GIULIETTA Sprint Speciale 1959
The so beautiful Giulietta Sprint Speciale was the epitome of aerodynamic design by the great Franco Scaglione when he was designing for Bertone in the early 50's. After designing the very pioneering and prototype cars BAT 5, BAT 7, BAT 9 from 1953 to 1955 which impressed the whole automotive world of the time for the audacity of their aerodynamic design, they commissioned him to design an aerodynamic Alfa Romeo that could be produced even in a small number of cars. Thus came out from Bertone Carrozzeria by Franco Scaglione design this "sculpture in motion" masterpiece, which was the pioneer in the use of aerodynamics.
When Alfa Romeo introduced it at the Turin Motor Show in October 1957, it described it as its "Super Aerodynamic" sports car.
The Alfa Romeo Giulietta SS had the lower aerodynamic “cd” on a production car that was achieved on the factory’s tests on 1957 !
In 1959, when production began, it was considered the most aerodynamic car in production until that time.
Until then and for more than 20 years, no other car with a lower coefficient of aerodynamic resistance was designed !
Our car was sold on 1960 to the biggest beer manufacturer in Greece. It remains until now in the same family from 1960.
The car is never restored except a new paint many years ago.
It’s one of the first Giulietta Sprint Speciale produced , number 112 from the beginning of production οn 1959 !
The 12th Giulietta SS produced after the first 100 low nose cars.
Chassis Number 10120* 00112
Engine Number 00120 * 00513
With wire wheels Borrani as an expensive option in that period with which very few Giulietta SS were supplied.
-One of the first cars produced on 1959.
-First hand from 1960 !
-With few km traveled according its age.
-Wire wheels Borrani.
-Very good preserved condition and never restored.
This car has only advantages and originality.
