AR10526* 75992 - 70.189 km on the speedometer - Bodywork colour White Spino - Interior in black preserved Skai - Matching Number and Matching Color - Series called 'Biscione' - Alfa Romeo Certification - 70,189 km on the speedometer - Bodywork colour Bianco Spino - Black Skai interior preserved - Matching Number and Matching Colour - Biscione series - Alfa Romeo Certification In the 1960s Alfa Romeo realised that its flagship car, the Giulietta, had become obsolete and no longer represented the great period of economic growth that the country was experiencing. And so in 1962 the Giulia was presented at the Monza circuit. A sporty car with a strong personality that Alfa Romeo advertised as 'designed by the wind'. The lines of the car were unconventional for the tastes of the time, as they followed the aerodynamic studies that resulted in a low nose, internal headlights smaller than the side ones, a rib that accompanied the flow of air from the front to the tail and a high and truncated rear. It was equipped with a 1600 engine, totally built in aluminium, which allowed to exceed 170 km/h. The 5-speed gearbox was a novelty for a mass-produced car, as until then it was only used on the sportier versions. In 1965 the 1600 TI was joined by the Giulia Super known as Bollo Oro until 1969 and Biscione from 1969 to 1972, because of the two distinctive friezes applied to the rear pillars. The latter is the most successful, appreciated and sought after by collectors. The Super had a more refined finish (a wood-panelled dashboard, circular instrumentation, redesigned seats, chrome under door profile, various rear friezes, enamelled badges on the rear pillars) and an engine that, thanks to the adoption of two horizontal twin-body carburettors (Weber 40 DCOE4 or Solex 40 PHH/2, both with 27" venturi), delivered 98 DIN hp (112 SAE). The new bridge ratio of 9/41 allowed it to reach 177.154 km/h in the Quattroruote road test, a speed slightly higher than the previous Ti, but reached at a lower rpm, with an improvement in comfort and consumption. The magnificent example offered by us at auction was registered for the first time in 1969, it is one of the very few examples to bear the name 'Biscione', it is the most sought-after and appreciated model by Alfa Romeo enthusiasts. In fact, the car has all the splendid features of this version, the rear friezes applied to the pillars, the circular instrumentation, the wood-panelled dashboard and the redesigned seats. The bodywork is a stunning original Bianco Spino colour, the interior is in original and preserved black skai. The car has been repainted on the outside of the body, its interior is original series (not redone), the engine has been completely overhauled in all elements, both electrical and mechanical. To embellish the whole car mounts four beautiful sport rims Cromodora. This car is part of a beautiful collection of Alfa Romeos belonging to an Italian gentleman who over the years has taken excellent care of all aspects of the preservation of his cars. The car is equipped with its original plates, all its original documentation and is also equipped with the certificate of origin issued by Alfa Romeo. The car will be auctioned at Milano AutoClassica 2021 in impeccable condition.
