Vehicle Description
The Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Speciale made its debut in 1957 at
the Turing Auto Salon on October 30th. The coupe wore a
forward-thinking design from Carrozzeria Bertone which was clearly
inspired by the mid-1950s Berlina Aerodinamica Technica - show cars
created by Bertone to study aerodynamics.
Just 1,366 examples of the Sprint Speciales were built between 1957
and 1962.
This example was delivered new in Italy and subsequently imported
to the United States. A thorough restoration began in 1987 and was
completed in 2012. It total, more than $25,000 was spent on the
vehicle in the last four years of the work. Since the work was
completed, it has traveled just a few hundred miles.
Power is from a 1290cc dual overhead cam four-cylinder engine
fitted with dual Weber Sidedraft carburetors. The 116 horsepower
produced by the powerplant is sent to the rear wheels via a
five-speed manual gearbox. Drum brakes are at all four corners.
