The Appeal
Most Giulias may only have had 1300cc twin cam engines, but that was all they needed. Agile chassis, light weight and, naturally, spirited drivers whether patriarchs or polizei, made these unassuming three-box saloons utterly brilliant four door sports cars.
Imagine, then, how good a Giulia would be with a 2L version of that classic ‘Nord’ motor? Imagine no more, because here we have exactly that. The car was built some years ago for the previous keeper as a fast road car with blueprinted engine, differential and gearbox. It was refinished in the rare and stand-out colour of French Blue. The cream vinyl interior is reported to be original.
This Giulia’s appeal lies in that elevated specification, its RHD configuration and and its very good condition. Whether you decide to keep it as a sleeper with its steels and ‘1.3 Super’ badges or lean into something more purposeful and competitive, the choice is yours.
