Alfa Romeo 1965 Giulia 1600 Super on 2040-cars
Heerlen, Netherlands
|
Up for sale is a rare 1965 Giulia 1600 Super. This 1600 Super is almost the same as the Bol d'Oro, but it is in fact much rarer. These were made for only a few months in 1965, so very limited production. Originally delivered to Lodi, Italy. Brought to the Netherlands in 1992. This is a very original and solid car. No rust whatsoever. I have seen no signs of welding or repairs anywhere, all rubbers are in the floors and all jackpoints are present and in good condition. You don't see too many of these Giulia's in such an unmolested condition. All the bits and pieces that are unique to this model are present, to name a few: - Old type doorhinges - Mechanical clutch - Old type engine without the ears for the camcover (matching numbers of course) - Dunlop brakes (recently revised, functioning great) - Old type big seats - Old type 15" wheels (including original sparewheel) - All the right interior details like steering wheel, lights, aluminium rocker covers etc. The Giulia did quite recently pass the safety and emission inspection here in the Netherlands (like the MOT and T?V). It can be driven anywhere without a problem. It handles well, brakes are good and absolutely no second gear problems. Engine runs very smooth on the correct Weber carbs. Differential doesn't make any noise. The tires are the correct 15" Michelin MX tires. The seats weren't at their best after 48 years, so I had them refurbished with the original material from Italy. It cost a fortune, but this car deserves a perfect interior. For this reason I also replaced the carpet. For driving comfort the original springs and shocks were replaced (yellow Koni's). This is a very healthy, rust free Giulia that represents great value, especially because of its great condition and because it's a very hard to find, rare example. Car is located in the Netherlands. All the documents are with the car and I will provide the documents you need to import the car into the US. I have experience with shipping to the US and will assist where possible. I have been a member of the Alfa Bulletin Board (Rodrick22GTV) for several years and have sold a few Alfa's to fellow boardmembers. Shipping costs are somewhere between $800 and $2000, depending on your location. |

Mazda engineers urging execs for more RWD models
Wed, 02 Oct 2013According to Edmunds, Mazda engineers are pressuring the company to create more rear-wheel-drive models, in an effort to better differentiate itself from its rivals. This push is reportedly coming from middle and senior engineers within the company, and these folks at Mazda believe this rear-drive strategy would allow the automaker to produce more distinctive, fun to drive cars. Mazda discontinued the rear-drive (and rotary-engined) RX-8 a few years ago, leaving the MX-5 Miata as the company's only RWD offering.
As enthusiasts, we're fully on board with Mazda offering more rear-drive cars, but unsurprisingly, the company's top management isn't exactly keen on the idea - and with good reason. First and foremost, the cost associated with redesigning fresh architecture for new models would be very high, and considering the fact that Mazda hasn't exactly been raking in the dough lately, an expensive new venture like this doesn't make a whole lot of sense. What's more, Mazda's latest front-drive models - the Mazda3, Mazda6 and CX-5 - have been very well-received, and are helping the company gain sales momentum.
But that doesn't mean there aren't other options. Edmunds reminds us that Mazda is already partnering with Alfa Romeo on the next-generation Miata, and if this collaboration is successful, perhaps the relationship could bear additional fruit. After all, Alfa Romeo is said to be working on returning to its rear-wheel-drive roots, so Mazda's engineers might be able to make a case for more RWD goodness after all.
