Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider with 1,600cc engine very good condition (1962)

Vehicle description

Model history:

Although the Giulietta range was offered cheaper than all Alfa Romeo sports cars before, the types Berlina, Sprint and Spider were not vehicles for the masses. Only at the insistence of US importer Max Hoffmann - who saw potential in an open variant of the Giulietta - the Spider was realized. The fascinating thing about these cars for the enthusiasts was not only the technology but also the design. At the front, the typical V-shaped chrome grille dominated, which was flanked on the right and left by two chrome-framed air intakes. With a total of around 177,000 vehicles produced, the Giulietta series, built until 1964, was a great success for Alfa Romeo.
