AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
TO POINT OUT:
• Rare unit of the Giulia 1600 Sprint Speciale (approx. 1,400 units produced)
• Bodywork designed by Franco Scaglione for Bertone with aesthetics inspired by the B.A.T. prototypes
• 1,567 cc twin-cam engine with twin Weber 40 DCOE2 carburetors and 5-speed manual gearbox
• Historic Spanish registration with ITV valid until March 2028
• Preserves the original front aerodynamic acrylic deflector on the hood
GENERAL
The 1964 Alfa Romeo Giulia 1600 Sprint Speciale is one of postwar Italy’s most aerodynamic jewels. With only 1,400 units built between 1963 and 1965, this model is the successor to the Giulietta SS and represents the final evolution of Franco Scaglione’s masterful design for Bertone. Although often confused with the Disco Volante prototype (designed by Carrozzeria Touring), the Sprint Speciale is directly inspired by Scaglione’s famous B.A.T. (Berlina Aerodinamica Tecnica) wind tunnel studies. Thanks to its extremely low drag coefficient, this coupe was, in its day, one of the fastest production cars in its category. This particular unit comes from the United States, where it underwent a high-level restoration by a specialist in Alfa Romeo, scrupulously respecting its original configuration.
BODYWORK AND PAINT
The body of this Giulia SS is a work of art sculpted by Bertone and remains in immaculate condition. The paint boasts a deep shine and practically no defects, reflecting the high quality of the restoration work carried out in North America. A detail of great value to purists is that it retains the original acrylic aero deflector at the end of the hood, a distinctive aerodynamic element and very hard to find in good condition. The underbody has been restored with the same level of detail as the upper, presenting a flawless appearance and completely free of any rust.
MECHANICS
Under its stylish hood beats the powerful 1,567 cc engine equipped with two Weber 40 DCOE2 carburetors, the same high-performance mechanics that equipped the legendary Giulia Sprint Veloce. With 112 hp, this engine is capable of propelling the car to 200 km/h. The unit has just received a complete tune-up that includes carburation, ensuring perfect cold and hot starts and operation. The five-speed gearbox operates with absolute smoothness, with seamless shifts and no synchronisation noises in any gear. Likewise, the suspension system is in superb condition, guaranteeing precise, sporty handling with no pending tasks beyond enjoying it.
INTERIOR
The cockpit has been restored with exquisite red leather upholstery that creates a classic and elegant contrast with the body color. The interior looks almost like new, showing only minimal signs of occasional use that indicate exceptional care. Although the classic aesthetic has been preserved, a modern radio has been installed for greater travel comfort. The instrument layout and the thin steering wheel transport you directly to the golden era of Italian Grand Tourers.
DOCUMENTATION
This Alfa Romeo is delivered with impeccable and fully up-to-date documentation. It has a historic Spanish license plate and the Technical Vehicle Inspection (ITV) is valid until March 6, 2028, guaranteeing legal road use for a long period. The buyer will also receive a detailed invoice of the recent mechanical work, certifying the maintenance and fine-tuning of the engine and carburetors.
PICK-UP
The vehicle is physically located in Madrid, Spain. The seller offers full transparency and makes an elevator and suitable space available for a serious and detailed technical inspection. If the lot is awarded, a courtesy of 20 days of free storage in secure facilities is offered to coordinate transport or personal collection.
OTHER INFORMATION
Acquiring a Giulia Sprint Speciale isn’t just buying a classic car; it’s an investment in one of the most beautiful silhouettes in automotive history. It’s the ideal unit for participating in elegance events or historic rallys, offering a perfect balance between dream design and robust, exciting mechanics, ready for any kind of trip or classic car plan.
