Summary

A car perfect for the regulars' table? At least, that's what the speedometer of the Alfa Romeo Giulia 1300, the economy model for export, which sometimes indicates 200 km/h, would have you believe. But there is more to the affordable Giulia, as its temperament and driving safety are on a par with the best. Only the workmanship could be better. At least that's what the testers of the magazine 'hobby' found during road tests in 1964. This article reproduces the original wording of the test report at the time and supplements it with many historical photos of the Giulia as well as an original brochure.

Preview (beginning of the article)

The Giulietta Tl now has a fast sister: the Giulia 1300! This 'Milanese twin sister' costs a whole 500 marks more than the Tl. What more does the Giulia offer? What does it offer for the money? Alfa Romeo cannot survive on the domestic market. In the first five months of this year, fewer Alfa Romeo cars were registered in Italy than VW 1200 in Germany in February alone. Alfa Romeo's loss of market share in Italy amounts to more than 30 percent. So the company has to export in order to survive, and you have to hand it to the Alfa people for not only lowering the prices of existing models abroad considerably, but also for coming up with new low-cost variants of their standard models. The latest of these is the Giulia 1300.
