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.

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.
