1962 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Zagato II (SZ II) coda tronca
- Engine
- 1.3L DOHC inline-four, 100 bhp (original unit); currently fitted with a non-original 1750 unit
The 1962 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Zagato Series II (chassis 207) is one of the final 44 'coda tronca' examples produced, featuring aerodynamic coachwork by Ercole Spada at Carrozzeria Zagato incorporating Kamm-tail treatment. Built on 11 August 1962 and sold in Vercelli later that year, the car passed through American and Japanese ownership before its current custodian acquired it in 2014. It retains its rare bi-metal wheels and carries a matching-sequence Zagato body number, confirming authenticity.
