Description
This 1965 RHD Alfa Romeo Giulia Ti with only 55, 000 miles & 2 previous owners was a barn-find, discovered in an Oxfordshire barn about 8 years ago. We (Ian Ellis Classic Alfas) have sympathetically restored it, including a colour change from verde muschio to grigio grafite (graphite grey) - a superb combination with the tan original, much of which is original. The 1600 twin-cam engine was completely rebuilt including new pistons & liners, bearings, chains, valves & guides. The single Solex carb has been replaced by a single Weber. The suspension & Dunlop braking system have been thoroughly overhauled, the original 15" rims refurbished & new Vredestein tyres fitted in the correct period size of 155 x 15". New door & boot seals fitted. The bumpers, being chrome on this early car were re-chromed at great expense by ACF Howell & look amazing! A near-new grille was sourced from Italy & NOS Carello indicator spears fitted to the front wings. A bespoke set of grey carpets has been fitted, incorporating the original style rubber heel mats. Being a 1965 car, no seat belts were ever fitted to the car.
Only a handful of these first series Giulia saloons still exist in the UK (probably no more than 5 - I've only seen 1 other!) - Alfa aficionados know that the Giulia saloons are the best driving cars of the 105 range...
