Summary

The Giulia GTC, the open-top version of the Giulia Sprint GT, is a rarity that even some Alfa fans are hardly aware of. It was only built for a good two years (1964-1966) in around 1,000 units, and only a few of the stunning four-seater convertibles have survived to this day. This report describes the history of the GTC and shows an example in detail, supplemented with archive material and a sound sample.

Many classic car enthusiasts are familiar with the famous Alfa Romeo Giulia, the four-door saloon with the specially shaped boot lid, and of course the Giulia Sprint GT coupé, the direct predecessor of the Bertone GTV. However, few people know that there was also an open version of this Giulia GT, known as the GTC, and even in the 1960s the open Giulia GTC was a rarity with just under 1,000 units produced. The Alfa Romeo Giulia GT had won the hearts of Alfisti and enjoyed great popularity. With its four seats, it was also suitable for transporting a small family or a trip with friends. Some Alfa buyers, however, looked to the sky and preferred open-top cars. However, those who needed more than two seats could not opt for the Giulietta Spider. An open-top version of the Giulia GT, officially launched in 1965, was designed to appeal to precisely this segment.
