Alfa Romeo Giulietta (1977)

The Alfa Romeo Giulietta of 1977, factory type 116, is a small executive saloon built by the Italian maker Alfa Romeo from 1977 to 1985. It was introduced in November 1977 and took its name from the original Giulietta of 1954 to 1965, but it was a new design based on the Alfa Romeo Alfetta chassis, including the Alfetta rear mounted transaxle. The car was facelifted twice, in 1981 and again in 1983, and every Giulietta of this generation used a five speed manual gearbox. The body was a conventional three box saloon with a short boot and a small aerodynamic spoiler built into the rear. It was offered only as a saloon, although several coachbuilders made estate conversions, the first of them by Moretti in the first half of 1978.
