KEY FACTS
The Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Speciale is a classic Italian sports car, and is the lesser-seen Bertone designed coupe of the 1960s era.
This car is in excellent condition and highly original. It is powered by a 1. 3-litre DOHC inline-4 engine fed by twin Weber carburettors, and powered to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual gearbox. It produces around 100 bhp and due to its lightweight construction and aerodynamic design, was one of the fastest cars of its class.
The car was assembled in Italy in January 1961 as confirmed by Alfa Romeo. It was first imported into the UK and registered with the DVLA in June 2013. The current and second UK-based owner has cherished this car for five years.
The odometer indicates 2, 361 kilometres, but is not confirmed
