Is the 116 series giulietta the most forgotten about alfa ever??

[Neil Choi]

The ARNA!!!!

Oh, wait, we do want to forget about it.

Sorry.

...  if a 2 litre Giulietta ever comes up at the right time and price, to put GTV6 running gear into it, and make a very nice, understated, and deceptively quick road car.

+1 -   The Arse is ok   - the dash ??!??  eesh

Cheers,

I like the nipple headlights on the 2.0litre

Giulietta with a 24 valve screamer, or even a twinspark turbo or a retro modern car with p/s, leather with a choice of either ts motor or old nord engine on efi.

It could be argued that the 75 is the natural progression from the Giulietta, the Alfa 90 taking over from the Alfetta.  Styling cues would support that lineage.

Hey Beatle (Bayly). Great to see you posting again , where have you been for the last few years.

Bump . You want to listen because Beatle knows a thing or two about 116 series cars.

Hi Paul,

I had a major job/life change (left the military after 27 years....) and moved home etc etc.  Alfa-less for a while now (I need to update profiles  ) but finally have a big shed, and I now have a nagging but strangely familiar itch that needs scratching..... so I may be in the market.  Doubt I can stretch to a 105 coupe or Spider, but a nice 'Fetta sedan, 75, or 90 might be do-able.  Then again, all this talk of a 116 Giulietta has also piqued my interest.  Mint green is probably too much for me these days though 

Something I've noticed over the years is that the Giulietta seemed to appeal to the 'younger' set into street modification compared to the, dare I say, more conservative Alfetta demographic.  Maybe thats why there are not many around?  It would be cool to turn up to a drift meet in one though

You don't need to argue very hard for this point of view, since the 90 was designed around the Alfetta inner door frames, and the 75 around the Giulietta inner door frames and floor pan.

Welcome back Beatle.

Hi Beatle,
And thanks Paul G, for the link to Beatles old thread. Sadly (in the sense that I still haven't finshed the fetta) I remember it. As I'm just about to rust proof it (now very shiny, want to keep it that way) its very timely!

Darryl.
