The bodywork is free of any dinks, dents or creases of any significance that we can see and the finish retains an impressive depth of shine.

The panel gaps and shut lines are consistent and even, with the partial exception of the driver’s door, which doesn’t seem to close entirely flush with the bodywork at its base.

There is a stone chip above the headlamp on the driver’s side.

There is a small spot of bubbling and blistering on the rear passenger door.

The paint on the sills is roughly textured but perhaps no more than it should be.

The lights, lenses and badging all seem to be in good order.

The wheels look fine as does the chrome work throughout.

Interior

The interior of the car looks very classy, warm and inviting.

The chestnut-coloured upholstery is in excellent condition and is untroubled by any creases, cracks or other flaws that we can see.

The door cards are good.

The headlining is stained, particularly at the rear.

The carpets and mats are a little worn in the front footwells but are otherwise in reasonable condition.

There are a couple of scuffs and nicks on the dashboard and what looks like glue residue and/or rust dust at the base of the dashboard on the driver’s side.

The steering wheel and gear lever are in very good order.

As far as we’re aware, all dials, switches, knobs, levers and instruments do what they’re supposed to do.

Mechanical

Aside from a couple of spots of what seems to be entirely superficial rust dust, the undersides of the car appear to have a good deal of structural integrity.

The engine and engine bay are clean, dry and very fresh-looking. Everything appears to be in its right and proper place.

With more than €20,000 of work received in 2018, the car is presented for sale in a beautiful condition and is ready to be used by its new owner.

We're happy to say that this example might well be one of the best one available !

History

The car has been regularly serviced and mechanically restored by Alfa Romeo Specialist Atelier Autodelta in Belgium to a very high standard.

There is no history or documentation beyond what is shown in the gallery section.The car comes with a Belgian registration.

Summary

This car has clearly been cared for and maintained to a high standard over the years and has been the subject of a comprehensive restoration in recent years.

We confidently offer this excellent car for auction with an estimate of between €20,000 - €30,000.
