Vehicle Description
-Grey with Crema leather interior and Crema carpets, Restored, 1.6
liter engine, 5-speed manual.
Alfa Romeo introduced the Giulietta in 1954 and fitted it with a
downsized 1290cc twin-cam engine, gaining an alloy cylinder block
in the process. The original Bertone-styled Sprint Coupe was soon
joined by Berlina (saloon) and Spider (open) versions. In 1957, the
Sprint Speciale was introduced, they were built on a slightly
shorter wheelbase and again wore coachwork by Bertone. The engine
offered a spirited 100 BHP and was mated to a five-speed gearbox.
Top speed was in the neighborhood of 125 mph. The SS was small,
lightweight, compact, aerodynamically efficient and very powerful
its size. In total, just 1,366 examples were produced by the time
the model was superseded in 1963 by the 1600cc Giulia version, it's
new bigger bother. The new model was outwardly distinguishable from
the SS by identifying tail script, different sidelights and a
revised dashboard. Between 1963 and 1965, 1,399 examples of the
Bertone-bodied Giulia Sprint Speciales were built.
A fully restored Sprint Speciale restored to very high standard,
leaving no screw or bolt unturned. It is in concours condition
throughout and drives as good as it looks. This Alfa will be at
home both on the road and concours lawn.
From the elegantly trimmed interior to lively performance to
exquisite Bertone design, these Alfa Sprint Speciales have become
one of the most collectible and desirable post-war Alfa Romeos in
the market today. Comes complete with two sets of keys, book,
tools, jack, spare and custom car cover.
