This RHD 1966 Giulia Sprint GT Veloce has enjoyed a long and active life in the hands of motorsport enthusiasts, being developed over the years for serious long-distance competition use. We understand the Alfa spent much of its early life in Guernsey, where an enthusiastic owner transformed the Giulia into a capable long-distance rally car. Considerable expenditure was invested. Works were undertaken by Wellanier Motors, Peter Smart Classic Alfas and TT Motors Racing, with a Protune Racing engine fitted as part of the programme.
Approximately £56, 000 has been invested in the car, demonstrating the commitment lavished upon this particular Sprint GT and its intended use. The Giulia has successfully entered a series of demanding international events such as the Panama to Alaska Rally, Classic Safari Challenge and Inca Trail. Maintained to a high standard, and finished in Alfa-Romeo racing red with contrasting white front valance panels, the car has an undeniably purposeful appearance. The paintwork would now benefit from some improvement in areas, but the overall effect remains striking.
An opportunity to acquire something rather more unusual than a conventional restored example, this Giulia been prepared, developed and genuinely used for the purpose for which it was intended. Its participation in some of the world's most demanding long-distance rallies adds appeal, while its 1960s Italian styling ensures that it remains every inch the charismatic Alfa Romeo. The accompanying history file includes Alfa Romeo Owners Club correspondence together with the current V5C registration certificate.
