The 1964 Alfa Romeo Giulia 1600 Spider Veloce, bodied by Pininfarina, is among the rarest and most desirable of the mainstream production Giulias, powered by the 129bhp twin-cam engine shared with the Sprint Speciale. Factory records confirm Italian delivery on 31 July 1964 to a buyer in the Ferrara province. By 1989 it was owned by Giovanni Sartori, a grandson of Alfa Romeo founder Ing. Nicola Romeo, who used it in competition with Scuderia Sant Ambroeus. It carries an Alfa Romeo Certificate of Origin and an ASI homologation certificate.

This car's public record is built from its auction and competition history. Register your ownership and privately add your own records to make it a verified Legacy Metrics passport — provenance that backs your car's value at sale and gives your insurer evidence to price against. Roy reviews and verifies every registration personally.

Each chassis record is compiled from public auction archives and links to its source material. Ownership, competition and maintenance entries are extracted from those catalogue listings by an LLM, which can make mistakes — please contact us with any corrections. The summary is Legacy Metrics’ own writing; we do not reproduce catalogue text.

“Full” and “partial” documentation labels indicate how well each entry is corroborated in the underlying sources, not an audit of the car’s physical paperwork. Names of recent or living owners are withheld for privacy.
