The Appeal
The Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint is one of the finest achievements of the marque, born from the golden age of Italian automotive design. With an elegant Bertone-styled body and a lively twin-cam engine, the Giulia Sprint embodies everything that makes Alfa Romeo a benchmark brand. Finding a well-maintained example in a strictly original configuration is becoming increasingly rare, as many cars have been modified over the decades with non-original carburettors, increased displacement or aftermarket interior trim.
This 1963 example exactly fits that criterion. Imported from Turin in 2018, where its previous owner was a member of the local car club, it has benefited from a full mechanical overhaul including a new engine, a new gearbox and refurbished running gear. The seller states the interior is immaculate, with leather seats retrimmed while preserving period details such as the original luggage rack straps on the seat backs. The paintwork is described as well-applied and in good condition, and the seller confirms that all instruments and electrical equipment operate correctly.
Currently registered in France, this Giulia Sprint is accompanied by a technical inspection valid until June 2030. For the discerning collector seeking a honest, well-prepared example of this iconic Alfa Romeo, it’s an attractive opportunity.
