Buying a 1957 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider

Designed by Pininfarina, the first Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider would debut in 1955 and would remain in that form with little variation until the arrival of the Duetto in 1966. The open two-seat Giulietta Spider, as well as its Berlina and Sprint counterparts, would really establish the Alfa Romeo brand in the minds of many enthusiasts, particularly those in America. Handsome and fun to drive, they also had the performance interest to satisfy the most critical of enthusiast drivers. Although it did not have the independent suspension of its Porsche, Ferrari or Aston Martin counterparts, the handling of these cars was so nimble and predictable that it was a great car for even the beginner sports car driver. The early era Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider models (from 1955 to 1958) are known as the 750 series, while later models (those from 1959 to 1962) are known as the 101 series and offer a 2-inch longer wheelbase. If you’re thinking about buying a 1957 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider, these are the types of Buyer’s Tips and information that The Beverly Hills Car Club can share with their clients and friends.

1957 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Buyer’s Guide

The 1957 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider uses a 1,290cc dual-overhead engine with a single carburetor, while Veloce editions (released from 1956) would offer a dual-carburetor option. Rust is an issue with all early Alfa Romeo classics, and each car should be carefully inspected not only for current rust damage, but also for areas that may have been repaired in the past. The rocker panels and windshield areas are of particular importance. The market for quality Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider models is quite competitive, and a good quality example can command top prices. If you’re thinking about buying a Giulietta Spider from this era, be sure to factor in restoration costs, if any, as some parts and components can be costly and difficult to find. As with all classics, The Beverly Hills Car Club always encourages buyers to have a third party inspection performed by a qualified mechanic that specializes in the type of classic you’re interested in. This will not only give you an idea of the car’s overall condition, but also whether or not it is authentic and original.
