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 it 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
