A Mechanical Symphony’s Post

The car is listed as a 1931 in the catalogue, but is without question a 1961 Alfa Guilia SS. And a gorgeous little example, is it not?! 1961 ALFA ROMEO GIULIA SS LOT 37 Estimate: 80,000 - 120,000 EUR Claude Aguttes AGUTTES - Auction House Alfa Romeo 1961 Alfa Romeo Giulia SS French registration title The Sprint Speciale was one of the most beautiful and sought-after Alfa Romeo models of the 1960s; 1,366 of the Giulietta (1300) and Giulia (1600) versions were produced, the 1600 being the rarest and most sought-after, with only 114 models built. With its bold, streamlined lines designed by Franco Scaglione for Bertone, and a very low coefficient of drag, its engine enabled it to approach 200 km/h, despite being overweight as a result of the heavy steel bodywork The car was restored at great expense (more than €100,000 in invoices, file on request) between 2016 and 2019, with the body completely stripped bare (traces of an old impact on the left front spar), and all the mechanical parts completely dismantled and rebuilt according to the rules of the trade. The file that accompanies the car also includes a full summary of the work carried out and some sixty photos that show the quality and care that went into the restoration, starting from a very sound rolling base Alfa Romeo Sprint Speciale cars are rare on the market, and this example, offered at a particularly attractive price given the extensive restoration work it has undergone, will appeal to the most demanding enthusiast, and to lovers of one of the finest Italian designs of the 1960s. #classic #classics #classiccars #collectorcars #carcollectors #historic #vintage #performance #racing #rallying #driving #car #cars #automotiveindustry #auto #autos #autoindustry #auction #forsale #sold #automotive #investment #privatesale
