What model is this?

A most interesting discussion.  Re colours I too like the more obscure '50s and '60s colours rather than re-sale red, hence my white 1750 GTV won't be repainted red, and while superb white ones do look good, I am more likely to go for a shade of blue (perhaps Bluette, Blu Hollandese ?) but which specifically I am undecided.  My brother in law used to have a stepnose 1600 Sprint Veloce and it was in a soft pale blue, while his '70 or '71 Super is in beige. Not that I am a fan of beige.  I remember seeing many years ago a 1600 TI Giulia sedan in Bluette which looked good. 

As for rubber floor mats, on the GT Junior yes that was quite correct, as it was also the case in the 1300 TI Giulia sedan, of which my brother has a '70 model. 

Re the Periwinkle blue, a friend down here in Hobart has a 2L Berlina in this colour and it really suits the shape well. I am pretty sure there is a 2L 105 GTV down here also in that colour, while there have been a couple of Le Mans blue 105 Alfas down here as well (Berlinas, and GTVs).  Pine green is also a colour which can work well on a 105.

I'm lucky that my 2000 GTV is Azzurro Le Mans, a colour that I was told way back was rare, but in reality probably isn't that rare. I suspect most people like the colour and don't change it into Alfa Rosso...

Mine is as well Paul.  I've had two that colour over the years and I agree; it's not particularly rare.  Still, it's period and one of my favourite colours for a GTV.
