The Alfa Romeo Guiletta and Guilia Spiders represent Alfa's
trademark shape of the 1950s and 1960s. Their understated but
charming lines and nimble, responsive platform have long made them
an "all-time" car among Italian automotive enthusiasts. For the
Giulia model, the traditional Alfa twin cam 1300cc engine was
enlarged to 1600cc giving the powerplant an added smoothness and
reliability that put the little convertible at the top of its
class. With classic Pininfarina lines, the roadster is regarded as
one of Alfa's best.
An ideal event eligible Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider
According to Centro Documentazione Alfa Romeo, AR375767, Alfa Romeo
Giulia Spider (101.23) was completed January 23, 1963 and delivered
new on May 24 to Frankfurt, Germany in Bianco (White) over Rosso
(Red) upholstery. Acquired in 2010 by a Mid-west "Alfista", the
Giulia proved to be the ideal base to commission a meticulous
nut-and-bolt concours restoration to the current presentation
displayed today. AR375767 underwent an extensive 18-month
rotisserie restoration in late 2010 addressing all areas of the
vehicle. This included the body taken to bare metal (any repairs
were made with metal not filler), correct red for the period
applied in multiple coats with wet sanding in between then clear
coat applied, wheels stripped and coated with correct color silver
epoxy paint, top frame disassembled and restored, new cloth top
fitted, engine bay and trunk sorted with proper finishes, tinted
undercoating applied to the pans and cabin floors and firewall for
sound deadening. All cables replaced, new wiring harness from Auto
Italia Sportiva, all new rubber gaskets and seals, 165HR15
Vredestein tires, all chrome, badges and lenses addressed, all
auxiliary motors, piping/tubing/hoses, switches and electronic
equipment restored, R&R fuel tank, fuel delivery and brake
systems restored. The vehicle is complete with two large binders of
all itemized receipts and invoices from the restoration - along
with recent records thereafter.
The cabin displays hand selected black leather seating, Italian
wool carpets, clean and clear gauge faces, polished steering wheel,
excellent rubber floor and trunk mats protected by supplemental
carpeted mats with Alfa Romeo crest, leather top tie down straps,
proper red vinyl appropriately placed under and behind seats, spare
tire clip and matching wheel, hush mat under rubber mats for
additional sound deadening, R&R heater, seat belts and
jack.
During the restoration the Giulia was upgraded to Veloce spec and
fitted with an AR00121 Sprint Speciale / Veloce engine (#01792)
which was rebuilt, along with the transmission just prior to the
body's restoration. Many original Veloce parts were sourced to
complement and complete the presentation, such as a slightly
earlier plenum cover and correct airbox. Other equipment includes
2000cc head, dual Weber DCOE 40 carburetors, high output Dynalite
generator (correct appearance), restored radiator, new headers and
complete exhaust system. The underside reveals new Koni shocks and
Centerline springs (lowered about 1/2" from stock), oversized sway
bar and bushings, nice brakes, lines, suspension and steering
components. This Alfa was built to drive and display, without
lending any inclination to anything other than a meticulously
pampered and stock Giulia Spider.
Today, the body appears straight with excellent lines and gaps,
glossy paintwork and bright chrome. Still displaying its factory
898 body number stamps on the bonnet, decklid and rear tub - along
with its chassis number across the front firewall. Its canvas top
and vinyl upholstery look quite nice. All trim, instruments and
adornments appear orderly, in proper working order - including
lights, signal and horn. Correct decals and finishes throughout the
car: engine bay, glass, wheels, trunk, etc., accentuate the level
of detail this Giulia possesses.
For those considering a beloved Alfa Spider, this incredibility
versatile and well-presented 1600 Giulia is an outstanding example
for continued enjoyment and collectability. Eligible for display
and global touring events, this striking "Veloce" Spider is ideal
example for both casual enthusiast or seasoned Alfista, and
available now for immediate worldwide purchase and delivery from
