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 a blueprint for originality and preservation.
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 touch up respray 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.
Offered in as discovered condition the engine has been started
using an alternate fuel source, though a mechanical servicing is
needed prior to road use. Ideal and completely solid example to
service and enjoy and show in as-is preserved condition.
