The Appeal
The Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint is one of the marque’s most beautiful achievements, born from the golden age of Italian automotive design. With an elegantly styled body by Bertone 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 over the decades have been modified with non-original carburetors, enlarged displacement, or aftermarket interior trim.
This 1963 example exactly meets that criterion. Imported from Turin in 2018, where its previous owner was a member of the local car club, it benefited from a full mechanical refresh including a new engine, a new gearbox, and rebuilt running gear. The seller notes that the interior is immaculate, with leather seats reupholstered while preserving period details such as the original luggage-straps on the seat backs. The paint 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 valid technical inspection until June 2030. For the discerning collector seeking an honest, well-prepared example of this iconic Alfa Romeo, it’s an attractive opportunity.
