Show me a genuine car enthusiast who says bad things about old Alfas and I’ll show you a charlatan (not that this is really an ‘old’ Alfa… just looks like one…)

WOW thanks again to all of you: to Hagerty, for allowing such a perfect piece of commuinication art; to the Banks brothers, for allowing the existence of such a perfect piece of automotive art, and to Henry, for sharing with us his extraordinary passion. It has reminded me, almost with tears in my eyes, of the first episode of car-loving that I remember as a child: I was about seven or eight years old, walking to school, when a friend of my father took me for the last sector of the way to scool on the co-driver's seat of his Giulia (I don't know if it was a 1300 Super or whatever), what I remeber crystal clear is the exciting sound, the low seating position, the gear lever and the dash gauges: it was so impressing that I fell in love with cars for the rest of my life (I'm 64 now). Thank you again.

This is beyond than ordinary review. The cinematography, sounds engineering, man absolute 100%

I am lucky enough to have a 1972 Giulia Super, which I have updated with an Alfaholics fast road suspension kit. Everything else is standard apart from the Alfaholics/Maxilite TZ-style 15" wheels. Every time I am in it I love it and the smiles and waves I get from passers by makes it all worth it. And as Henry says you can update the car with parts from alfaholics and Classic Alfa as you can afford it and for relatively little money.

Ive been obsessed with these cars ever since I saw that video of Chris Harris drifting a GTAR around. I WILL own or build one of these one day

I have owned my ‘69 Giulia 1300 TI but which is slightly enhanced by a 1600 with twin webers and a bundle of Alfaholics suspension goodies (fast road), for the past 8 years..My brother is building up currently a ‘69 Giulia Super for Hillclimbs, club racing and road rally’s (it’s fully caged), while my brother in law has an original ‘68 Giulia Super. They are such a cool car and like their sibling GTV’s, they too have gone up significantly in value over the years. Nice one Henry 👍

First saw these in The Italian Job. Always preferred them to the Minis somehow. They just seemed so cool. This though is on an entirely different level. Love it!

That's such a beauty! Almost unknown in the US, and Alfaholics have hit max Q-ship with this one. Almost like an Ariel Atom in a tuxedo!😊

Love seeing these (non-Alfaholic, but tuned) on hillclimbs 'round here. They run the oldtimer category, so it's a regularity run, but they floor it none the less. :)

Great piece Henry! You captured well why some of us are total lunatics for these old Alfa sedans, whether they be mild or wild like the Alfaholics version featured.

The Super R is just jewel like. Automotive art. Wish I could afford one. Thanks for making such a fantastic video on it.

The ultimate joy of driving a very light car with manual controls and analog feel. Keep building these kinds of cars while others don’t understand these kinds of cars.

I know I’m a real enthusiast, cause as soon as this videos over, I’m deep diving into this car…omg beautiful.

It’s a gorgeous little thing. I would get one in a heartbeat if I had the money.

Now the opposite is true

What an absolute treat.

Back in the late 70's in Calgary, Frank Cannetero Motors, Fiat, Alfa, Lamborghini - was a part of the dealer group I worked for, at their British car dealership, and Frank daily drove one of these 1.3's with a 2 litre swap, ATS mags, CN36 Pirellis, Konis and it was lowered a bit... I daily drove and slalom raced an X-1/9 then, and was often riding in that Gulia. I loved it! The first resto-mod I had ever seen. I rode in it quite a few times. Frank was an insanely talented driver who also had the first Periscopio Countach in Alberta. I rode in that black beauty about 5 blissful times.

I had the chance to go to Alfaholics in 2012 for their open day, on the night I was just going to my hotel but Andrew invited me to the evening meal, they all so welcoming and friendly. I see this is Andrew's old white car. They are my lottery winning dream car, a 105 Coupe 290 GTA-R In Pearl White with an Italian strip over the bonnet and roof.

Makes me long for my '72 GTV2000... what lovely little pieces of mechanical jewelry ALFAs are... almost all of them! Thanks Henry and Hagerty!

positively delightful episode and most definitely my most favorite car i have ever owned. Simply adorable.

As a car guy in my 40's...there are not words in the English language to properly express how little interest I have in modern cars, let alone super-cars. I can't begin to muster any enthusiasm or interest in electric vehicles, automated systems, etc. This...and similar cars like it, are just leaps more fascinating. I cannot begin to imagine buying a modern "supercar" over something like this if you have the cash.

