This 1956 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Veloce, chassis number AR 1493/E 02508, is a truly exceptional example with an illustrious racing history. Originally gifted to Jo Bonnier, a prominent Swedish Formula One driver and member of the influential Bonnier family, this car was used for competition in various European races. Bonnier, who was the first Swede to win a Formula One Grand Prix, drove this Alfa to victory in his class at the Berlin Grand Prix on the legendary AVUS circuit, a moment immortalized in a stunning photograph of the car on the track’s steep banking.

Beyond Bonnier, the car was also campaigned by Swedish driver Olle Rehnvall, who secured numerous class wins in ice racing events and the Swedish Tourist Trophy during the early 1960s. After remaining in Sweden for decades, the car changed hands in 2012 and underwent a meticulous two-year restoration. While the original engine had been replaced, the car now features a correct type 1,290 cc Sprint Veloce engine from 1957, enhancing its performance.

The car was later acquired by the late Alain de Cadenet, a celebrated Alfisti and former Le Mans racer, known for his deep appreciation of Italian sports cars. With only around a little percentage of the original 200 Veloce 750E models surviving, this car’s extraordinary provenance, combined with its historic competition use, makes it a rare and highly desirable collector’s piece. Eligible for prestigious events like the Mille Miglia and Le Mans Classic, this Alfa Romeo offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of racing history.
