There is little that can be done now: in the world of classic cars it is practically impossible to find a Sprint Veloce 750E for sale without “Alleggerita” (ligtweight) being added to its name. We don’t know exactly how this fashion was born, it was certainly a gimmick by the sellers to add charm to… Read More Say my name: 1956 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Veloce
In the end this Giulietta Spider literally applied its name to its philosophy of life: Veloce (“fast”) and therefore destined for racing. There are many cars like this which, since their release at the end of the 1950s, have been converted to racing, mainly by private drivers who considered them ideal for participating in races… Read More White racer: 1959 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Veloce
Here is a true “Barn find”: a car that was parked indoors many, many years ago, not rotten, that was not cannibalized or disassembled and scattered in buckets. And, most of all, belonged to the same guy during the last six decades. This event is even more remarkable because we are talking about an Alfa… Read More Normale from the past: 1956 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider
One of the problems that often happens to those who are restoring a Spider Veloce is the absence of the original engine. There is the possibility of finding them around but often at extremely high prices: here instead we have a cheaper option. The engine is that of a second series Veloce produced starting from… Read More Spare Bialbero: 1960 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Veloce Engine and Transmission
The fact that most Italian classic cars are red is nothing more than a myth built over the years, a myth that has a precise origin. The myth is linked to the fact that until the 1960s, road cars that participated in official races had to have colors established by regulations: red for the Italians,… Read More Humphreys’ car: 1958 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint
We ask ourselves that too. We wonder if this could really be one of only 12 Giulietta Sprints produced in 1954 and, to tell the truth, it would be not the first we see. One is in fact owned by the well-known Italian collector Corrado Lopresto, but it is not the only one we are… Read More 1 of 12: 1954 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint
Of the many Giulietta Spiders we published, very few, indeed probably none (at least as far as we can remember) were black. And when we say black we mean born that way, certainly not repainted in the course of her life. Black is a color that according to me gives a lot to this car:… Read More Black shade: 1960 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Veloce
Although it looks like one of the many Giulietta Spider that you see around, this is a Veloce and it is also the swb version, so it is rarer than you imagine. The most “precious” of this series is that of 1957 as it seems, at least by consulting Fusi’s book, that in the first… Read More Short and grey: 1958 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Veloce
We do not know if this specimen is one of the last with a short wheelbase or one of the first with a long wheelbase, the only thing we know is that it needs a lot of work. Although, to be honest, the most important work to do on this specimen is to understand which… Read More Red puzzle: 1959 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider
Sold new and aged in the same place, this could be the short story of this Giulietta Sprint. It is in fact a specimen which, although it is not rare in itself (in relative terms, of course) has the rarity of having been sold new in Rome in 1965, and has remained in the Italian… Read More Roman citizen: 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint
