1960 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Veloce (Tipo 101)
- Engine
- 1.3L inline-four
A left-hand drive Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Veloce, first registered in the United Kingdom in February 1961, representing the lighter, more powerful competition-oriented variant of Bertone's celebrated coupe body. Originally finished in Rosso Alfa, the car was comprehensively converted to FIA-recognised race specification around 2000, with Period E homologation paperwork signed off in 2010. After more than two decades in storage, it was lightly recommissioned in 2024 and retains its roll cage, safety equipment, and competition preparation, making it a candidate for historic circuit or hillclimb use.

FIA paperwork was formally signed off in 2010, though the preparation work itself was carried out around 2000.
- 2010Inspection
FIA homologation paperwork formalised and signed off, confirming the car's eligibility for Period E, Series Production Touring GTS4 competition.

Light recommissioning to bring the car to a running and roadworthy state, including replacement of HT leads, spark plugs, all fluids, drive belts, and water pump; an MOT was obtained to facilitate a registration plate transfer.
Work was described as sufficient to make the car driveable but well short of circuit-ready condition.
