Alfa Romeo Giulia 1300 Ti Sensibly Upgraded Long MOT TAXED Needs some TLC

 
Over the last 10 years the following work has been done: –

Engine changed to a 1600 unit with twin DHLA Dellortos. Harvey-Bailey suspension upgrade fitted (lowered and stiffened springs. Bilstein gas dampers. thicker front anti-roll bar). poly bushes where recommended by EB Spares. new Bendix brake servo. new brake master cylinder. new distributor. new radiator hoses. reconditioned calipers all round with Speedbleeders. propshaft centre mount. single box exhaust. new door seal rubbers. This month new carb mounts were fitted

The carbs breath through Pipercross filters and together with the exhaust sounds great. has good oil pressure and does not overheat in traffic.   The brakes are superb and the gearbox is very smooth.

There are currently Stil-Auto (Chromodora) alloys fitted with 185/65-14 Yokohama C-drive tyres.   I also have the original steel wheels with virtually new tyres fitted which can come with the deal.  

Please note the wooden steering wheel is not included and will be replaced with the original black one prior to sale.

Bodywork – this is clearly not a pristine example! Multiple variations on the maroon theme are evident along with areas of original patina. Over the last 10 years it has not required any welding for MOT but has been welded in the past in areas such as passenger footwell. small patch on front crossmember. rear wheel arch internal surface. underneath rear seat at offside corner. I think the sills have also been replaced. The door frames are good but a couple of the door skins have been filled at the bottom. When I got it I treated the arches with Hammerite/Waxoyl and the inner wings remain perfect. Also the sills are full of Waxoyl as are the front crossmember and box sections. There is some filler around the front lights but again with regular treatment they have remained looking OK. The boot floor at the back left corner also looks to have been filled at some stage. Front door hinge pins require replacement. The boot and bonnet are superb.

Generally the interior is quite good although there are no carpets. The driver's seat base vinyl is very poor.   The headlining is stained and has come loose at the back left corner.

Overall a car that drives really well and has been hurled around Knockhill on trackdays with no dramas at all. Very useable and could easily be maintained as an honest classic.  

I will be sad to see her go as she is great fun and has the potential to be made into a very smart example of one of these superb cars.

She can be viewed in Grassington or Ilkley; not far from Leeds.
