For sale by auction on Saturday 06 June 2015 with Historics at Brooklands. Brooklands Motor Racing Circuit. Weybridge. Surrey. Call 01753 639170
We are delighted to offer this Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider
which. according to the Alfa Romeo Historic Archive in Arese. br/>Milan. was manufactured on 19th November 1957 with the original
body colour of white. and was sold on 21st March 1958 in Melegnano. br/>Milan.

Today. this Giulietta sports red coachwork. a change from its
original white. and carried out sometime in its earlier life. On
inspection. it appears straight and rust free and although applied
some years ago. the finish still looks smart. The engine bay is
finished in black and gives away the original colour in places.
Mechanically. the original 1290cc engine has been replaced with a
later 1290cc Berlina block (a common change in period) mated to the
standard four-speed gearbox. An early. rare and sought after
cylinder head is fitted and fuelled via twin DCO3 sand cast Weber
carburettors. As the historic racing fraternity knows. these
carburettors are in very high demand and if a set can be found. The
engine is also of interest in that it has an early cylinder head
with the fuel pump located and driven off the exhaust camshaft. The
chrome work does require some renovation and the wheels look
original and untouched.
Looking inside. the interior is in good condition and the hood. on
removing it from its stowage. operates correctly and is in good
order. A large history file accompanies this Giulietta and includes
early Giulietta Register club magazines. many magazine articles and
cuttings with road test reports from Autocar. Motor and Road and
Track and an original Alfa Romeo spare parts catalogue. A large
quantity of invoices and notes from its early days in the UK also
give a fascinating insight into the car. including records from the
well known Alfa Romeo racing driver of the period. John Dooley of
Brookside Garage. It also benefits from an MoT test
certificate valid until 9th September 2015.

The Giulietta's V5 records the car as having first been registered
in October 1996. and in fact the car has been in long-term
ownership since then. However a sales invoice from 6th
December 1974 suggests the car has been in the UK since 1974; as
does a letter from Alfa Romeo (Great Britain) Ltd dated 21st June
1976. stating that the car is to Spider Veloce configuration.

If you can look past this Spider's imperfections. you should be
able to see a fabulous and rare. pre 1960. short wheelbase
Giulietta that all too infrequently comes onto the
market.
