This covers the Giulia Berlinas and the
rebadged Giulietta Coupes/Spiders.
There are separate pages for the Bertone
Coupes, Junior Zagato, TZ
and the Spider Duetto.
The other variants on the Giulietta theme, the Spider,
Sprint and Sprint Speciale were continued,
albeit with the larger engine, and simply rebadged. In the same year, 1962,
the Giulia TZ (for Tubolare Zagato) was introduced
with a tubular frame supporting the light alloy body, disc brakes all round
and independent rear suspension. This was aimed at motorsport where it scored several successes.
1964 saw several new variants being introduced. The
1300 Sprint was brought out, which was the old 1600 Sprint fitted with
the 1300 engine and disc brakes at the front. This was released to fill
a gap for a cheaper coupe than the new Sprint GT.
The 1300 Giulia berlina was introduced, this being
a Giulia TI fitted with the 78bhp 1300 engine from the Giulietta TI. It
was easily recogniseable since it had only two headlights as well as having
individual front seats and a floor mounted gearshift. The Giulia 1300 TI
arrived a bit later in 1966, with 82bhp and a five speed gearbox. And finally
the Giulia 1600 Spider Veloce saw the 1600 engine with 112bhp from the
SS being fitted into the old Spider body.
The saloons received a boost in 1965 with the introduction
of the new Giulia Super with 98bhp, positioned mid way between the standard
TI and the TI Super. Apart from the engine there were numerous small changes
made to the detail design, both internally and externally.
Brief mention should also be made of the Giulia GS
4R Zagato, a replica of the vintage 1750 Zagato Gran Sport Spider made
on A Giulia 1300 Super appeared for the first time in
1970, which then replaced both the Giulia 1300 and 1300 TI.
1971 saw the Giulia Super get a floor mounted handbrake,
dual circuit brakes, 102bhp and numerous other changes before in 1974 it
was relaunched as the Nuova Super. In 1976 there appeared one of the last
versions when a 1760cc Perkins diesel engine with 55bhp was fitted to the
Nuova Super. A total of 177,897 Giulia Supers were built between 1965 and
1978 when production stopped, as well as 6,572 diesel powered versions.
Production figures were approximately :
June 1962 saw the introduction of the new 105 series, or Giulia, to replace
the highly successful Giulietta. Powered
by a 1570cc derivative of the Giulietta engine with 92bhp the standard
three box, four door berlina (Giulia TI) was a considerably more boxy design
than the outgoing Giulietta. It nevertheless had excellent aerodynamics
with a drag coefficient of just 0.33 and could reach 166kph (103mph). It
was also fitted with a five speed gearbox, still controlled by a column
mounted shift. The suspension remained mostly the same as the Giulietta,
although the rear was modified to improve the handling.
The following year saw the release of the Giulia TI Super, just 500 examples
of this were built with 112bhp, discs brakes on all wheels, individual
front seats and a floor mounted shift. The four wheel disc brakes became standard on the normal cars in the same year, whilst
the floor mounted shift became optional in 1964.
the
Giulia base. A total of 92 were constructed. Another low volume version
of the Giulia was the Giardinetta or estate.

I still drive my Nuova Super Gulia
1975 everyday with great pleasure. The noice of the engine is unbeatable
and provides me happines. Great pleasure, except finding spare parts. (H, Switzerland)
Frequently drove a red 1965 Giulia
Spider Veloce in central France primarily between Orleans and Paris. On
a clear mid week day, did a best average speed of 110 m.p.h. for the distance without
incident. Truely one of the most enjoyable drives of the era. (James P, Des P, USA)
