The Appeal
If you're in search of pure driving pleasure, you can't do much better than a 105 Series Alfa Romeo. It may only have four cylinders, but they're arranged into one of the sweetest, most tractable twin-cam engines ever made. Driving the rear wheels through a five-speed manual gearbox, it's an utter delight to be behind the wheel. Throw in the fact that the Bertone-bodied coupés are also some of the very best-looking cars ever made, and you've got yourself one seriously fins package.
This particular example stands out for its rare and original Dutch Blue (Blu Olandese) colour, confirmed by its Alfa Romeo FCA Certificate of Origin. Having undergone a complete body restoration, this 1972 Giulia GT Veloce presents an opportunity to own a meticulously maintained piece of Italian motoring heritage.
