The Appeal

Penned by Pininfarina and powered by Alfa Romeo's charismatic twin-cam inline four, the Giulietta Spider set the template for the elegant Italian roadster and remains a hugely desirable collector's car to this day. As sleek as anything else on the road, with nimble handling and supple suspension, it's arguably this car that set the template for everything dedicated Alfisti love about the marque.

This 1958 example has benefited from an extensive restoration in recent years, which reportedly left no stone unturned. The seller proudly notes its superb condition, which they say is better than when it left the factory. It wears the rare and striking 'Celeste Pininfarina blue', which is stated to be the original colour. Originally a US-market car, it's since enjoyed a comfortable life in Belgium.

If you're a admirer of the Giulietta Spider, and who isn't, this fabulous car ticks all the boxes.

The Condition

Beautifully finished post-restoration
Finished in the rare 'Celeste Pininfarina blue', stated to be the original colour
Bodywork fully restored
Brightwork re-chromed and presenting well
Re-upholstered to a high standard

The sleek, rounded curves, distinctive grille and subtle fins make for a truly eye-catching machine. It's little wonder we still find these sports cars so endlessly evocative.

Beautifully finished from top to bottom, this eye-catching Giulietta is a handsome ambassador indeed. The restoration has clearly been painstaking, with the paintwork refreshed, the brightwork polished and the cabin re-upholstered. The result speaks for itself; we don't often see an Alfa of any age finished to this quality.

The Mechanics

1,290cc inline four-cylinder engine
4-speed manual transmission
Fully overhauled
New axles
New brakes
New wiring loom

The 1.3-litre Giulietta was the first of Alfa Romeo's stable, and is still more than capable of thrilling anyone behind the wheel, thanks in no small part to that sonorous twin-cam soundtrack and the car's low-to-the-bitumen, nimble nature.

This example's engine bay is in excellent order, with plenty of investment proudly on display. Elsewhere, the car has new brakes, new axles and a new wiring loom. The seller tells us the car is in fine mechanical health and running exactly as it should.
