Lot 260: 1966 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT

Alfa Romeo, Italy's oldest sporting marque, has been building cars since 1910. They produced some of the greatest machinery ever to be seen pre-war, such as the beautiful 1750 Zagato roadsters, the magnificent Monzas and the mighty P3 racing cars.With the advent of the 1950s Alfa Romeo was forced to rationalise its production in order to survive financially. Nonetheless the firm still maintained a strong sporting tendency, and a model was always available to satisfy the whims of Alfa's affluent young customers; such a car was the 1600 GT, styled by Bertone. The new Giulia coupes included a "normal" Sprint GT model as well as a more powerful Veloce version and a rare cabriolet, the GTC. Standard specification included all-round disc brakes and a powerful (106bhp) four cylinder, dual overhead cam engine. Production lasted until a revised range appeared in 1968. Manufactured in 1966 this particular Sprint is a special edition commemorating Alfa Romeo's 40th anniversary. AR612304 is finished in white and is in very good condition. The 1600 twin cam engine is in fine order and as you would expect revs freely. With the five speed gearbox and fine handling chassis these little cars are great fun on country roads, often out handling and performing modern cars. AR612304 is supplied with Italian registration documents.Dieser Giulia Sprint entstammt einer 1966 gebauten Sonderedition zum 40jhrigen Jubilum der Mailander Firma.
