Description:

Probably invented the term VW GTI and it struck solid concept, but their car came at least 15 years of Alfa Romeo. Since Giulia'en was presented as the successor to the popular Giulietta in 1962 was for its time a bilteknisk titbit. It is the epitome of everything that we in the last 30 years has been understood by a GTI car. A compact family car with extra-powerful engine, efficient braking and not least the excellent driving characteristics. Everything packed in a discreet appearance, as you must know to know that here is a car that can give owners of pure sports cars sweat.

Mechanical Alfa Romeo chose to build on the well-functioning platform that was started with Giulietta'en already in 1953, but in almost all areas had improved the design. 5-speed gearbox was now standard, was reinforced rear axle and rear suspension equally. Disc brakes all round was standard, as it was at the last Giulietta.

The early models gave 92 bhp, but the grant of 1600 the engine grew steadily throughout the model period to 112 hp. (89 hp in 1300 version as here). Compared to contemporary cars in the class were Giulia'en a sports car in the family dress - just compare with a Ford Anglia, Opel Kadett and VW 1300th Besides that it was technically sophisticated, Alpha had the first of a series model made use of a wind tunnel in the development of the body. Immediately you would ikkke believe that the angular bodywork was particularly wind smoothly, but in fact the car has a cw coefficient of just 0.32 - the same as a Porsche 911 or the much licked and 25 years later Audi 80th Not many cars in the early '60s was just near that level and it could be seen at top speed - 180 km / h was 45 years ago, even very quickly for a family car with a relatively small engine size.

Giulia'en quickly became the preferred model for the Polizia and Carabinieri, and criminals were up very fast cars to run away (but managed a team of crazy Englishmen to run from them in 3 Mini Coopers in the cult movie 'The Italian Job') . Giulia'en stood at the top of wish list of the young successful leader and could bring him and his family with full holiday luggage from large cities, along autostradaen the bathing areas of Lido di Jesolo and Forte Dei Marmi - with 160 km hours all the way!

By returning to Denmark were the original chassis paint works. factory. untouched, or rather, very dry. . Before it was compulsory undercarriage treatment, all the casings taken from the doors to find a small collection of dry olive leaves in each dørkammer. After thorough vacuuming and cleaning with wire brush could be sent to the car underbody treatment.
