AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
IN HIGHLIGHTS:
• Very rare 1968 configuration with fenders of a wider and taller profile (only 27 units estimated)
• Mechanical setup equipped with the correct Alfa Romeo AR 536 engine with a major recent general overhaul
• Interiors fully redone in the rare original lead-gray upholstery, with characteristic wooden-trim armrests
• Original dashboard and three-spoke sporty steering wheel typical of the Veloce version carefully preserved
HISTORY/PANORAMA:
Presented in 1965 as an evolution of the Giulia Sprint GT, the Giulia Sprint GT Veloce represents one of the milestones among Alfa Romeo’s compact grand tourers, designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro for Carrozzeria Bertone. This version is distinguished by a higher-powered 1.6-liter twin-cam engine, dedicated finishes, and top-tier sporty performance. The specimen offered, dating from 1968, stands out for the very rare high-profile fender construction feature introduced that year (historical sources state it was applied to only 27 units of this series). The car, originally from Switzerland and currently with German documents, was purchased from a notable collector; after an initial body restoration in 2010, it has recently undergone a further conservative intervention aimed at preservation.
BODYWORK/PAINT:
The bodywork is in excellent condition; the existing finish has been enhanced through professional polishing that imparted shine and depth to the color without the need for repainting. The underbody and chassis are free of rust traces. The wheels have been carefully restored and completed with the correct wheel caps provided for the Veloce variant. The three-spoke original sports steering wheel from the Veloce version is present, preserved in excellent condition.
INTERIORS:
The cabin has undergone a complete refurbishment carried out in strict accordance with original specifications, using the rare Alfa Romeo lead-gray upholstery. The work covered the upholstery, the door panels of the front and rear, the headliner, the dashboard shadow/eye, the pockets, and the armrests, the latter distinguished by the characteristic wood finish with the upper part covered. The original dashboard is in excellent preserved condition, free of the typical wear of the model, and the carpeting is in excellent condition.
MECHANICS:
The mechanical part has undergone a thorough functional overhaul. The engine, checked to the correct Alfa Romeo AR 536 type, has been inspected for general tolerances; recent work includes overhaul of the carburetors, radiator, brake booster, and the entire brake caliper set, together with complete replacement of all rubber hoses and the exhaust system. The car is ready and fit for road use.
DOCUMENTS:
The car, of Swiss origin as evidenced by its documentary history, is supplied with German registration documents.
The car can be viewed and test-driven in Rome by appointment and agreement.
