1977 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sedan for Sale

Alfa Romeo was one of the first mainstream manufacturers to put a powerful engine in a light-weight 1 tonne four-door car for mass production.

The Type 105 Giulia was equipped with a light alloy twin overhead camshaft four-cylinder engine similar to that of the earlier Giulietta range, available in 1.3-litre (1,290 cc) and 1.6-litre (1,570 cc)

versions. Various configurations of carburetors and tuning produced power outputs from about 80 to about 110 bhp, coupled in most cases to 5-speed manual transmission. Giulia sedans were noted for lively handling and impressive acceleration among small European four-door sedans of their era, especially considering modest engine sizes offered.

The popular Super version with the twin carburettor 1.6 liter engine had a top speed of 170 km/h (106 mph) and accelerated from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in about 12 seconds, better than many sports cars of the late 1960s and early 1970s. The styling of the boxy four-door notchback saloon was somewhat wanting. The engine bay, cabin and boot were all

square shaped, buffered somewhat by details on the grill, roofline, bonnet and boot. Use of a wind tunnel during development led to a very aerodynamic shape that is particularly low for a saloon of the era.

This iconic Giuseppe Scarnati designed Giulia Nuova Super is one of the last of the line; easily noticeable from the black plastic front grill and flat boot lid without the earlier model center spine. This classic Alfa Romeo is finished in Azzurro Le Mans Blue (code AR-348). The exterior and interior are both in amazing condition with little to none blemishes. The light alloy four cylinder in-line unit in this 1300 Nuova Super model features two overhead camshafts and a vertical twin-choke

carburetor. Displacing 1295cc, this engine fires promptly at the turn of the key and delivers quiet yet eager performance.

Connected to this lovely engine you will find a five speed all-synchro gearbox, the only saloon car in its power bracket at the time to feature five forward speeds! Renowned performance for its era from such a modest engine size. Before our Giulia leaves to its new owner, it will receive a service and a full check to make sure that it is in great working order.
