This Giulietta shows as an excellent older restoration that has aged nicely and remains a wonderful and inviting driver quality example. The body is straight overall and it appears to have been a relatively rust-free example prior to its restoration. There are numerous correct/original spot welds to be found throughout and the nose area and front chassis section show no obvious signs of repair (a common weak spot on these cars). The shut lines and panel gaps are good as well.

The door glass appears to be the original Securit glass. With the windscreen an older VS unit. All panels are flawed however in one form or another. Perfect if the intent is to drive/use, but technically blemished with little pencil point chips and scratching. The brightwork is excellent overall, however, some pieces show minor flaws or fading.

The wheels are correctly restored but have aged nicely with one of the hubcaps slightly loose. Otherwise, everything is present and in good driver quality condition.

Looking closely at the car we can see minor flaws in the form of minor bubbling on the driver ¼ lower wheel arch section, some minor bubbling on the bottom of the trunk lid and near the top as well as some primer shrinkage in the right light. Minor overall and not obvious or worth refinishing if the intent is to enjoy the vehicle by driving rather than showing. There are some cracks in the paint near the rear trunk emblem, tonneau hardware, top of the driver door, and front fender. Minor blemishes can be found in the paint toward the front from use and at the bottom of the wheel arches.

The interior is a very inviting place to be. The special Nardi wheel, issued to participants of the 1996 running of the California Mille, along with the Sparco shift knob gives hint to this car's performance capability. The interior, specifically the seats, are worn in nicely, but present wonderfully with everything complete down to nice brightwork, accessories, and trim. The dash is finished in the correct crinkle coating, all buttons, pulls, knobs, etc… are present and the carpets (though a little faded) door trim and rubber items are all in excellent condition. It should be noted however that the tonneau cover does have a missing piece of hardware and a minor tear on the driver's side. The driver's seat back does have a tear and the seats overall do show some wear/use.

The only item that did not work at the time of testing was the blower motor, which may need simple fiddling as it was likely not used often. Otherwise, everything appears to be in correct working order.

The engine bay to the knowledgeable Alfa enthusiast will be a combination of correct and incorrect. Overall though one can see that this is where this car had the most money spent. The well-built 1750 by Conrad Stevenson is the most obvious incorrect item but the heart of this car's performance. The surrounding area is well restored and correct down to reproduction stickers and correct clamps. Notable modifications include items such as a modern alternator. A smart upgrade. Otherwise, the engine bay shows signs of use but is well serviced overall.

The trunk area is tidy and appears mostly correct again with reproduction stickers. Under the mat shows a solid trunk floor with body stamping.

The underside shows to be straight and serviced with signs of use, some leaks, and flaws but nothing warranting major work to be undertaken. Please reference the photos provided.

The engine starts easily, idles easily even when cold, and is very responsive to throttle input. The car runs at a consistent temperature for both coolant and oil and is very fast. The 1750 changes this car completely and really brings it into a different league. It is very usable and should be considered capable for any task should the new owner want to take it on long-distance journeys and keep up.

The transmission has excellent synchros and works as intended with a strong clutch.

The brakes work as intended and the suspension is firm and slightly lower than stock, a sensible upgrade to match the power plant.

The tires are Vredestein 175/70/HR15 86H’s on all 4 corners, date codes are unknown, but they are crack-free with a nearly new amount of tread and are supple.

The oil temperature gauge works intermittently. The second gear is a little noisy until the car is warm.

This Giulietta Veloce is worlds different from a standard-powered example. The upgraded and well-built 1750 changes the experience completely. This car is meant to run and be run hard which is why it was built in the first place. A very capable and exhilarating example from the golden age of Alfa Romeo.
