THE ALFA ROMEO GIULIA

Sporting elegant coachwork designed and built by Pininfarina, the Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider was a huge success and continued virtually unchanged in 1.6-liter Giulia guise when the latter joined the line-up in 1962. Launched at the Monza Autodrome in June that year, the Giulia range was the work of a design team headed by one of the greatest of Italian automobile engineers, Dr. Orazio Satta Puliga, who had been responsible for all of the post-war Alfa Romeos.

The engine displacement increase from 1,300 to 1,600cc boosted maximum power of Alfa's classic twin-cam four from 80 to 92bhp and the car's top speed to 109mph. Reliability was likewise enhanced and the larger engine was noticeably smoother and less fussy. A five-speed gearbox was standard on the Giulia 1600 Spider, which remained in production until 1966. Described by Cars Illustrated as "probably one of the most delightful small sports cars which will ever be produced," the Giulia Spider is certainly one of the most attractive Alfa Romeos of its day and remains highly regarded now.

THE CAR OFFERED

This wonderful example of Alfa Romeo's classic Spider wears a finely detailed and well-maintained restoration and is prime for driving enjoyment. While the early history is not currently known, this car has clearly been cherished, as the consignor reports that during prior ownership, this Giulia received new paint, new interior and carpeting, a new convertible top, all brightwork was freshly plated, and new rubber seals fitted. The mechanicals were also refreshed to include a renewed braking system, and the current owner has done numerous upgrades to the car both mechanically and aesthetically. The classic Italian Racing Red color lays nice and flat on the Pininfarina Spider bodywork, and the chrome has a appealing shine. Correct silver painted wheels are fitted with appropriate chrome hubcaps wrapped with period-style Vredestein tires. The black seats are complimented by red piping, while authentic Veglia gauges and switchgear, and a beautiful wood rimmed Nardi steering wheel to finish off the cabin details. The black convertible top complements the matching interior quite nicely.

A workshop manual for this car is included with the sale, as well as a spare VDO water bag, and a tool pouch with partial tool kit. This wonderful, stylish, Pininfarina-bodied twin-cam Giulia Spider is an ideal choice for tours or rallies or local and club-level Concours showings. From a legendary era of Italian motoring, these gutsy 1.6-Liter cars offer the classic lines of the original Giulietta with even better performance, glorious sounds, and the precise steering and handling for which these cars are so revered.
