1967 Alfa Romeo Giulia 1.6 GT Veloce
1967 Alfa Romeo Giulia 1.6 GT Veloce
The 1967 Alfa Romeo Giulia GT Veloce represents the pinnacle of 1960s Italian sporting elegance and engineering. Designed by a young Giorgetto Giugiaro during his tenure at Bertone, the sleek “step-front” coupe body combines crisp lines with balanced proportions, making it one of the most enduring designs of its era. The GT Veloce variant benefits from Alfa Romeo's advanced twin-cam inline four-cylinder engine, featuring all-alloy construction and twin carburettors, delivering lively performance and a distinctive exhaust note. Power is transmitted through a five-speed manual gearbox—an advanced specification for the period—providing an engaging and responsive driving experience. Four-wheel disc brakes and well-sorted suspension further enhance its reputation as a driver-focused grand tourer. Inside, the cabin reflects classic Italian sporting character, with a driver-oriented layout, clear instrumentation, and understated trim. The combination of practicality and performance made the Giulia GT Veloce equally suited to spirited driving and long-distance touring.
This matching numbers Alfa Romeo, originally from Italy (now UK registered), is presented in dark Verde Muschio and has benefitted from a series of carefully considered upgrades and enhancements, aimed at improving both performance and usability while retaining its classic character. The car is fitted with a set of Alfaholics GTA wheels, stainless steel exhaust, complemented by an Alfaholics fast road suspension set-up, providing improved handling and road manners. An Alfaholics exhaust system has also been installed, enhancing both performance and engine note. The engine has been upgraded with a higher-lift camshaft and it is believed that the valves have been hardened to accommodate unleaded fuel. A battery cut-off switch has been professionally installed in the engine bay, operated via a removable red key. (Attention should be drawn to a courtesy light located beneath the dashboard, which is difficult to see in daylight; as it is hard-wired, it can drain the battery if inadvertently left on, even when the ignition is switched off). Inside the cabin, the radio has been refurbished by a specialist, believed to be based in Manchester. Additionally, a switch for the electric aerial is located beneath the left-hand side of the dashboard and the interior was re-upholstered in Cuoio leather by the renowned specialist O' Rourkes who are known for their work on Ferrari 250 and 275s respectively.
Overall, this example presents as a well-maintained and thoughtfully upgraded Alfa Romeo, offering an engaging driving experience with subtle, period-sensitive enhancements. Today, the model is widely regarded as one of Alfa Romeo's most collectible post-war cars, prized for its competition pedigree, timeless styling and rewarding dynamics. A cornerstone of any serious collection, it continues to offer a pure and authentic classic driving experience. Consigned by James Good
