Sedans @ Monterey
Lots of wonderful TIs and Supers at Monterey this year !
We drove our '68 Super from the OC and it performed great.

The blue TI is just wonderful, especially up close.
interresting that my heater didn't work until after the laps at Laguna Seca !
Guess there was still an air bubble in there ;^)

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I think that the T.I. at the Concorso was painted in Verde Celeste.
Looks near identical to Bianchi's factory (bicycle) racing color, also looks like mint chip ice cream.

Yes, I believe that Peter is right on the color of the TI.
I believe that the car is unrestored and in its first paint !!
Talked to the owner about getting a spot next to it at the next event with my 1600 S. Same condition and close to the same year.

quick question
Hi, I have a 65' Ti and my question is, does anyone know what a wider rim size i can stick on my rear end? i currently have B.W.A.'s on and my fronts are 175 and the rear has the 165. but i would like to put wider tire or rims that will fit so it wont rub against the body of the car.
Thanks!

185s will fit on 5 1/2" Alfa steel wheels without rubbing, and some have gone to 195 with the right offset. They need to be offset inwards to go much wider, I think, but can't tell you the dimension. I'm sure someone here can.
If you haven't registered this car with me for the North American Giulia Sedan Register, please send me VIN, etc. Thanks a lot.

I have BWAs on my car with 175/70/14s, and they fit OK with the caveat that I haven't, you know, driven it yet. Of course, I understand that BWAs came with several offsets, so that could be the issue.

old banger
The wheels on my old banger are Australian, 6x14 with 185/70/14 German Klaibers, great in the wet.

Great look Peter !!
Would like to know which tire you are running. 185/70 ??
I've had a few varieties on my Super and 1600 S. All fit with no rubbing, but all are still on stock springs.
1600 s with stock 14's and 165-14 Vredesteins. Nice ride and good feel. I tried the Dunlops on for size, but didn't like the look or feel.
Super with stock rims and 185/70-14 Dunlops. Better handling, but harsher ride.
Super with 14x6 Campies and 185/70 Michelin Harmony tires. No rubbing and a very smooth ride....great grip in the twisties.
Super with 14x5 1/2 Cromodoras and the same Dunlops. A better look ( to me ) but the same harsh ride. Will get a set of Vredesteins, if available, or Michelins some time soon.
