A right-hand drive (Tipo 105. 37) Giulia Sprint GT converted for historic rally use during the early 2000s
Veteran of numerous events and winner of the 2013 Land's End to John O'Groats Reliability & Touring Trial
Offered for sale with current V5C and collection of Alfaholics receipts
Launched in 1963, the Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT was one of the decade's prettiest and most influential coupe designs. Styled by Bertone, its supremely elegant two-door bodyshell was based on the Milanese manufacturer's highly regarded 105-series platform. Equipped with all round coil-sprung suspension, disc brakes and well weighted steering, it handled with typical brio and panache. Initially powered by a 1. 6 litre DOHC four-cylinder engine, later derivatives featured 1300, 1750 and 2000cc units.
Built to right-hand drive specification by the factory (hence its Tipo 105. 37 designation), chassis AR299671 was reportedly converted from road to historic rally use during the early 2000s. Still sporting a host of scrutineering stickers to its rollcage, the Alfa Romeo carried its late owner to victory on the 2013 Land’s End to John O’Groats Reliability and Touring Trial (better known as ‘Le Jog’). Campaigned on various Tours of Cheshire and several HERO Challenges, the Giulia Sprint GT Veloce has not been run in anger for several years. Thought to be currently powered by a 2-litre Alfa Romeo DOHC four-cylinder engine, the diminutive fixed head coupe started readily for our photography session but is now in need of restoration / recommissioning. Temptingly offered for sale at no reserve, this appealing RHD Giulia is accompanied by a V5C Registration Document and assorted Alfaholics invoices.
