1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint Speciale

AR 380698roadItaly

Engine: 1.6L twin-cam inline-four with twin Weber 40DCOE two-barrel carburetors
Colour: White ('Bianco')

A 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint Speciale, originally delivered to Conselve, Italy, near Venice, on 2 January 1965. The model represents the Giulia-era evolution of the Giulietta Sprint Speciale, retaining Bertone's striking aerodynamic bodywork — itself derived from the BAT concepts and the Disco Volante — while gaining a 1.6-litre twin-cam engine and front disc brakes. Registered later in Udine, the car was imported to the United States in the mid-1980s and subsequently underwent a comprehensive restoration.

Twin Weber 40DCOE carburettors are fitted.
Work was completed following import to the US in the mid-1980s, though the precise date of the restoration is not recorded.
