The magnificent 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia 1600 Sprint Speciale featured here is finished in stunning Blu Chiaro Metallizzato over Grigio gray leather. It was purchased new in Germany by its original owner, an Armed Forces officer who enjoyed this car for a year before bringing it to the United States. This essentially one owner Alfa Romeo Giulia was cared for by him for nearly 50 years! Beautifully restored to Concours level to show or drive, this exquisite investment-grade 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia 1600 Sprint Speciale is one of the best examples to come to market in years! With only 1,400 produced and only a few hundred known to still exist today, I personally believe the investment potential of these moving works of art will grow beyond your imagination. Offered to the most sophisticated investor, collector, or enthusiast who understands and appreciates the investment potential of this phenomenal motorcar.

Launched in 1957, the Sprint Speciale was a stunning design unmistakably derived from the otherworldly Berlina Aerodinamica Tecnica, or B.A.T., show cars created by Carrozzeria Bertone in the mid-1950s. Those aerodynamic studies led to what seemed to be a perfect solution to a competition version of the Bertone-bodied Giulietta Sprint Veloce. With its extremely low drag coefficient of 0.29, it was aimed at competition, and a limited number were produced to meet FIA homologation rules. The Speciale utilized lightweight construction that had been built on the chassis of the popular Giulietta Spider, and it came with a domed roofline and gracefully peaked fenders.

The Giulietta’s sturdy 1,300-cubic centimeter, all-alloy, four-cylinder engine provided enough power to push the svelte two-seater coupé to almost 125 mph, which was considerably more than its conventionally bodied Sprint coupé and spider siblings could achieve. The unique plastic air deflector mounted ahead of the windscreen, which was more commonly seen on competition cars of the era, added to the car’s racy flavor. When the 1,570-cubic centimeter twin-cam engine was introduced with the 101-series Giulia, the Sprint Speciale received both the powerplant and the new name.
