Description
The first of Alfa Romeo’s much-loved, Bertone-styled Coupes – the 1.6-litre Giulia Sprint GT – was launched in 1963. Mechanically, the stylish new 2+2 was much the same as the Giulia TI Sports Saloon, featuring a five-speed manual gearbox, independent front suspension, coil-spring live rear axle and disc brakes all around. A 1300 model, the GT Junior, arrived in 1966, and the range was further extended the following year by the launch of the 1750 GTV, which was powered by a 1,799cc, 118bhp version of Alfa’s classic twin-cam four housed in a four-headlamp version of the existing bodyshell and running on 14” (down from 15”) wheels. Driver’s cars par excellence in true Alfa Romeo tradition, Bertone’s timelessly elegant Giulia-based coupes are among the most exciting sports models of the ‘60s and ‘70s and today all versions are highly sought after.
