Let’s end this “Abarth week” with a little princess: a rare Record Monza. Rare not just because it’s rare in itself, but because this particular car is one of the very few cars still pushed by the original twin cam engine. The little 750 twin cam (“Bialbero”) was indeed an high powered (in a relative… Read More Yellow bug: 1959 Abarth 750 Record Monza
Two cars built by Allemano are better than just one, so here it is a small roadster built by Allemano, this time using a Fiat 600 chassis. The starting point was, as just said, the Fiat 600 chassis and engine but of course this last one, as a tradition for Abarth, had a little boost… Read More Two in a row: 1958 Abarth 750 Spider by Allemano
It looks like a lot of ’58 Giulietta Spider have decided to jump into the market all together: this is the third one we spot in two weeks and for sure those are not the only ones. Among the three published, this one is the only car in not-driveable conditions: it’s clearly a barn find… Read More No foolish: 1958 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider
Watching a Giulietta Spider in these conditions is quite a rare event as these, as most of you already know, had a natural aptitude for rust. This car (chassis #1495*03563) indeed looks a fantastic survivor which, probably, has seen very few rainy days in its life: of course there is a little rust spot somewhere… Read More Dry to the bone: 1958 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider
There is a long story behind this former Abarth 750 GT Zagato which has been heavily transformed during the past years into an offroad racer. Basically the past owner of this car owned a couple of Ferrari Testarossa (we suppose the 250, of course) with consecutive chassis serial numbers. Those TRs have been sold in… Read More Offroad racer: 1956 Abarth 750 GT by Zagato
The early Giulietta Sprint are the most sought model – of course after the Veloce – even though they had some issues due to some design flaws. The vapor lock was one of those. Early cars like this one had some fuel pump-related issue due to the vapor lock, because the pump was installed on… Read More Vapor lock: 1956 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint
This Giulietta Sprint – project car – is actually primed in black but that’s not a problem as this car is said to be born painted in black: a beautiful and unusual color for a Sprint. By the way ths car belongs to the “interim” series built for a couple of years between the late… Read More Black project: 1959 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint
This late 750 Giulietta Spider (chassis #1495.11180) could have been in better conditions than it is but unfortunately both sides are damaged because of a farm equipment which backed into the car from the driver side. Then the car was pushed on another farm equipment on the passenger side: this carelessness now means a salty bill… Read More Hard farming: 1961 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider
June 19, 2017 Happy ending for this Giulietta Spider. The actual owner from New Zealand, Alan, has sent us some photos of the car undergone a total restoration, almost finished. Photos speak for themselves: the car is now nothing less than spectacular. Thank you Alan for this update! July 30, 2014 The seller of this… Read More Hard times: 1958 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider (update)
This is what remains of a glorious Giulietta Spider Veloce type 750 (chassis #1495F07512): a lot of parts here and there along with a body to restore in deep. However, it seems that everything is here. Even more than ‘everything’ as the future owner and restorer of this Spider will have two engines to choose… Read More Ivory skeleton: 1960 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Veloce
