1960 Sprint Speciale: The Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Speciale, or Giulietta SS, was modeled after Franco Scaglione and Bertones three futuristic B.A.T show cars designed between 1953 and 1955. One of the most interesting qualities of this unique design is its aerodynamics. In fact, the 1960 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Speciale (and other model-years) has a drag coefficient of only 0.29, which is particularly low even by todays standards. Making its debut at the 1957 Turin Motor Show, this Bertone-designed Coupe offered a forward-thinking curvature that captivated the hearts of Alfa Romeo enthusiasts and sports car lovers alike. Just 1,366 examples of the Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Speciale would be built between 1957 and 1962. Power would be offered from a 1,290cc dual overhead cam four-cylinder engine with dual Weber sidedraft carburetors for 100hp and a top speed of approximately 120mph. Buying a 1960 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Speciale can be quite an exciting time; however, it is always best to partner with a classic car expert that can assist you in evaluating your potential purchase.
One of the biggest concerns associated with buying a 1960 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Speciale is rust. The floorpans are notorious for having rust damage, as well as rocker panels and doorsills. While some rust may not deter you from purchasing and restoring a Sprint Speciale, especially because of raising prices for properly restored examples, you should attempt to find a well-bodied example within your price range. This can save you thousands of dollars and man-hours when it comes time to start the restoration process. On the other hand, if youre looking for a classic Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Speciale in mint-condition, there should be no rust damage and any areas of rust repair should be unnoticeable. To ensure you have the best overall picture of any potential purchase including mechanics, electrical and body be sure to seek the assistance of a qualified Alfa Romeo mechanic or classic car expert. The Beverly Hills Car Club team can connect you to a professional in your area. These are just a few of the many Buyers Tips that the team has learned over their years of dealing with classic Alfa Romeos.
A: The 1960 Giulietta SS represents the model hitting its production rhythm. By this year, the design and specifications (Tipo 101.20) were largely standardized, incorporating features like the ‘high nose’ for regulatory compliance (especially in markets like the US), steel doors, and proper bumpers, making it more user-friendly than the initial prototypes. It embodies the definitive look and feel of the Giulietta SS as most enthusiasts know it, produced before the later transition to the larger-engined Giulia SS. It offers the pure SS experience with established production refinements.

“My contact with Alex was unsolicited. I found his website by searching for persons dealing in the purchase and sale of Alfa Romeo GTV 2000’s. I asked if he was interested in purchasing my 1974 GTV 2000, he said yes, he sent his representative (David) out the following day. David took numerous pictures of the entire vehicle and texted them to Alex. David was courteous, respectful and professional. After his review, Alex and I agreed on a price and the deal was completed. It was that quick and that simple. I couldn’t be more satisfied with the entire interaction.”
“Jesse is a clear, prompt communicator–excellent and informed.”
“The experience was GREAT. Very easy, quick and professional vs “is it still available”. I put it in gear on Monday, on Thursday the funds were in the account and Sunday the Alfa was in a trailer heading to its new home. THANK YOU !!”
“I acquired my Alfa Romeo Giulia 1600 Spider with thoughts of completing it’s restoration and getting it back on the road. But time went by, and the Alfa kept waiting. Now at 84 years old I’ve decided I need to let go of the Giulia so it can finally have another chance with someone who will also enjoy it. I sold it to The Beverly Hills Car Club. It was very easy, quick, and pleasant working with everyone there; their flatbed truck driver arrived at our home and worked with care to load the car and all its parts. I recommend them highly.”
