This example was the subject of a restoration some 20+ years ago, we hold some information on that process.
Sporting elegant coachwork designed and built by Pininfarina, the 1.3-litre Giulietta Spider was a huge success and continued virtually unchanged in 1.6-litre Giulia guise when the latter joined the Alfa line-up in 1962.
Launched at the Monza Autodrome on 27th June that year, the Giulia 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 the post-war Alfa Romeos.
A bonnet air scoop, necessary to clear the larger engine’s taller block, readily identified the new model. The capacity increase boosted maximum power of Alfa’s classic twin-cam four from 60Kw to 68Kw and the car’s top speed to 175kph.
Reliability was likewise enhanced and the larger engine was noticeably smoother and less fussy. A five-speed gearbox was standard on the Giulia Spider, which remained in production until replaced by the Duetto in 1966.
Towards the end of production, in 1964, the up-rated Spider Veloce was introduced, which came with the Sprint Speciale’s 129bhp engine installed, making it the fastest of the mainstream production Giulias.
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, especially in its ultimate Veloce specification.
Powered by a 1.6 Litre twin cam 4 cylinder engine, it produced when new 68Kw of power and delivered to the rear wheels via a 5 speed manual gearbox. Performance figures suggest 0-100kph in 10.2 secs and a top speed near 175kph.
Surely one of the sweetest looking sportscars from Alfa Romeo in years, this example in it’s original LHD and matching numbers form is just so irresistible. Now a very collectable item.
