Want more details on this car?

Before World War II and into the early postwar period, Alfa made relatively small numbers of premium cars with large (by European standards) engines. Even as far back as the 1920s, they were twin-cam units, supercharged in the spicy variants, which dominated on the race track and were among the most desirable road cars in the world. They were the Ferraris of their time.

After the war, however, demand for this type of car was low, especially in Europe where reconstruction and gasoline shortages were the order of the day, rather than exotic high-performance cars. BMW found themselves in a similar predicament, making big expensive cars in small numbers, a problem which they solved by buying the license to manufacture an Italian microcar, the Isetta. Alfa’s solution was different: they designed a car that brought all of the traditional Alfa Romeo virtues to the market in a smaller and much more affordable package, creating a car that saved the company and became a legend. It was the Giulietta. Even the story behind the name is the stuff of legend: apparently a Russian prince visiting the factory noted the presence of many Romeos working, and remarked that there weren’t enough Juliets, and so the new small car was called Gulietta to provide some gender balance at the Alfa Romeo factory.

The centerpiece of the Giulietta was an all-new 1300cc twin-cam inline-4 designed by Giuseppe Busso. The engine was absolutely bleeding edge for the time: in addition to having dual overhead cams, it featured all-alloy construction, hemispherical combustion chambers, and a forged crankshaft. Its production lasted from 1954 to 1994, a testament to the sophistication and inherent goodness of the design.

It’s hard to overstate the impact of the Giulietta. It was a shocking breath of fresh air. While British sports cars looked like overgrown bicycles and drove like tractors, and Porsches were barely beyond the VW Beetle stage, the Alfa Romeo was new and exotic, both aesthetically and technically. Two door variants got gorgeous Bertone or Pininfarina styling and the cars were just the right size and price for the glamor-hungry but still war-ravaged European market, while also being ideally suited to the emerging American craze for European sports cars. And all this presented with the charming Dolce Vita romance that brought a slice of Italy wherever a Giulietta appeared.

A displacement increase to 1600cc resulted in a name change to Giulia for 1962, by which time the car’s replacement was being readied, the Giulia GT. As with its predecessor, the closed version was styled by Bertone, specifically Giorgetto Giugiaro. It looked modern but not fussy, while under the skin, it was also exciting, with the now familiar twin-cam engine, plus 5-speed transmission and disc brakes all around, a set of features which neither Ferrari nor Porsche could match when the Giulia GT appeared in 1963.

Over the course of its production, the Giulia (later known as GTV) evolved, and like many European sports cars in the late 60s and early 70s, lost their charm as they did so. The delicate two headlight front end coupled with the stepped hoodline both disappeared from the larger displacement models as time progressed, while larger rear light assemblies appeared in the name of safety as did fender mounted reflectors on US models. Inside the car, the simplicity of the appointments gave way to a more complex and plasticky interior design and bulkier seats and so the early cars are the most desired by collectors and enthusiasts today.

This particular car is a “step nose” example which has received restoration work and upgrades  by the highly-respected Alfa Romeo specialist Dorian Valenzuela in 2019. His shop, DV-Mechanics, is famous for their carefully considered builds, no doubt influenced by Dorian’s previous position at Singer as a Production Engineer. The car has GTA cosmetic upgrades including modified nose panel, rear valence, license plate lamp plinth, and doors with GTA door handles, while the GTA theme continues inside with GTA style door pulls, a Hellebore steering wheel, fiberglass dashboard, Autodelta roll bar, and GT Veloce seats. During the restoration, the dashboard upholstery, headliner, carpets, and seatbelts were also replaced. The gauges were also rebuilt. When the respray was performed, the brightwork was polished, the body seals replaced, and new headlamps were also fitted.

The car is powered by a 1750 engine with twin Weber carburetors and new tubular headers. An aluminum radiator was also installed. The chassis was upgraded with GTA style wheels, lowering springs, upgraded front sway bar, lightweight front spring pans, rear shock turret extenders, lightweight rear trailing arms with heavy duty bushings.

Since 2024, the car has received considerable sorting and improvement, including minor paint touch up, wet sanding, paint correction, ceramic coating, polishing the glass, detailing the brakes and wheel hubs, fitting black powder coated lug nuts for a more finished look, detailing the trunk, adding dynamat to the rear firewall to reduce noise intrusion from the trunk and rear end, powder coating the seat rails and sliders, upgrading the seat and seatbelt hardware, repainting the parking brake handle, adding provisions for 12v charging, adding a sump protection plate. Even cupholders were discreetly added.

The car shows obvious pride of ownership and has the ideal stepnose setup, with just the right cosmetic and mechanical upgrades, all performed by a highly-respected shop. The car displays excellent attention to detail, and is an excellent example, both cosmetically and in terms of driving experience.
