This car is in auction on The Market website. The auction is now LIVE. The price shown is the lower estimate.

All bidding takes place on The Market (see photos for web address), plus you will find further text, over 90 photos/video fully illustrating the car and its service history, and the ability to ask questions directly to the seller. The text below is just a brief summary of our full description.

This car has a bit of an intriguing background with the date of manufacture being 1964. The car however, wasn't apparently registered until 1967, conjuring up thoughts of the car sitting on a dealer forecourt for a few years perhaps, or maybe someone purchased it as a very pretty driveway ornament, we'll never know. Just to put your mind at ease however, Alfa Romeo have confirmed that the car was indeed registered on the 7th July 1964 with no explanation for the gap on the original green logbook, so you can sigh a sigh of relief and continue to ponder on the early life this car has experienced.

Not wanting to stop the intrigue there, the engine in this car also comes with an interesting story. The unit is a Giulia one of the correct specifications however it is for a Ti of the same period. Apparently, Alfa were a bit ‘fast and loose' with their exports, however, it is safe to assume this engine was a replacement, the long-term owner also reconditioned the engine in the 1980's and even wrote a feature on it for the club magazine, it still runs sweetly to this day.

The rich history of this car doesn't stop there, with this car being somewhat of a celebrity in Giulietta owners circles having been owned by a long-time enthusiast for nearly 40 years. This owner re-registered the car in 1984 after being so fed up with the confusion relating to its early life. Due to this the paperwork says two owners but this is only since 1984, there is also paperwork documenting the re-registration. That owner was an accomplished restorer of several Alfas at the time, so this little Giulia has been in the best of hands during its life.

To continue with the incredible story this car has, that owner (who only put 4000 miles on the car in their 40-year ownership) sold the car to the person who bought his house until the current owner purchased it in 2019. The car is MoT exempt now but has over 30 MoT certificates in the long-term owner's name, who looked after the car so well, that when the current owner took the Spider for an MoT ready for sale ,the only issues were wonky headlights and a sticky handbrake, both of which were fixed there and then and the Spider was sent off with a shiny new 12-month MoT certificate.

The current owner is presenting the car for auction due to being bitten by the Alfa bug (it's a real thing you know) and is subsequently looking at another car from the manufacture's ‘back catalogue' of greatest hits.