Wow! Fantastic video of a tremendous vehicle. I’ve always loved the 105 Giulia sedan and Alfaholics have just taken it to a whole new level. *chefs kiss*

The joy is contagious. Thank you, Henry for another great piece.

I understand the joy of just sitting in a Giulia. When Alfa Romeo had a Ti Super on display at Goodwood FOS alongside the newly launched Quadrifoglio-Verde (2017?), they left the door unlocked and I saw mud on the driver's footwell. I took my own opportunity. I couldn't possibly explain why, but it was like someone turned a dimmer switch up on my mood as I landed on the remarkably soft, homely seat. The large but skinny wheel doesn't make you clasp it like a wannabe helmswright; you naturally greet it gently with not all of your fingers necessary, and wriggle it lightly. Ditto the wand-like gear lever. It just put me in a different headspace. Just sitting there in their little motor show building, it was transportation to a different world from that of new cars. I loved it. I want to always remember that feeling when I see this shape of Giulia. I wish I could afford a Super-R and turn the joy up to 11.

Good looking car when they came out new, this one is beautiful.

Brilliant review. Henry looked like he had lots of fun driving that. Makes us all want to drive it.

That first 5 seconds. The music. The engine sound. The cinematography. 👏👏👏👏

Phenomenal audio

What a treat, amazing sound and video work

Such a brilliant video. Made me smile so much. Keep up the good work chaps

Well done Henry and Hagerty, wonderful video, magnificent Alfa Romeo, so full of character.

A gorgeous thing. when I was doing my obligatory national service in rge bad days here in SA. A friend had one god we were all so jealous. I think ( and could be wrong) it was only a 1.3 but it revved and ran and sang beautifully.

These videos are absolutely incredibly made!

I watched this 3 times back to back. I love it…. And the colour is beautiful

Modern suspension and tires are key. Putting KW V2's and some sticky tires on my MK1 Golf GTI turned it into a much better car.

Im astonished by the quality. Stunning shots and Henrys commentary made me truly fall in love with this car. MIght as well be my sort of "affordable" dream car. Edit: The ending made me tear up, I want to marry this exact car

Here in Italy it was indeed the getaway car of choice for thieves and robbers, they would get at least even with the police! There are lots and lots of gangster movies from the 70s based upon Giulia-on-Giulia chases, epic!!

Brilliant review. I was once warned against test driving one of these. Once you’ve driven one, you want one, and back in the 70’s they were regarded as rust buckets

Congratulations from Italy , you have made a masterpiece of restomod !!! Your Giulia is wonderful !!!

I love your sense of humor Henry, when mentioning the car has a left hand steering. It's that kind of literacy which makes this show stand out for me. Massive thanks.

An Alfaholics 105 has long been on my lottery garage list. They’re just perfect. And what an utterly brilliant video. It kind of beggars belief that content of this quality is available for free. Thanks to the whole team on this one.

Henry! My man! Still my favourite motoring journalist by a far and what a cat that is! Absolutely perfect in every way and it definitely stands alone amongst many a common restomod! Amazing 🤩

Guilia 1.3 TI was my first car my mother bought in1971.We still have a good memory until now.Thank for making her alive.

Yess, yess! This is the car i want. This model is perfect. I’m in love. There is sort of a version of this at Straderial in france. But a very rare station model. And i probably need both in my life. But the sound, the looks.. perfection.

We need alooooof of cars like this but affordable. Old cars were so light but back then had little power. With todays technology having engines that produce good power with chasis under a ton its what the world needs

Outstanding review; I bought my first Super --new--in 1968. Installed 10 to 1 pistons and Koni shocks. In the day it was a quick car on the road from Vancouver to Whistler Ski Resort. Sadly, in nine years it was rusted so badly it went to the wreckers. In 2006 bought a "concours" 1967 and put in a strong 2 L, LSD and with 500 # springs up front an Koni Reds the car was outstanding on back "humpy-bumpy" roads.--Sigh,

This was good for my soul..... Utterly charming car! Great review too...

Fun video to watch, very entertaining and one thing one must point out: great cinematography! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Ciao bella! Amazing praise indeed and the ending really nails home why we love certain cars.

This is a truly great presentation, I'm tingling and I want one!

I agree. All the 105 series are great cars to drive, even better when tuned. But for many owners, the sedan is the best of the bunch and Catchpole is very eloquent as to why. You can build something which will give you 90% of this feeling for 30000 GBP as well.
