Description
With over £25, 000 expenditure by the previous owner and the bodywork mostly completed, this is an opportunity to finish a worthwhile project to exactly the specification you want.
Although originally a South African car, this Giulia subsequently moved to Portugal, where it was last on the road around 20 years ago. It was imported into the UK in 2020 by the previous owner, who commissioned a restoration from renowned Alfa specialist Alex Jupe Motorsport.
The car was stripped and a thorough body restoration commenced (other photos are available). At the same time, some replacement parts were acquired, including a good set of doors and new panels from Classic Alfa (invoices are available showing around £2. 5K).
In addition, a larger capacity 2. 0 litre engine and gearbox were purchased (original was 1300) and a reconditioned 2. 0 litre axle with LSD (at a cost of £700).
During 2021, the then owner was forced to abort the project and sell the car. McGrath Maserati bought it with the idea of completing an in-house project.
However, with too many other projects already in hand, we are now offering the car for sale again. No work has been done to it since it arrived with us, but it has been stored safely.
Accompanied by various boxes of parts, plus the extra original doors and mechanical items. The seats and door cards and dashboard are original and would clean. Some of the other interior trim is missing or in poor condition. There are no bumpers or rear light units. Photos of the parts included are also available. There is still work to do mechanically.
In terms of paperwork, the car has not been roadworthy in the UK and therefore is not registered. However it comes with the Portuguese log book, NOVA and an FCA certificate of origin, all of which will aid registration once complete.
More photos and invoice copies are available and we would encourage viewing, which can be done at our premises in Hertfordshire.
We were attracted by the amount of work already completed on this car and the fact that it could be finished to any specification – original, fast road, resto mod or full racer. A great winter project!
