We would never have thought that after World War II Alfa Romeo cars were also purchased in Australia, but evidently the brand’s coat of arms had also reached the other side of the world. This Freccia d’Oro was in fact delivered new in Australia, but it seems that little is known about the very first… Read More Australian delivered: 1949 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Sport Freccia d’Oro
Virgilio Conrero is one of those people linked to the car world who, even if they have never acquired the popularity of the big names, have nevertheless left their mark among enthusiasts. His career as a car tuner (and often builder) was born from a tragic event: an explosion in his father’s company on the… Read More The other bull: 1960 Conrero-Alfa Romeo Barchetta
We were amazed to see a Duetto in silver: it was a factory color code (AR728), however it is rare to find one that was born in this color. And in fact, this specimen, according to the seller, was born in white. The seller also says the car has been repainted by the previous owner… Read More Silver streak: 1969 Alfa Romeo Duetto
Since most of the Giulietta Spider 750s have been recovered (indeed, almost all of those that were not reduced to a pile of rusted sheet metal without an engine), it is very unlikely today to find a good 750 to restore. But unlikely does not mean impossible and in fact here is one that not… Read More Good start: 1958 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Veloce
Let’s stay in France also today as we found a very interesting car, both in terms of model and price. The Duetto 1750, in fact, with the type 541 engine, was the latest evolution of that iconic car made famous by the film “The Graduate”, starring Dustin Hoffman: in the case of the film it… Read More Think green: 1969 Alfa Romeo Duetto 1750
This is the story, somehow already heard before, of a Giulietta Sprint which, together with four other Alfa Romeos, was buried in a warehouse forty years ago. It is all well explained in this article by Hagerty dating back to last June. Long story short: forty years ago the owner of these cars died and… Read More 40 years entombed: 1959 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint
It’s an Alfa Romeo, it’s rare, it’s convertible, it’s a barn find: each of these four elements, taken alone, is worthy of consideration, let alone if taken all together. As for the history of this car, we literally report the seller’s description which is detailed and clarifying: “The first recorded owner of this Pinin Farina… Read More Three nations army: 1952 Alfa Romeo 1900C Cabriolet by Pininfarina
In the production history of Alfa Romeo, the letter E indicated the “Veloce” model of the Giulietta Sprint, however it was not always this way. If in fact this is true (but with Alfa Romeo you can never be 100% sure) as regards the Veloce of the first 750 series, the subsequent 101 series had… Read More The E letter: 1960 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Veloce
The “big spiders” produced entirely in Milan took longer than the Giulietta to enter the hearts of the fans of the brand, but now their value has far exceeded their smaller sisters. Obviously what has been said is valid under the same conditions: the 2000 version (or type 102) of the Touring-bodied spiders is, from… Read More Empty heart: 1960 Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider by Touring
Strange to say but after ten years of mining everything that was even barely restorable, something still pops up and attracts a lot of the attention of the miners. This is the turn of a Giulietta SS – one of the blue chips in the classic car market – on which the 50% of the… Read More Grey shark: 1960 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Speciale
