1972 Alfa Romeo Giulia 1300 Super - Classic Car For Sale (Click Here)



Description:

Probably invented the term VW GTI and it struck solid concept, but their car came at least 15 years of Alfa Romeo. Since Giulia'en was presented as the successor to the popular Giulietta in 1962 was for its time a bilteknisk titbit. It is the epitome of everything that we in the last 30 years has been understood by a GTI car. A compact family car with extra-powerful engine, efficient braking and not least the excellent driving characteristics. Everything packed in a discreet appearance, as you must know to know that here is a car that can give owners of pure sports cars sweat.

Mechanical Alfa Romeo chose to build on the well-functioning platform that was started with Giulietta'en already in 1953, but in almost all areas had improved the design. 5-speed gearbox was now standard, was reinforced rear axle and rear suspension equally. Disc brakes all round was standard, as it was at the last Giulietta.

The early models gave 92 bhp, but the grant of 1600 the engine grew steadily throughout the model period to 112 hp. (89 hp in 1300 version as here). Compared to contemporary cars in the class were Giulia'en a sports car in the family dress - just compare with a Ford Anglia, Opel Kadett and VW 1300th Besides that it was technically sophisticated, Alpha had the first of a series model made use of a wind tunnel in the development of the body. Immediately you would ikkke believe that the angular bodywork was particularly wind smoothly, but in fact the car has a cw coefficient of just 0.32 - the same as a Porsche 911 or the much licked and 25 years later Audi 80th Not many cars in the early '60s was just near that level and it could be seen at top speed - 180 km / h was 45 years ago, even very quickly for a family car with a relatively small engine size.

Giulia'en quickly became the preferred model for the Polizia and Carabinieri, and criminals were up very fast cars to run away (but managed a team of crazy Englishmen to run from them in 3 Mini Coopers in the cult movie 'The Italian Job') . Giulia'en stood at the top of wish list of the young successful leader and could bring him and his family with full holiday luggage from large cities, along autostradaen the bathing areas of Lido di Jesolo and Forte Dei Marmi - with 160 km hours all the way!

This beautiful Giulia Super hjemtog us from Pisa in May 2007. It has lived most of his life in the dry, Italian climate as evidenced by the car's condition. The engine is upgraded to a 2 liter.

Before it was compulsory undercarriage treatment, all the casings taken from the doors to find a small collection of dry olive leaves in each dørkammer. After thorough vacuuming and cleaning with wire brush could be sent to the car underbody treatment.

1972 Fiat Dino 2400 - Classic Car For Sale (Click Here)


Description:

In the mid-60s stood Ferrari with a problem that only Fiat's massive production capacity could solve. Ferrari wanted to participate in the new Formula 2 class and the already developed Dino V6 engine was shelved. The new F2 rules required, however, that the engine was manufactured annually for at least 500 copies and presented in a corresponding number of cars. At that time Ferrari had neither the capacity to produce as many engines and no finances to produce and sell as many sports cars. After negotiations with the incoming Fiat boss Gianni Agnelli, Fiat went with to produce engines and even develop a sports car in the prestige class to the engine.

The outcome of Fiat's effort was the very beautiful Pininfarina designed the Dino Spider and the stylish coupe designed by the young Giugiaro at Bertone. Although the cars were developed in record time and with the use of multiple components from other Fiat cars as Fiat's engineers managed to construct a couple of very successful sports cars.

With the model change to 2400 model, which was built in 2398 specimens from April 1969 to June 1972, came as many improvements over the previous 2000 model, there was almost a new car. The most important was the replacement of the rigid rear axle to the much more advanced bagvogn from the big Fiat 130 saloon, with independent rear suspension, brakes, gearbox and differential with rafters.

So are we, except maybe the elegant curves, the promotion of this car's biggest attraction. The above quadratic Ferrari V6 engine with 4 overhead camshafts. This advanced engine is a true fireworks of melody and gusto. The shift from 2000 to 2400 engine also meant that the engine block was now cast iron and not aluminum. The 2-liter aluminum engine was a complex case.

It was originally designed as a 1.5 liter racing engine and was, according to the manufacturer Lampredi itself, already stressed to the limit in 2 liter version. Lampredi convinced management that it was better to start almost from scratch with 2.4 liter version and they gave permission to. 2.4 engine had more power, it was smoother, quieter, better lubricated and in general much more reliable. Since it was installed in Dino coupe'en, filled it's job perfectly.

