The Alfa Romeo Giulia TI Super was the first Alfa touring car fine-tuned for international motorsport by the in-house Autodelta competitions department. This makes it the forebear of everything from the 1600 GTA through the GTV6 on to the high-tech 155 TI DTM and beyond. The TI Super was one of the first projects undertaken by ex-Ferrari Formula 1 designer Carlo Chiti’s Autodelta organisation after it was incorporated into Alfa in 1963. It breathed on the four-box saloon Giulia TI to create the TI Super, a more powerful and lighter racing special aimed at what was then called the European Touring Car Challenge (generally known as the ETC). The engine specification was borrowed from the existing Giulietta Sprint Speciale coupé. The 45 DCOE twin-choke Weber carburettors raised the power output from the standard TI’s shade more than 100bhp to something in the region of 130bhp. The TI Supers were rated at 127bhp, but race versions of the time had closer to 145 bhp. The better part of 100 kilos were taken out. There were lighter door panels, a new front grille with two fewer headlights, revised bumpers, plexiglass rear windows (and no front-quarter lights) and magnesium alloy wheels that had been first seen on the Giulia TZ coupé. That all contributed to the 910kg homologation minimum.

The car was launched at Monza in April 1963, but the 500 examples required for the ETC’s Group 2 rules (total production of TI Supers hit 501) weren’t completed until the following May. That allowed the car to compete in the ETC. A TI Super entered under the Jolly Club banner with future Formula 1 racer Andrea de Adamich on the driving roster claimed a third in class at the Brands Hatch 6 Hours in June, a precursor to a one-two-three result at Monza at the end of the year. Grand prix winner Giancarlo Baghetti claimed outright victory aboard a Jolly Club-entered car in the 650km race. Back at Monza for the ’65 series opener, the TI Super dominated the four-hour race for cars entered in divisions 2 and 3 (the multi-class ETC mixed and matched its various categories in its early years). De Adamich and Sandro Arcioni took the laurels, with other Giulias in second, third and sixth.

The example we are offering for sale is a fabulous Alfa Romeo Giulia Super saloon (pre-66 Touring Cars, FIA, App.K), meticulously built to TI Super specifications.This car was race prepared during 2022-2023, using only new and fully refurbished parts sourced by Alfaholics, MyAlfa /Bertlesbeck, Classic Alfa, OKP, Alfa-Delta, etc. Hundreds of hours of work spent, no expense spared, resulting in this brilliant looking competition touring car. The car is race ready (on the button) and comes with a fresh FIA HTP which is valid until 31/12/2033. After finishing, the Alfa Romeo was tested on the track (Zolder) to complete the final racing specification. The Giulia is eligible for all types of pre-66 historic series like, Peter Auto/Tour Auto Super-Sixties Series, Masters Historic Series, Goodwood Revival, Modena Cento Ore, Alfa Revival Cup, FHR Endurance Series, etc.

The bodyshell was fully stripped to bare metal, seam welded, repainted in Bianco Spino and finished to the original Jolly Club specification, which suits this racecar brilliantly. An FIA approved/certified bespoke 6 point roll-cage is fitted, together with Sparco EVO-L race seats, Sparco 5 point race harnesses, new FIA seat rails and seat reinforcement bars/struts. To achieve a perfect finish, new door rubbers and window seals, bespoke light weight door panels, rear quilted vinyl seat covers and race mirror were installed. Beside this, there is also a Sparco centralized mechanical extinguisher system with nozzles inside the cockpit and the engine compartment. It has a laminated original windscreen and all around lightweight Perspex (LEXAN) windows.

Front headlights with light plastic bowls and indicator/side lights are brand new, and so are the taillights lenses and new FIA rain light.

This Alfa Romeo Giulia is one of the best prepared cars we ever had in our inventory. Everything is new and constructed to the highest possible specification. It's quite clear that building this car was far more expensive then the asking price.
For that reason, I am sure that there are very few historic racing cars for sale with this level of finish, and the lucky person who buys this Alfa Romeo will no doubt realise that this is an absolutely top offer. Viewing and testing is absolutely recommended, but with this warning : it will be very addictive and undoubtedly lead to buying this magnificent car !
