When you see a mirror-like glossy paint finish on a car that’s 50 years old or more, and someone tries to pass it off as the original paint, show them this photo. We don’t deny that there may be exceptions to the rule, but the truth is that the lead-based paints used back then don’t… Read More Dull pine: 1970 Alfa Romeo GT Junior
It’s the end of an era. We don’t know if this will mark the beginning of a new one, but the closing of Joop Stolze’s business—“The Mad Hatter”—the Dutchman well known across Europe for his decades-long activity, has come as a shock to many, starting with us. His is a name that every classic car… Read More The ultimate auction: The Joop Stolze collection
Another Alfa, another Spider—but this time, it’s the mother of the one we featured two days ago: a Giulietta. Not perfect, of course, but more than enough to enjoy the good weather. It also comes in a classic color combination for this model: white with red interior—an all-time classic, no less timeless than red, which… Read More Snow white: 1959 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider
The seller of this beautiful 1750 Spider (also known as the “Graduate,” a name borrowed from the 1967 masterpiece film of the same name, starring a brilliant Dustin Hoffman) says the car is in original condition. He states that it has never been in an accident or repaired, that it has zero rust, and that… Read More Cromodora wheels: 1969 Alfa Romeo Spider 1750
No, with this post we’re not suggesting that anyone take on the restoration of this Spider, which would make no sense economically, given that the point of no return for the bodywork was passed at least twenty years ago. It would be a $100,000 restoration that, after a couple of years, would give you a… Read More You tow: 1969 Alfa Romeo Spider 1750
Have you ever seen a first-series Giulietta Sprint Veloce with a sunroof? We haven’t, and that’s precisely why we’re featuring it. The seller says this could be one of only three produced with this feature. We’re not sure where that information comes from, but we have no trouble believing it, given that, to our knowledge,… Read More Sun-kissed: 1957 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Veloce
One of the approximately 2,000 Spider by Touring has resurfaced for sale after a 25-year slumber. It’s not in great condition, but we’ve seen worse—much worse. In fact, unlike many we’ve come across (including one we restored to an excellent aesthetic result, though financially disastrous), this car doesn’t seem to have been seriously affected by… Read More Ready for a new life: 1962 Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider by Touring
This Giulietta Spider offers an attractive package for its future owner: it is a short-wheelbase model, originally painted black with red interior, and most importantly, it is one of the first 100 units produced—specifically chassis number 56. Moreover, its future owner will have the unique bragging rights of owning a car built in the same… Read More #56: 1956 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider
The Giulietta Spider is an icon of the automotive world, alongside other cars such as the FIAT 500, the Porsche 356/911, teh Volkswagen Beetle, the Jaguar E-Type, and a few others. In particular, we’re talking about a Tipo 750, also known as the “Passo Corto” or SWB. By now, there are very few left to… Read More Normale: 1958 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider

Designed by Bertone, this lightweight model features aluminum components for the hood, trunk lid, door panels, bumpers, headlight bezels, intake manifold, oil pan, and wheels.
