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

Indeed the seller provides many… Read More Taller than usual: 1961 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Speciale
Update, october 24: One day only and the car is gone. October 24 We believed to have found a very good priced Giulia SS here, but we were wrong.

This ’64 SS has two oddities: the banana yellow paint and the right hand drive. Almost surely, the yellow paint was not a factory option but we have no sources to confirm that the lhd wasn’t an option as well. Only the Archivio Storico Alfa Romeo (Alfa Romeo Archive) can make clarity on this point.… Read More Yellow and RHD: 1964 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint Speciale