The 180 horses in the crisp engine comes up to about 8,000 rpm with a sound that reveals exactly what it is, a real racing engine with roots in Formula 2nd

We have downloaded this fine Dino in MEDA north of Milan. The car is not only beautiful and original condition throughout. It is also extremely well in all functions. All the little things, despite all good things can tease a little at a car that has crossed 35 years of age is done. So it's just turning the key and let the crisp engine jump start. we sell the nysynet including Danish tax and ready for indregistring.

1972 Citroen SM 2.7 V6 - Classic Car For Sale (Click Here)


Description:
The Citroën SM was a technological tour de force, like its contemporaries Concorde. 60,000 feet, Mach 2, cocktails. Almost incomprehensible. You can see for themselves a bunch of French engineers wearing nylon stockings and pointy shoes. Ah bien! Now we make damn 'something the world has never seen before. And they did. SM is so different, so superior, so arrogant, so French. No one - absolutely no other cars could offer the same combination of comfort, performance and sharp driving dynamics, as the exquisite SM and no other car at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1970, were so bizarrely radical. A Space Oddity.

Since the early 60s Citroën had worked on 'Project S' - a sporty version of the revolutionary DS. The sedate engine of DS, had this, otherwise fine car's weakness since its introduction. The acquisition of the threatened closure Maserati in 1968, gave one stroke Citroën full access to the Italian engine technology that was needed to produce a true high-class Grand Tourer. Giulio Alfieri Maserati was among few months to deliver an engine.

Alfieri made a little jewel. Tipo C114 engine has 4 overhead, chain-driven camshafts. Engine block of aluminum is only 33 centimeters long! It is at 2.7 liters and something so unusual that a 90-degree V6. It gives the car a very distinctive motor sound at idle, which grows so well known to howl at high revs, typical of Italian thoroughbred motors with roots in racing sport. This compact power plant gave the car a top speed of 220 km / h. Not the absolute fastest time, but very quickly. It is impressive that era, however, was the car's ability to maintain 200 km / h, hour after hour, without either the driver or the car was at least tired.

A refined version of the hydropneumatic suspension of the DS was a incomparable comfort feature. It was also greatly contributed to a superb short braking distance, which still impresses today. And with a quick grip could be switched from low cutting motorway flight for maximum ground clearance, so the considerate SM owner could climb a French poodle, without the tripping of Mademoiselle Chanel suit ever noticed that Fi-Fi just was overflown by an intergalactic spaceship.

The most remarkable technical innovation in the SM, however, was the car's speed-dependent power steering. Something new at the time and only now gaining ground in modern cars. Servo provides great help in parking maneuvers and high drag at high speed. Steering with only 2 revolutions in the oval steering wheel from stop to stop, delivers razor sharp indstyring cornering. So this is two Ground Control Major Tom: Very powerful brakes operated with a sensitive rubber ball, which makes it off the brake pedal, a special suspension that causes the car to sit a little back, not forward, and 'Sneeze and Crash' management, it makes a retraining in basic driving techniques imperative, in Space Odyssey 'back to the future'.

The 6 separate front: 2 dipped-beam headlamps, 2 remote lighting and cornering lamps 2, which deals with the front wheels and the vibration ground state instead of the field opposite, all hidden behind a Plexiglas enclosure, is to give the car a futuristic appearance. The sumptuous design is followed right to the door of an equally opulent Art Deco inspired cabin.

Citroën Sport Maserati was a sophisticated car. And there is no reason to try to explain away that it is still. This should not deter the slightly more experienced classic or Citroën enthusiast from a closer acquaintance. An SM is far better than its undeserved reputation as unreliable, difficult and complicated. The engine has 2 weak points which are, or should be rectified at an SM still running today. Kædestrammeren on primary forkæde replaced with a stronger type to handle vibration at low revs in 90 degree V6 engine. Oliepumpens shaft was weak in the first engines and switched to a stronger type. Both modifications were already made in the late cohorts. The hydro-pneumatic suspension is in fact entitled robust and is known from recent models of a any Citroen mechanic. Together with a relatively sensible part situation and a major international forum of SM enthusiasts, an SM can keep running without the need for convergence between the car's model designation and the owner's sexual preferences. The important thing is to get a car that has not stood still in many years, the hydraulics can not suffer. An SM should be used not to grow together.

It is precisely the case with this copy. It belonged to a retired, German lawyer living in southern
Germany and the house in Sealand. As his favorite car travel among a large collection of classic, back down the regular route Munich - Naestved, exactly as it was built for: With high hurry! The car is urestaureret but Maintenance and intact. It means that everything in the car works perfectly, even air conditioning and the electric clock. And it is unusual.
