Look, a white Alfa Romeo repainted in red: that’s strange, isn’t it? Sarcasm aside, this has been the fate of most Italian classic cars over the decades. As is evident from the Italian newspaper clipping dated 1964, the reality is that in those years only 5% of the cars registered in Italy were red (a… Read More Red over white: 1959 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint
Yes, the displacement of this Sprint is very unusual as this particular model was only produced between 1960 and 1961 in about 700 units and is therefore very rare, much more than its sister with a displacement of 2600cc produced in a number ten times greater. We can in fact imagine how many of these… Read More Unusual displacement: 1961 Alfa Romeo 2000 Sprint
This is the story, somehow already heard before, of a Giulietta Sprint which, together with four other Alfa Romeos, was buried in a warehouse forty years ago. It is all well explained in this article by Hagerty dating back to last June. Long story short: forty years ago the owner of these cars died and… Read More 40 years entombed: 1959 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint
In the production history of Alfa Romeo, the letter E indicated the “Veloce” model of the Giulietta Sprint, however it was not always this way. If in fact this is true (but with Alfa Romeo you can never be 100% sure) as regards the Veloce of the first 750 series, the subsequent 101 series had… Read More The E letter: 1960 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Veloce
We know very well that this is not a “precious” Sprint Veloce first series, however it is still a special car and no less rare than the first. This is because rather than opting for the small – although performing – 1300 cc, customers turned to the Giulia which, having the 1600 cc engine, had… Read More Golden hour: 1962 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Veloce
March 9 update Following the request of Roberto, the owner and seller of this beautiful Veloce, we add more photos of the car and we also report the text in Italian: “Alfa Romeo GIULIA SPIDER VELOCE (1600), costruita Aprile 1965, esemplare # 707 di 1091 unità prodotte nel 1964/65, colore biancospino 013/selleria fintapelle elastica nera… Read More Seller submission: 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider Veloce
Alfa Romeo enthusiasts are well aware that the Giulietta Sprint Veloce 750 was a car destined for driving “purists”, but not everyone knows that a “softer” small series was made of this model. It was in fact called “Confortevole” (which clearly means “comfortable”) because the Veloce version was softened by the addition of some details… Read More The softer version: 1958 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Veloce Confortevole
We are sincere, we did not know. We didn’t know that Triumph had ever produced a four-valve motor per cylinder, moreover installed on a mass-produced car, and here it is. The Dolomite, in this version called Sprint, was born to face the rivals of the time, the sedans with a sporting vocation like the BMW… Read More Early four valves: 1975 Triumph Dolomite Sprint
A very long name for a car that, in spite of what one might imagine, is quite rare. In fact this medium-sized car (for the American market of the time, of course, since it is only “4.6” / 181 in. Long) was the “small” of the Ford and generally equipped with a six-cylinder in-line engine,… Read More Unpainted: 1963 Ford Falcon Futura Sprint Convertible
The Giulietta Sprint 101, like the specimen object of our article, are much rarer than what you can think of. This was probably because it was more easy to orientate towards a Giulia which, with its 1600 cc engine, ensured even higher performance, with greater reliability and, above all, with a more “gentle” power delivery… Read More Bluette 101: 1961 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Veloce
