New Giulietta (Type 940) 2010 - 2020

Purchased in September 2018 from Simonstone, Bristol where it had been their demonstrator for three months. First registered in June 2018, it had completed 1,500 miles when I bought it for my wife for £14,995--a saving of £6,000 on a new model. Her second Giulietta, she completed 4,500 miles in the year she had it before I took it on as my first Alfa in September 2019. I've had it since then, completing around 6,000 miles per year.

A small number of modifications, mainly to uplift a somewhat dull charcoal grey interior: red carpet mats, OEM aluminium pedal covers, enamel Italian flag emblem on the instrument panel and tailgate, quadrifoglio badges on the front wings and in front of the gear level (it is a sport after all). A subtle but enhanced interior space.

Regulary serviced by Johnsons Alfa Romeo Swindon until 2023, and from 2024 by Autolusso Bournemouth.

A super car from a simpler, analogue age which is fun to drive, plenty quick enough, wonderful to look at and just about the best car to own in my opinion. The heritage and history of the brand just adds to the ownership and driving experience as does membership of AROC and attending the various club events over the year.

Some minor additions to liven up the charcoal grey interior.
