The Appeal

The Alfa Romeo Giulia was one of the original fast saloons; a car that combined practicality and performance, wrapped up in an affordable package. Unsurprisingly, the Giulia sold very well, and was also favoured by the Italian police force.

This matching numbers 1971 example was supplied new to Italy and has since been imported to France. Following a respray in its original Bordeaux, it's a very presentable example which looks to be in superb and highly original throughout. We're assured that the Alfa drives exceedingly well and is ready to enjoy.
