1966 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint Speciale in San Francisco, California
The bigger engine 1.6 L Giulia series replaced the Giulietta and was introduced at the March 1963 Geneva Motor Show. As Giulietta is the diminutive for Giulia in Italian, the new Giulia name was a wordplay hinting that the new car was a grown-up version of the Giulietta. In spite of a Giulia SS prototype, Alfa Romeo decided to retain the Giulietta-shaped SS in production. The 1,570cc engine made up to 200 km/h (120 mph) possible. The 1,570cc engine with Weber 40 DCOE2 carburetors was taken from Giulia Sprint Veloce and delivered 112 hp of power. The Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint Speciale had disc brakes at it’s front wheels. An easy way to distinguish the Giulia SS from the Giulietta SS is by the dashboard. The Giulia has a leather underside with the glovebox at a different angle than the main fascia. The dashboard in the Giulietta is sloping and painted in one color without a leather underside. Side badges carried “Giulia SS” scripts. Production ended in 1965, with a last single Sprint Speciale completed in 1966. Only 1,400 examples of the Giulia Sprint Speciale were produced.
Rare Euro specification. Later Giulia SS with disc brakes and higher powered 1600cc engine. One of only four Bosforo Blue cars recorded in the Sprint Speciale Register. Original Camel interior. Sold new in July of 1966 in Germany. Detailed ownership documentation back to 1966. Restored and imported into the US in the early 1980’s and stored in a temperature controlled garage since then. Fully rebuilt original engine in excellent running condition. Rebuilt transmission. New tires, new brakes and cleaned fuel system, since coming out of storage.
