Vehicle description

The Success Story of the Bertone began with the Giulia Sprint GT presented to the press in 1963 and later at the IAA in Frankfurt. Many variants were to follow: As displacement classes, there was a large selection from the 1.3-liter to 1.6-liter to the 1.75-liter and 2.0-liter in-line four-cylinder. In January 1968, the 1750 GT Veloce was introduced, which developed into the Series 2 in 1969 and was the first Bertone with double headlights and without edge hood. It then had, for example, bumpers with horns and larger taillights. Changes in the interior of the Bertone affected the seats, dashboard and steering wheel. Opinions differ on the quantities: some speak of a good 30,000 copies, others of just over 40,000 units.
