Vehicle Description
1958 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Veloce SpiderRed with Black InteriorThe Giulietta, and later the Giulia are the cars that took Alfa Romeo from being a relatively small production company to being an economically viable and successful firm. Prior to that, they had produced large and expensive cars, and never in very large numbers. With the Giulietta/Giulia, however, Alfa Romeo produced significant numbers of these charming and capable cars. Its success was due in part to its unique placement in the market. It was neither a large hugely expensive car, nor was it very small utility car (such as the Fiat 500). Instead, they were affordable enough so that many could buy them, yet permitted a more glamorous and useful approach to motoring that really struck a chord with buyers on both sides of the Atlantic. The GiuliettaVeloce enjoys the honor of being the highest performing and most developed open variant of the 1300cc line, thanks to its venerable twin cam engine, twin Weber carburetors, higher compression ratio, and hotter cam profiles. Performance was much improved over the standard cars.This car has nice driver level cosmetics, with attractive paintwork over a straight and solid body. and comes with the factory hardtop. There are a few minor surface blemishes and chips, but the overall impression the car makes is strong. Most of the chrome is in very good condition, with minor swirls. The door handles and trunk handle both display some pitting. The lights and glass are in excellent shape.. The car wears yellow California Year of Manufacture plates.The interior is excellent overall the carpets and upholstery are excellent. . The dashboard is in nice shape, and the instruments are excellent, with none of the yellowing that typically affects these cars. The steering wheel isalso very nice, with a few hairline cracks to the steering wheel rim and an excellent horn button.The engine compartment is tidy and well-maintained in appearance. It is not quite detailed for show, but is extremely clean and about as nice as one would want for a driver. The trunk was repainted at some point and a new rubber floor mat fitted as well.The car is a particularly nice driving example, with a responsive motor with good oil pressure. The 5-speed gearbox is also very nice, with properly functioning synchromesh and linkage. The brakes inspire confidence and the suspension and chassis are tight and solid.This is an excellent opportunity to acquire a genuine Giulietta Veloce that is an ideal example to use and enjoy. . This particular example makes a strong cosmetic impression but isnt too nice to use, and has benefitted from extensive recent work to bring it to its current well-sorted condition. Financing is available with approved credit. Inspection and transportation services are also available.
