This 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT Veloce is a popular Italian sports car, which has been tastefully modified as a tribute to the Giulia Sprint GTA. It is powered by a modified 2.0-litre twin-cam inline-four, driving the rear wheels through a five-speed close-ratio manual transmission. The car was owned for approximately 30 years by a well-known ‘Alfista’ associated with the former Alfa Romeo distributor, MW Motors Pty Ltd, in Melbourne. The odometer shows 24,292 km, though the correct total mileage is not known. Build year: 1965 The Bertone bodywork of this GTA Tribute is finished in Bluette, over a tan leatherette interior with fabric seat panels. It rides on a set of 14-inch GTA-style Performance magnesium wheels, wrapped in Yokohama Advan A050 tyres. The cabin features a three-spoke Momo Prototipo steering wheel, Veglia dials, a Pioneer stereo, updated inertia reel seatbelts, and heating and ventilation controls. The 2.0-litre twin-cam inline-four features lightened high compression pistons and rings, polished and balanced ports, twin 40DCOE Weber carburettors, a modified inlet camshaft, larger valves, a gas-flowed head, a modified crankshaft, balanced conrods, a high-flow oil pump, an upgraded Alfetta-style air filter, a baffled sump, a lightened and balanced flywheel, a heavy-duty clutch, an upgraded radiator, a four-two-one exhaust manifold, an electronic ignition, and an electric fuel pump. Other modifications include Koni shock absorbers, a later-model close-ratio gearbox, a new sealed AGM battery, upgraded brake calipers, lowered suspension, a rear anti-sway bar, a battery master switch, and a lightweight rear screen. Accompanying the vehicle will be a certificate of origin from the Alfa Romeo museum, a battery charger, a set of lap belts and ashtrays, and an invoice from Classic Alfa. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Around AU$20,000 has been spent on maintenance over the last three years, and the car has been driven sparingly in that time. All work was undertaken by a specialist Alfa Romeo mechanic based in South Australia, and any new parts which were not readily available were sourced from Classic Alfa in the UK. Work undertaken over the last three years has included replacement of the ignition switch, door locking mechanisms, water pump, radiator hoses, lower ball joints and boots, suspension bushes, tie rod ends, drop links, rear axle straps, front shock absorbers, stainless steel exhaust and muffler, brake light pressure switch, alternator, carpets, seatbelts and aerial. The tail shaft, brake master cylinder, heating system, front seat mountings/mechanisms, window winder mechanisms including rubbers and felts, and windscreen washer/foot pump have also been recently overhauled. This Alfa Romeo is an eye-catching Giulia Sprint GTA tribute, with various high-performance modifications to the engine, suspension, and gearbox. It would make a stylish addition to a collection, as well as an entertaining weekend companion.
