The Appeal

Alfa Romeo is known for two things; distinctive Italian designs and being real drivers cars, this Giulia delivers on both.
Imported from Italy by the current owner it has been comprehensively restored to an exacting standard and as such it presents exceptionally well. Fully stripped down and resprayed in the original Cobalt Blue by SH Bodyworks, it is a fantastic looking example of this gorgeous Italian classic.
But it’s not just the outside that has received attention, fully retrimmed inside with wild boar hide leatherette to match the original finish, it looks as good inside as it does on the outside. T

he owner has also undertaken extensive mechanical restoration with a huge number of parts being replaced as well as fitting a 2000cc Alfa Romeo engine to really make this car something special.
Alfa’s have quite the passionate owners community and when drive one like this you can see why. A fantastic example of a classic Alfa Romeo in exceptional condition, this is one not to be missed.

The History and Paperwork

  • V5 Present and correct
  • Tax and MOT exempt
  • An invoice from Autolusso dated 2019 for a full strip down and rebuild of the new engine with all new seals and gaskets throughout, new oil and water pumps, timing chains, clutch and carburettor rebuild as well as numerous other components
  • An invoice from SH Bodyworks for a full respray in Cobalt Blue along with new door sills, new floor pans, new windscreen and seals, new fuel tank and other parts

The Interior

  • Fantastic condition throughout
  • Fully retrimmed in wild boar hide leatherette to match the original specification
  • Seats show almost no signs of wear
  • Carpets, headlining, dashboard and trim all present very well
  • Aftermarket stereo styled to match the car with Bluetooth 
Sliding down onto the soft seat behind the three spoke steering wheel you can instantly feel why people love these Alfa’s. The interior is classic 60’s Italian design, from the colours to the shape of the dashboard. If you're looking for the classic Italian experience it doesn’t get much better than this.
All of the seats have been retrimmed in wild boar hide leatherette as per the original car specification and are in excellent condition showing almost no signs of wear. 

The headlining is in similarly good condition with no sagging or peeling. The carpets are all also in excellent condition along with the trim, dashboard and dials. 

There is some slight patina visible on some of the interior chrome trim, however we think this adds to the overall aesthetics of the interior rather than detracting from it.
The only non-original specification part that we could see was an aftermarket stereo with bluetooth and USB support, however the owner has wisely found one that matches the aesthetic of the interior and at a glance we think it would pass as original equipment.
Given the fantastic Italian styling and the exceptionally high standard with which the interior has been finished, we think that this Giulia offers everything you could want in a European classic.

The Exterior

  • Classic 60’s Italian styling
  • Excellent condition throughout
  • Resprayed to a very high standard in the original Cobalt Blue
  • Cromodora magnesium wheels present excellently
  • All of the trim, light lenses and brightwork presents very well
Alfa Romeo’s are known for their good looks and this Giuliatta certainly doesn’t disappoint, looking as good today as when it was first designed the Italian styling is simply gorgeous. 

From the distinctive front grille to the magnesium wheels this car is everything a 60’s classic should be.
As with the interior the exterior of this car presents beautifully. It’s in fantastic condition and looks particularly good in Cobalt Blue. 

All of the magnesium Cromodora wheels present very well along with the brightwork, trim, lights and windows. All of the original badges are present and the paintwork is in excellent condition.

As with the rest of the car the mechanical aspects of this Giulia have been extensively restored. With a replacement 2000cc engine fully rebuilt with lots of new components (as detailed in the “paperwork” section above) by Alfa Romeo specialists Autolusso it offers a fantastic driving experience. 

The engine, engine bay and undersides all present excellently and it’s clear that this has been a no expense spared restoration. 
The car starts easily with a turn of the key, idles smoothly with no unwanted noises and sounds absolutely fantastic. As you would expect with this much work having been carried out, the owner reports that it drives perfectly, accelerating very well, turning in easily and braking in a straight line.

About Max Bids

The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.

Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.

Anti-sniping

Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.

Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.

Auto-bidding increments

  • If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
  • If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
    • Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
    • We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Bid Amount Increment
£0 to £9,999 £100.00
£10,000 to £49,999 £250.00
£50,000 to £99,999 £500.00
£100,000 + £1,000.00

Automatically outbid immediately

When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.

You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.

Matching max bids

When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.

Pre-authorisation

We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.

What are pre-bids?

A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.

Problem with your bid

Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
