13.02.2017Deceleration at the beginning of the week with the Giulia 1300 super

to start a little bit slower as usual rather not at the beginning of the week, where we are all demanded by our bosses, again to peak performances. However, it is one of the daily observations that drivers of Youngtimers on the road are much more relaxed on the road. It may be that it is because of that one is more careful with a Mercedes-Benz W 126 or a BMW 1502; But youngtimers' drivers may also have declined from the hunt for the best times and the operational hustle and bustle that the modern vehicles sometimes generate with their assistance systems, beeps and helpers. Minichamps dedicates another model to a sporting representative that was also attractive without tools.

The basic data for the Giulia 1300 super

The Alfa Romeo Giulia 1300 Super, which was launched by the manufacturer to the 1966 model year and is based on the top model Giulia ti, whose 501 built copies were handed over to private racers. The Giulia 1300 Super is today regarded as a defining feature of the range and has been able to get a top speed of 175 kilometers per hour from its twin-camshaft engine thanks to two flat-bed carburettors 72 kW / 98 hp. A lot of chrome in the grill, around the window frames and on the bumpers underlined the top position of the 1300 super in the program. Minichamps has made a lot of effort with this blue model car built on only 504 units and the body is made of zinc die-cast with all-opening doors and hoods.

Let's take a closer look: Proportions and thus the look fit perfectly. At first sight, well-fitting, flush parts terminate flush with the body. Also the chrome-plated handles have the same shape as the model. The panoramic windows give a great view into the interior, which offers a wooden steering wheel and slavically correct seats and door linings. Screens are shown with instrument carriers and wooden decor. But a dream - a hit in the heart of the Alfisti - is the model of the engine with the color-highlighted containers and the green cables to the spark plugs. The structures of radiator and cylinder head cover fit perfectly. We understand when more and more people are turning to the old cars, because this kind of deceleration is the only way to relax and a better work performance.

We wish you a good start in the week!
