THE ALFA ROMEO GIULIA
Sporting elegant coachwork designed and built by Pininfarina, the Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider was a huge success and continued virtually unchanged in 1.6-liter Giulia guise when the latter joined the line-up in 1962. Launched at the Monza Autodrome in June that year, the Giulia range was the work of a design team headed by one of the greatest of Italian automobile engineers, Dr. Orazio Satta Puliga, who had been responsible for all the post-war Alfa Romeos.
The engine displacement increase from 1,300 to 1,600cc boosted maximum power of Alfa's classic twin-cam four from 80 to 92bhp and the car's top speed to 109mph. Reliability was likewise enhanced and the larger engine was noticeably smoother and less fussy. A five-speed gearbox was standard on the Giulia 1600 Spider, which remained in production until 1966. Described by Cars Illustrated as "probably one of the most delightful small sports cars which will ever be produced," the Giulia Spider is certainly one of the most attractive Alfa Romeos of its day and remains highly regarded now.
THE MOTORCAR OFFERED
The early history of this wonderful example of Alfa Romeo's classic Spider remains vague but picks up by the mid-1980s when it is known to have been owned by Minnesota-resident Mr. John R. Benoit, before being owned by Floridian enthusiast Mr. Barry Brooks by the 1990s. While owned by Mr. Brooks the Giulia Spider was treated to much restoration work by marque specialist Tom Zat of Alfa Heaven. Today the Alfa Romeo displays what appears to be a well-done restoration which has aged gracefully. The classic Italian Racing Red color lays nice and flat on the Pininfarina Spider bodywork, and the chrome has a nice shine to it. Correct silver painted wheels are fitted with appropriate chrome hubcaps wrapped on appropriate Michelin tires. The black interior is complimented by the right Veglia gauges and switchgear, and a period-correct engraved ashtray is fitted on the tunnel, surely a well-used option when these cars were new! A massive ring binder customized for this car is included with the sale, which includes a spare parts catalog, much documentation including copies of old titles and ownership documents, and an abundance of old receipts from restoration, service and maintenance work done.
Here is a wonderful, stylish, Pininfarina-bodied twin-cam Giulia Spider, an ideal choice for tours or rallies or local Concours showings. From a legendary era of Italian motoring, these later 1.6-Liter cars offer the classic lines of the original Giulietta with brisk performance, great sounds, and the precise steering and handling these cars are so revered for.
