Footnotes

Launched in 1963, the Giulia Sprint GT featured classically stylish four-seater coachwork designed by Bertone's Giorgetto Giugiaro, though this was now manufactured not by Bertone but at Alfa's new factory at Arese. Beneath the skin the new coupé utilised the recently introduced 105-Series Giulia TI saloon's five-speed manual gearbox, independent front suspension, coil-sprung live rear axle and - early cars excepted - all round disc brakes.

One of the rarer variants was the limited edition GTC cabriolet, the only four-seater convertible in the Giulietta/Giulia family, only 999 examples of which were produced between 1964 and 1966. Subtly restyled by Touring of Milan, the GTC featured a slightly more sloping tail, larger boot, wind-up rear quarter-lights, and a hood that folded unobtrusively into a recess behind the rear seats. Exhilarating driver's cars, the Sprint GT range was an immense success for Alfa Romeo, enjoying a 14-year production run lasting until 1977.

This rare Giulia GTC is the 84th of 99 right-hand drive models made; the whereabouts of only 12 others are known. According to Alfa Romeo Automobilisimo Storica, '760084 was manufactured in right-hand drive configuration in March 1966 and sold on the 25th of that month to Alfa Romeo UK. The colour scheme is recorded as Hawthorn White with black interior, as the car is presented today. The Alfa comes with a copy buff logbook confirming matching numbers.

'KJJ 213D' was resident in the UK until around seven years ago when it was purchased by a Swiss collector, who added it to his collection in Paris where it received a French registration. While in France the Alfa was maintained well with approximately €20,000 spent on works including a repaint six years ago and more recently a new hood.

The previous keeper, a well-known UK Alfa Romeo dealer, imported the car to the UK, and the current vendors brought the GTC from them. Notably during their ownership, they have successfully retrieved the original registration number from the DVLA. We are advised by the vendors that the GTC is in excellent and very original condition, prepared for sale with a freshly rebuilt gearbox, overhauled brakes, a service and carburettor tune.

The car comes with a history file containing various invoices, a 2015 condition report, and a current V5C document. A must for any Alfa collector, this GTC is lovely to drive, very rare and ready for a new owner to enjoy, it would grace any international collection.
