Alfa Romeo Giulia 1300 Ti, 1968, amaranto
Alfa Romeo Giulia is the first is a line of sporty four-door compact executive cars (Type 105) produced from 1962 to 1978. Alfa Romeo was one of the first mainstream manufacturers to put a powerful engine in a light-weight 1 tonne (2,205 lb) 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 (750/101) 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 (55 to 75 kW), 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 litre 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. When leaving the factory all variations of the Giulia originally fitted either Pirelli Cinturato 165HR14 or 155HR15 tyres. 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 produced a drag coefficient of Cd=0.34, particularly low for a saloon of the era.
The Giulia 1300 Ti, Tipo 105.39 was built from 1965 to 1972. It mounted a 1,290 cc engine with single down-draft carburettor for 82 PS (60 kW; 81 hp) at 6000 rpm. Unlike the re-deployed 101-series Giulietta engine of the austerity-model 1300, the 1300 ti motor was a 105 series engine, basically that of the sportier GT1300 Junior coupe with different camshaft timing (but the same camshafts) and induction system. Other features were the five-speed gearbox, a three-spoke bakelite steering wheel with plastic horn push covering the centre and spokes, and the dashboard initially with strip speedo like that of the TI. For 1968, updates included a dashboard based on that of the Super, but with a simpler instrument binnacle, still featuring two large round instruments (speedo and tacho) and a separate fuel gauge, and the same suspension, wheel and tire updates applied to the Giulia Super in the same year. 1970 updates included dual-circuit brakes, centre handbrake, larger external doorhandles and top-hinged pedals (on left hand drive cars only), again as applied to the Super for that year.
According to Alfa Romeo Storico, our car, AR 1069207, left the Factory in Arese, 1970, March 12 to the Italian market, in a nice body colour, Rosso Amaranto with Leather Cuoio Cinghiale interior. Bought new in 1970, only 2 owners from the same Family, with all original Alfa Romeo documents, Giulia Ti Factory Uso e manutenzione duly stamped with all the official service, original Carta de Circolazione, two sets of original Alfa Romeo keys…

All the light units, chrome and stainless steel are original, the interior is also 100% original with the factory rubber floor mats. The first owner ask the Factory for special options to make his car as close as possible to a Giulia Super 1600, double Dell’Orto carburetors, 4 front Carello headlights, Giulia Super Steering wheels and dashboard…, wich made the car very exclusive.
