Alfa Romeo Giulia 1300 Super Nuova for sale

Current customer rating: current rating for this car(2.1) based on 50 votes

First registered on January 2, 1978, it started out life as a Super Nuova but was modified during restoration with the earlier aerodynamic bonnet, boot lid and stainless-steel grill; it's also fitted with some Alfaholics goodies, including 15” GTA style alloy wheels.

This car's paint finish is deep. It's been beautifully done and polished up as here, black is a difficult colour to beat. Panel fit looks spot on, which is important on a car with so many subtle styling cues. All gutters, sills and panel seams remain supremely clean. 

As mentioned, the less loved later Nouva plastic grill has been removed and its looks backdated for a much more pleasing appearance. Bumpers have also been removed, and these combine with the Alfaholics' GTA-style alloys, to lend it a sportier aesthetic. 

Remaining brightwork is good and all alloys remain unmarked. The latter are shod in Continental EcoContact 6 185/60 R15 rubber with plenty of remaining tread.

It must be said that the interior is a very nice place; you get a full tan leather interior (including door-cards), lovely woodwork and fresh carpets. That sounds like a rather mundane description, because the reality is entirely satisfying. 

There are few better places to be than sat in an Alfa 105, with a three-spoke wooden steering wheel and gearstick (set at a dapper 45 degrees in a deliciously curved centre column) both to hand. Factor in chrome rimmed Veglia Borletti gauges and it's a big thumbs up all round. 

The headlining has a few light stains at some of its outer extremities but they're not too untoward, and it'd be relatively easy for a good trim shop to replace it if the next owner wanted to. 

Pop the boot lid and you'll find it very nicely trimmed inside. Lifting the carpet reveals a matching alloy wheel.

During restoration the brakes, steering, propshaft and suspension were all dealt with, as was the gearbox. The latter benefitted from a full rebuild last year at considerable cost and is particularly nice to use, with no 2nd gear issues evident at all (ropey ones will crunch going in and jump out once there!). 

A quick look underneath is reassuring, as it reveals a solid and well-protected underside and fresh-looking suspension and steering components.

In the history file you'll find a large number of invoices showing the significant amounts that have been spent getting the Alfa to its current superlative state. 

These show that the majority of works were carried out around 2014 and 2015, including: £6899.69 for the body repaint at Blackwood Automotive Repair Ltd, Gwent; £1564 and £862.73 for a variety of parts, including new Alfaholics main bearing, big end and little end bearing, chain links, track rods, brake calipers, piston rings and an engine gasket set. The head was also skimmed during this time. Dennis Vessey & Co of Nort Lincolnshire rebuilt restored the propshaft and replaced the gearbox and engine mountings, as well as fitting a Lumenition ignition system around the same time. In more recent years, Motorcare of Somerset rebuilt the gearbox with new synchros, sleeves and seals with a used Layshaft assembly in May 2020, at a cost of £1051.55 – also fitting a new clutch slave cylinder. Alfaholics 7x15” alloys were sourced at a cost of £1154.40 (including tyres) and new carpets and interior components came from Classic Alfa for (£414.90).
