Of course when most people are asked to imagine the color of an Alfa Romeo or a Ferrari, red is the first color which comes to mind. Fact is that red was barely used on road cars, both Alfa and Ferrari, mostly because it was considered (at least in Italy) a “Crude” shade for a… Read More Green becomes red: 1966 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT Veloce
The world of the classic cars nuts is basically split in two major parties: Alfa Romeo and Porsche. Of course Ferraris are so unaffordable that many don’t consider them a goal even if they should live ten times in a row, so the prancing horse is admired everywhere but actually is not considered a car but… Read More Alfa’s never enough
Of course rust often wins, but it has no chance to finish its work on a Sprint Speciale. This Giulia has seen for sure better days: what we have here is a car neglected and cannibalized for decades before someone has spotted her somewere and so now she’s waiting for someone brave who’s willing to… Read More Rust can’t win: 1964 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint Speciale
Here it is another Giulia Spider Veloce (AR 390539) which, as the seller says, has rust. But we suppose that no reader is particularly scared from rust: otherwise they would follow a blog called “Modern Virus”. However, when you find a car like this the first concern is not rust: unless the car has been… Read More Tired but clean: 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider Veloce
When we saw this GT Veloce, in such condition, for sale at the actual asking price, we thought that the seller was gone nut; then we saw what hides under the bonnet. The car is basically a GT Veloce which had some reshuffles during its life, the front grille and trim is from a GT Junior,… Read More Twin spark inside: 1967 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT Veloce
This is another example about how we are just custodian of these cars, which will survive to us for many years to come. This Giulia Spider Veloce has been bought by a US serviceman in Vienna back in 1966, and then he carried this car home in central US. probably that soldier is not anymore… Read More Tougher than life: 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider Veloce
Update, February 8: As reader Frans says, this is not a Veloce but a Normale with Veloce parts. Actually, as the seller himself says, the car is in The Netherlands since 1965 so it was delivered new elsewhere. Moreover, from the photos can be easily spotted the greel plate so we can’t really understand what’s… Read More Always dutch: 1962 Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider
It’s the first time we see a Giulia Spider with wire wheels: ok we don’t like it much but it’s for sure a curious spotting. Indeed back then Borrani used to sell wire wheels kit for Alfa Romeo: of course there were some modifications to do on the wheels hubs but for sure such modifications are… Read More Never with wires: 1963 Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider
Once again the build year of this car doesn’t match our knowledge: indeed we know that the GT Veloce was built during a couple of years, from 1966 to 1967. However, everything (visible) seems to match with the specs of the Veloce model, unfortunately there are no photos of interiors or undercarriage. The only interior photo portraits… Read More Black stepnose: 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT Veloce
This is “just” a type 101 Giulia Sprint, but it has been put down in a very pleasant way: the only thing that it needs is to be driven, nothing else. It was sold new in Milano in March 1960 and there it stayed until someone bring it to UK: there it has been overhauled… Read More Just drive: 1960 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint
