Differently from the 750 series, it’s harder to distinguish a normal Giulia Sprint from a Veloce. The 750 was immediatly recognizable from the Perspex windows: it indeed had a more aggressive and racing-oriented look. The 101 is more a grand tourer, even if with the heart of a proper Alfa. The seller doesn’t specify if… Read More A different heart: 1962 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint Veloce
For sure this is not the best looking Lotus ever made, but at least you can say that it’s very rare. Few more than 1,500 cars were made and we’re pretty sure that less than the half have survived. It’s however a 1050 kg (2300 pounds) car pushed by an inline-four, twin cam engine which… Read More Ugly duckling: 1977 Lotus Eclat
The seller says that this Giulietta SS has been sold new in Italy and then it was finally imported in UK, where it lives since many years. What it’s clearly visible is that this car is quite tall on the wheels, definitely taller than usual and we can’t understand why. 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 1964 Giulia SS looks good, for sure not a concours car but for sure very far to seem in need of a urgent restoration as… Read More Cheaper is harder: 1964 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint Speciale
Update, october 19 One day has been way enough to sell this car. That’s what we call “a quick sale”. October 18 Apart from GTA’s, the GTV is the rarest model of the Giulia Sprint GT breed: they made it for only two years (’66 and ’67) and in less units than the first series… Read More Grey calls red: 1966 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT Veloce
Update, September 19: after only two days the ad has been removed, probably because the car has been sold. The early bird catches the worm. There’s few to review about this car but what we can say it’s an extremely nice specimen which has been restored for sure not so long ago (probably no earlier… Read More Try to do better: 1964 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint Speciale
Mr. Rapley again amazes us with another barn find: this time is an early Giulietta Sprint (#356) which features some distinctive details like the aluminium hood (later used on the Veloce’s) and the pull-knob starter switch. We only must correct the seller when he says that the only Giulietta Mille Miglia eligible are the ones… Read More 356 but not german: 1955 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint
This Giulietta Sprint 750 is said to have been purchased by the actual seller 7 years ago and, since then, basically no work has been performed on it with the exception of some money and time spent to locate many missing parts. The seller says that the car is dry, with no rust or big… Read More Stay dry: 1957 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint
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
This 1967 Giulia Sprint GT has been heavily modified to make it a GTA tribute. The work performed on this car seems exquisite and without any expense spare. It is actually more a track car than a road one but it could be easily converted to road specifications (if you want to do it). The… Read More Powerful toy: 1967 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA tribute
