A Rare Opportunity to Acquire a Benchmark Giulietta Spider
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 auto enthusiasts. Simply put they
are an absolute blast to drive and coveted by rally/tour
drivers.
Chassis AR167256 displays a condition rarely seen, one which should
be considered an education. Purchased new by Richard W. Olsen of
Rochester, NY on September 16, 1961 the car would travel the
majority of its 27k miles in its early years, evident by a still
attached door jamb AMOCO servicing tag dated September 2, 1967 and
25,700 miles. Further evidence that this car was a cherished by its
original owner is a AutoRama event like photo found in the glove
box and dated Feb 1971. The car has remained in the same family
since, now registered to the Mr. Olsen's son also residing in
NY.
Today the car remains a preservation masterpiece; the paint has a
correct patina with consistent paint meter readings throughout
(pictured), with only a minor repair evident on the passenger side
door. The gaps and shut lines are excellent and the brightwork is
in good condition. The original SALCHI paint sticker remains
attached and the PininFarina body number "263" is found stamped on
the hood, rear bonnet, and trunk floor. All glass is original as is
the soft top and plastic window which shows its age. The
originality theme continues on the interior which remains in
stunning condition with firm seat padding wrapped in excellent
vinyl, well preserve carpeting/mats, and vinyl door panels.
Perhaps the most impressive details are found in the engine bay
which retains original clamps, wiring, and hardware including the
Lucas equipment, SOLEX carburetor, airbox, I.P.R.A radiator and
8/60 dated ZF steering rack. The underside of the car remains
intact with original undercoating and hardware. The floors remain
excellent with abnormally straight and solid jack points at all
four corners.
While the Guilietta is not currently running the motor turns freely
by hand. An excellent example to perform a thorough mechanical
servicing and enjoy in as-is preserved condition.
