Designed by Giuseppe Scarnati, the 105-series Alfa Romeo Giulia was way ahead of its time, with features many other manufacturers only managed to match many years later. The TI (Turismo Internationale) was the firm’s flagship high-performance saloon of the period. Despite their boxy, unitary construction body, the Giulia was a paragons of aerodynamic efficiency, with a distinctly sporting nature. The basis was a punchy 91bhp 1600cc twin-cam engine, mated to a five-speed gearbox, (from late 1963) front and rear Dunlop disc brakes, and a sweet handling rear-wheel-drive chassis. Into the 1970s the model range was renamed Nuova Super, running through to 1977.

A veteran of historic racing in recent years, this well prepared racing Ti was originally sourced from the dry climate of Cyprus, being officially imported into the UK in 2014. Upon arrival, the Alfa-Romeo was dismantled, restored as required and prepared for historic racing.

The preparation included the fitting of a fully rebuilt Nord race engine by Bob Dove Motorsport (the acknowledged 'guru' of racing Alfas), featuring a strengthened bottom end, race pistons, oil cooler, twin 45 DCOE Webers, a fully rebuilt five speed gearbox (with close ratios to 4th and 5th), also a rebuilt limited slip differential. The bodywork was modified with a fibreglass quick release lift-off bonnet, fibreglass boot lid, drilled and lightened doors, perspex side and rear windows, additionally a 6-point rollcage with cross bracing and side bars. 

The uprated, lowered and adjustable suspension features quick steering arms, GTA adjustable top links, Bilsteins/Koni shock absorbers, competition front anti-roll bar, lower/stiffer front springs, a rev limiter and modified gauges, uprated larger front brake calipers, Ferrodo racing pads front and rear, a large capacity aluminium radiator with electric fan, fully plumbed-in OMP fire extinguisher system (serviced in 2024 and certified to 2026), and a new 6 point harness (valid to 2029). Also included are two sets of alloy wheels (one set with Toyo R888R semi slicks, the other with Toyo Proxes fast road/wet tyres).

A hugely enjoyable and reliable (not a single DNF!) race car over the last 6 years of historic circuit racing, the Giulia is offered with an HSCC Vif to run in the Historic Touring Cars series Group B class. In current ownership the car has competed mostly in the HRDC Classic Alfa Romeo/Allstars series, running with a 2 litre engine, but is also welcomed in CMMC, CSCC and other historic race series.

A forgiving and predictable car to drive, the Alfa-Romeo would suit novices or experienced drivers alike, or alternatively can be enjoyed on the road as is without modification. Last raced at Silverstone in October 2024, the Guilia Ti is only being offered due to the owner’s retirement from racing after 8 seasons of competitive and enjoyable driving.
