The Appeal
Many will remember it as the police car that gave those Mini Coopers a run for their money in 'The Italian Job'. The 105 Series Alfa Romeo Giulia is one of the most celebrated sporting saloons of the 1960s. Its sweet twin-cam engine, nimble handling, and lightweight construction have made it a natural choice for historic motorsport, where it remains a competitive and rewarding car to race.
This right-hand drive 1966 example comes ready to compete, with an FIA historic technical passport for hillclimb and racing, as well as Scottish Classic Sports and Saloon Championship registration. It carries notable provenance, having been campaigned by Geoff Breakwell in road rallying and Julius Thurgood in circuit racing, and has been maintained by Westbourne Motorsport. The car has achieved podium finishes across various historic championships, demonstrating that it is a competitive machine.
Over £37,500 has been invested since 2015, with invoices available to support this. Originally converted from rally specification to a historic race car in 2010, the vendor describes it as "a great solid little car" and a cost-effective entry point into historic racing. For anyone seeking a proven, race-ready Giulia with strong provenance and up-to-date paperwork, this is well worth a closer look.image.png1.49 MB
