Aperçu

This beautiful and now very rare Giulia 1.6 Super (105.26) Bollino D'Oro was produced in at the Arese Factory in Italy in 1966.  

The specification it left the factory with was as follows -

Top of the range Bollino Oro specification in Biancospino White, with Rosso Skai (red imiation leather) interior .

It was sold to it's lucky first owner, by the Alfa Romeo Dealership in Pescaro, Southern Italy.  I am told the car then remained with it's first owner for more than 20 years.  It then changed hands only twice more prior to my purchase from a well known and respected Italian classic car specialist.

The previous owner put the car through a painstaking, meticulous, but sympathetic full mechanical, body and interior restoration (over a 2 year period between 2020-2022) with a view to preserving the cars originality whilst bringing the Giulia back to as close to how it left the factory in September 1967.  
Having spent all of it's life in the warm and dry Southern Italian climate all of the body panels and chassis remained original and were simply taken back to bare metal (there is absolutely no evidence of welding or filler anywhere on the car).  All of the original factory spot welds can be seen across the length of the sills and each of the inner wheel arches. It was then treated to a high quality repaint in the original Biancospino.  The chassis and engine bay recieved the same treatment and the whole underside was then protected with a clear Dinotrol anti-corrosion wax treatment to ensure the car remains in great shape for another 50+ years.  

Much of the chrome/stainless steel trim is original and in fantastic condition without any pitting, dullness, or damage.

Similarly, the all of the glass and mirrors are original to the car and in excellent condition with the correct markings.

The original engine, gearbox, and differential (matching numbers), were fully rebuilt buy a Alfa Romeo specialist included new pistons and liners, timing chain, main bearings, rod bearings, valves, guides, and a water pump. The cooling system was also flushed at this time and fitted with a refinished radiator - the result being that the car drives, and changes gear flawlessly - just as it would have left the factory. The suspension, brakes, exhaust system were replaced (and upgraded where possible) as part of the restoration.  

The carpets, sound deading, and roof lining material were replaced with brand new items sourced from the well known and respected Elvezio Esposito in Italy - these are exactly the specification and colours as to which the car left the factory.  Suffice the say, the interior is as close to perfect as you could find, whilst keeping all of the original Bollino D'Oro features in place.

When we purchased the vehicle it was exactly the specification which it left the factory in 1966.  However, since being in our possession I have carried out what I class as some choice Alfaholics upgrades to improve drivability/reliability. 


These include the following -

  • Alfaholics Fast Road (Type B Rear/Type C Front) suspension upgrade kit (uprated and slightly lowered springs, Bilstein Sport dampers, uprated front anti-roll bar, drop links, all new poly bushes throughout 

  • New rear axel T-bar poly-bushings and thrust washer polybushings.  Our mechanic did not enjoy these last two bushing replacements as it's a notoriously unpleasant job (and, as a result, one which is ignored in a lot of 105 suspension refreshes) but has a really positive impact on the handling and eliminates much of the rear end waywardness that can develop when the rubber bushings age.  

  • We also fitted 4 new Alfaholics 15" GTA Style alloy wheels with new 185/60/15 Dunlop Sport rubber (dated 01/25).  The wheels are the correct offsets as recommended by Alfaholics to avoid any rubbing of the tyre with the inner/outer fender.

    Other than the above the car remains original/unabused and all modifications are easily reversed (original parts can be supplied with the car) if the new owner wished to do so.

    All of the original parts have been retained (original steel 15" Bollino Oro wheels (professionally refurbished) with very good chrome hubcaps, shod with recent  period correct 155/15 Hancook tyres.

    The interior Veglia clock functions! (I have yet to come across another Giulia with a working one!)

    I have the original owners handbook and some beautiful (perfectly preserved) 1960s Giulia sales brochures that were kept by the first owner - In my opinion, a really lovely thing to have and very difficult to find today.

    I also have a Certificato Di Origine certificate from Alfa Romeo showing the original specification and matching numbers status.

    The car had all fluids (engine, gearbox, and differential) changed in May 2025 with correct grade oils following the post-restoration run-in period.  There are new correct spec oil and air filters included in the sale ready for the new owners next service.
