Description

✨ Highlights

This 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia GTC 1600 Cabriolet is one of the rarest and most desirable production models in classic Alfa Romeo history. Only around 1,000 examples were built by Touring Superleggera in Milan – an exceptionally low number that still makes the model a true rarity among collectors today. The combination of the lively 1600 cc engine, the original cabriolet body and the elegant lines clearly sets this car apart from other Giulia derivatives. According to the seller, the car offered here is in very good condition and delivers a driving experience that remains true to the spirit of the 1960s.

General information / Model history

The Giulia GTC 1600 was based on the popular Giulia Sprint GT but was further developed as a cabriolet in cooperation with the renowned coachbuilder Touring Superleggera. Alfa Romeo introduced the model in 1964 to meet demand for elegant open grand tourers. The distinctive body was hand-built and technically closely related to the Giulia Sprint GT, yet offered a unique open-top driving experience. Under the bonnet was the classic Alfa twin-cam inline engine with 1,570 cc, which, combined with the 5-speed gearbox, delivered sporty performance and the brand’s typical high-revving character.
According to literature, total production amounted to only around 1,000 vehicles, of which only a portion has survived to this day. As a result, well-preserved and original GTC models are highly sought after by connoisseurs and on the international collectors’ market. The elegant lines, Touring-style soft top and harmonious driving behaviour are particularly appreciated.
