Swiss white: 1958 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Veloce “Confortevole”

sv3

In 1958, when the production of the first Sprint Veloce ended, Alfa Romeo planned the production of a small batch of cars (more or less 200) with slightly different features.

These 750E series had indeed the same engine of the first SV, fed by a couple of Weber DCO3 carburetors, but mated with some more “civilized” features among which there were a couple of “regular” door windows (still made of Perspex), and bigger headlights.

This particlar car (chassis #AR1493E*06481, engine #AR1315*30972) was sold new in the U.S. by Hoffman Motor Co. but had a full restoration in Germany between 2008 and 2010 and seems almost flawless: it still has a set of Borrani Bimetallici (two-metals) rims, immaculate interiors and an engine bay which is almost at a concours level. Only the tires look undersized but that’s not a defect at all. Find it for sale at €148,000 (today $158,000) here in Zurich, Switzerland.

  1. This car is listed in the Giulietta Sprint Veloce Register. There is a page of older photographs and a bit of history. I just updated the page to show this information and photos. Thank you for posting this car!

  2. You are correct in that there are pages that are not working. I am in the process of adding a lot more cars to the registers (4) so that is taking my time. When I changed servers some time back some of the links didn’t make it over. So I will get on the index page and check the links. Also I am finding some of the old coding from when I first started is not working, so a lot of the pages are being totally rewritten. Interesting to see how the registers have evolved in my own file keeping system of now about 800 cars world wide.
