The Alfa Romeo Giulia GT, which was produced between 1963 and 1975, is considered one of the Milanese manufacturer’s biggest achievements, and it is an iconic vehicle that classic car lovers cherish. Derived from the 1960s Giulia sedan, which was known for its furious four-cylinder DOHC engines and superb handling, the coupé version enhances these sporting qualities with spectacular beauty and class-leading driving dynamics.
Gritty and exceedingly quick in all versions, this car owes much of its popularity to the amazing success of the GTA and GTA m versions created by Autodelta, Alfa Romeo’s racing squad, to compete in the most major international touring car championships.
Classic Throttle Shop proudly presents an Australian-delivered Alfa 105 Coupé that belonged to a keen Alfa Romeo fan who had previously owned numerous of these cars. This coupé is regarded the apex of 4 cylinder 105 vehicles, as it is a genuine Junior model that was intelligently modified with a later Twin-Spark 2-litre engine.
The car is fully compatible with Australian engineering rules for the engine upgrade, and it has been inspected and licensed in its current condition. Rob Manning, the owner of Manning Motors in Brookvale, spent 2002-2003 carefully restoring the car to its original specifications. The exterior was expertly repainted in the factory shade, Giallo Ochre. The interior was additionally upgraded from vinyl to leather, with the proper upholstery pattern, and a period-style Momo Prototipo sports steering wheel was added (together with the original).
The previous owner, who purchased the vehicle in 2010, made various modifications, including installing GTA-style alloy wheels and significantly lowering the suspension. A considerable modification was completed in 2012, with the installation of an Alfa Romeo 75 twin-spark engine. The engine was meticulously rebuilt and dyno-tuned, producing an amazing 185 horsepower via twin Weber 45DCOE carburetors, a 70% improvement over a conventional 1600 Junior. As a result, the car now has improved performance, giving it a more fun sports and cruising vehicle.
Since the improvements, the car has traveled 11,300 kilometers with good dependability and enjoyment. The car includes updated Alfa Romeo running gear and has been meticulously restored throughout, with the engine room, boot, and interior all in excellent condition, as evidenced by the following images and inspection.
The automobile comes with the original handbook and documents proving engine upgrade approvals. It’s an outstanding specimen that retains the iconic Bertone appearance while offering greatly improved performance, making it an attractive choice for discerning enthusiasts.
