Well, we promised a Giulia, but this isn't the Giulia that we promised.  We'll get a modern Giulia up on the site later this week, but for now, check out this surprisingly clean 105 series Giulia 1300 Ti, and let us know how we do in describing the details on this thing - 60s Alfa experts, we are not.

The Tipo 105.39 Giulia 1300 Ti shared chassis and suspension mechanical bits with the sportier Super, but differed in engine selection.  The 1300 Ti Giulias featured the 1,290cc single down-draft Solex carburetorater engine of the 105 series 1300GT Junior, vs. the more basic 101 series-derived lump in the plain Giulia 1300.  Being a later car, it has circular gauges, but lacks the binnacles of the Super models.  For better or worse, it lacks the dual-circuit brakes of the 1970+ models, but maintains four wheel disc brakes.  The Turismo Internationale represents a sporty medium in the Giulia range.

The condition of the car is rather remarkable.  We would be sure to ascertain that the mileage listed is actual.  We would also seek out all of the relevant details required to consider a car of this ilk, as the listing is entirely devoid of detail.  Is the car restored?  Is there rust?  It sure appears that either the car was restored, or it is an incredible survivor - and at $22,500, we'd wager that the former scenario is more probable.

Were we not in the middle of some space-consuming garage activities, we'd have a tough time turning this example down.  Mark us down as fans of the light blue color and single headlights.  We're also keen on the simpler single-circuit brakes, and four-wheel discs.  Would a 1600 Super be preferable?  Sure, but we'll take top condition over top spec any day.  And, this car sure seems to deliver on condition.
