In 1962, Alfa Romeo presented the successor to the Giulietta, the 105 series Giulia, as a sporty four-door family sedan – arguably one of the greatest Alfa series of all times. A year later, a coupe version was added to the lineup. It came with a slightly shortened wheelbase and even more powerful engines, which in combination with the masterly styling by Giorgetto Giugiaro at Bertone made for an extremely popular car. Model designations kept changing, there are said to be 16 different versions of the coupe, which is why they are generally simply referred to as “the Bertone”.
All engines were inline-four cylinder units, which varied in capacity from 1.3 to 2.0 litres and power output between 64 kW (87 hp) and 96 kW (131 hp). Even the smaller ones in the GT Junior entry models were more than able to deal with the kerb weight of just over one ton.
Some 222,000 units of the “Bertone Coupe” were built in the course of the 14 years’ production span which ended in 1977. The surviving examples are mostly in collectors’ hands and prices are continually on the rise.
