The Sprint Speciale Story: The Bertone-designed Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Speciale first appeared in the Alfa Romeo catalog in 1957. Boasting super-streamlined bodywork, it was highly praised as being visually sensational, bearing a resemblance to some of the most legendary Italian brands earlier competition designs such as the Disco Volante sports racer and the futuristic Berlina Aerodinamica Tecnica show car. Approximately 100 examples of the low-nose version were made in 1957 and 1958, and would be replaced by a second series. The second series of the Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Speciale would see aluminum hood and trunk lids, and the elimination of the previously used aluminum doors and Plexiglas windows. The nose section was modified and the fender lines were raised slightly to conform to U.S. regulations. Bumpers were fitted front and rear, and the interior changed to become more comfortable. This new version was presented at the Geneva Motor Show of 1960. Mechanically, new Weber DCOE2 carburetors were fitted. This new version would remain greatly unchanged until production stopped in 1966.

Its advanced aerodynamics were revolutionary for the era, and the lively twin-cam engine provides a quintessential Alfa Romeo driving experience.

“Good experience overall. Sold a 1972 Alfa Romeo GTV 2000 project car. Hopefully someone will be able to restore it. Communication with Alex and Roxanna was good.”
“After the passing of our mother, we knew it was time to say goodbye to a 1959 Alfa Romeo that my dad never rebuilt. We spoke to Alex directly, he couldn’t have been kinder. We quickly negotiated a price and within hours we had money deposited into our account and the car and parts were picked up 2 days later. Seamless!”
“Alex made the entire process easy and as much as I did want to let the car go. It was time for me. Good luck to the future owner. I would not have a problem buying or sellin a car with Alex again. I fact I might actually buy one.”
“This was a fantastic experience, they can to pick up my car within 24 hours with all money and documents taken care of and a very polite driver! Couldn’t have been happier with the encounter. Thanks!”
“This was my first time working with Alex and his staff. It was one of the best selling experiences I’ve had – from start to end. Everything Alex promised was delivered. After emailing him to see if he had an interest in my ’67 Duetto Barn Find, he got back to me by phone, text, and email immediately – the same day. He made a fair offer, which I accepted, and his staff followed through with exceptional customer service. They stayed in touch throughout the process. Overall, it was a very satisfying, stress free, and enjoyable experience. I’d definitely do business with Alex again, and wish him, his staff, and his company the best, and every success…”
