Ludwig Mies Van De Rohe, a famous german/american architect father of the architecture and design minimalism, used to say that “less is more” and that “God is in details”. Unfortunately, both statements don’t fit the purchase of a classic car to restore. What we have here is a wreck of a Giulietta Spider 750 which… Read More Less is less: 1958 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider
There is a big question here: is this car a true Zagato spider or just a cut car which is useless now? Indeed Zagato built just an handful of these cars and how it often happens for these coachbuild specials, it’s difficult to know the exact number of the specimen produced: to be honest, before… Read More Real or experiment: 1968 Lancia Fulvia Spider by Zagato
This early Giulietta Spider carries a three digits chassis number: it is the #250 to have seen the light out of the Portello factory. It was sold new to Hoffmann in NY and then it was white as the old paint on the dashboard tells us; nothing else has remained of that white which was… Read More 250 from launch: 1956 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider
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
Believe it or not, this Giulietta, which has the perfect appearance of a wreck, runs good as the video posted by the seller shows. This shows once again, if proof were needed, the robustness of engines built by Alfa Romeo after the WWII. They were as reliable as the body of these cars were prone… Read More And yet it moves: 1962 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider
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
Hermosa Beach is the city where this car spent most of its life: indeed this 2000 Spider (chassis 102.04.00358) looks very dry and preserved. It is said that its last run was in 1977. Of course 55 years are not few for whatever car, so now this elegant spider needs a total restoration; however there… Read More Muy Hermosa: 1959 Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider by Touring
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
The seller of this beautiful Giulietta Spider (chassis #135) says that it’s a pre-series car as it’s one of the first made and many details differ from the “standard” production: we believe that’s it’s not exactly the truth. Indeed the real pre-series cars (maybe the first 50) had some very different features: at least the… Read More Supposed pre-series: 1956 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider
Too good to be true, that’s the first thing you think at when you see this ad. This car was featured in early 2013 on eBay: the last time we checked it the bids reached $55K the day before the auction end, so we don’t know how and if this car has been sold back… Read More What’s the truth? 1961 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider
