  • Classic Alfa 105's are brilliant and rapidly rising in value. I take you for a spin in my own 1972 Giulia Super to explain why they're such great cars, and why you need to buy one!

    My 1st new car was a 1971 Alfa 1750 Berlina, put a smile on my face every time that I drove it and I drove it hard. Thank you for the video.

    I'm imagining my fellow American drivers watching this and just CRINGING as the Giulia's tach crosses 6,000 RPM. I say... GOOD FOR YOU! That engine was designed to be driven hard; we Americans have had a lot of trouble with these little twin-cammers because they just don't know how to drive them. Alfas need to BREATHE!
    And what an elegant little sedan! Certainly not sexy but incredibly charming- I love everything you've done to it. Thank you for sharing your car and your thoughts... if you care about driving, then at some point in your life you simply MUST own an Italian car- bravissimo!

    • @AshrafonCars
      @AshrafonCars  Před 3 lety

      Thanks Denis. It's really great. It's can just about fit four large adults, and as standard they're very comfortable and refined, and are fun to drive at even normal speeds. Mine has Alfaholics suspension so it's more harsh over rough roads, but still good. The only thing I will say is that if you plan on using it for long trips then get one with the 1600 engine, the 1300 is fine but the 1600 has more torque and longer gearing which makes it a bit better at high speed cruising. But the 1300 is a very sweet engine that loves to rev.

      And yeah would probably go with a 1600 or 1750 engine.
      Since the plan is to go on longer trips around in Europe.
      You have gone with the same suspension and wheels as I would've done.

      Hi, these are Bridgestone B250s. I like them, they're not too stiff in the sidewall, they break away nicely and communicate very well. However, I'd like to change to Pirelli CN36's for more delicate, lighter steering and more progressive sliding.
