1957 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Veloce

The 1957 Giulietta on offer is an original Giulietta Spider Veloce with correct and matching numbers throughout. Restored some time ago, it is still in fresh condition and has recently been treated to several sympathetic performance modifications including new, stiffer Centerline coil springs, a thicker front stabilizer bar and period-correct Koni Classic Red shocks. Finished in white with correct black vinyl interior, the car has a black cloth convertible top in good condition. It comes with a factory tool roll, spare and jack. There is no radio, only a factory blanking plate, but the sound of the Alfa twin-cam four’s assertive exhaust note through its dual Webers creates its own tunes which no radio can match. {analysis}{auto}359{/auto} This 1957 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Veloce sold for $41,800, including buyer’s premium, at the Gooding & Company auction held in Pebble Beach, CA, on August 15, 2004. The Giulietta will always be regarded as one of the most significant cars of the 20th century, not in the least because it saved Alfa Romeo after World War II. As a maker of expensive, limited-production high-performance touring and racing cars since the ’20s, Alfa needed a new plan to survive in a changed, post-war economic environment. The first step was the introduction of the 1900, a unit-bodied sedan that spawned coachbuilt coupes and a convertible. But this was just a warm-up for Alfa’s first real volume car, the 750 series Giulietta.
