Alfa Romeo Giulia 1971–1975 car dimensions: 4080 mm long, 1580 mm wide and 1315 mm high. Unladen weight is 1,028 kg. Boot space with the seats up is 320 litres.
The cabin has supportive bucket seats with adjustable backrests that hold you well on long drives. A full set of Jaeger gauges sits in a hooded cluster ahead of the driver, with secondary dials nearby and heater controls in the centre console. Air conditioning is optional. No electronic driver aids are fitted.
Boot space measures 320 litres with the seats in place. The opening is practical for a coupe of this size and the spare sits in a well.

The cabin has supportive bucket seats molded to the body with adjustable backrests that keep you relaxed on long high-speed drives. A wood-rimmed steering wheel and full set of gauges sit ahead of the driver in a hooded cluster, with a center console holding secondary instruments and heat controls. The four-seat layout feels sporty and compact, with good visibility through the greenhouse, though the rear bench is tight for adults.
Requires 98-100 octane petrol.
Engine oil change every 10,000 km.
Four-wheel disc brakes with servo assistance standard.
Limited-slip differential standard.
Dual-circuit brakes on later cars.
The 2.0-litre twin-cam runs on high-octane petrol and returns combined consumption figures in the region of 14 l/100 km depending on conditions. Highway runs can improve on that while city driving is thirstier. Tank capacity sits around 50 litres for a practical range.
Routine care centres on regular oil and filter changes at 10,000 km intervals using the specified viscosity. Gearbox and final-drive oils need attention every 18,000 km. Greasing points and valve clearances form part of longer-term maintenance, and the twin-cam responds well to consistent attention from specialists familiar with the model.
Safety equipment of the period includes servo-assisted discs at all four corners and a limited-slip differential as standard. Dual-circuit braking appeared to meet emerging regulations. Seat belts are fitted, and the unitary structure provides the expected protection for its era. No formal crash-test ratings exist from the time.
Living with the car means watching for rust in sills, floorpans, trailing-arm mounts and spare-wheel well. Parts remain available through specialists, and the engines are durable when serviced properly. Electrical gremlins usually trace to grounds or old repairs rather than fundamental design issues.
