Vehicle description
After much deliberation, I’ve decided to sell my 1959 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider. I’ve owned and enjoyed this car, but life is short, garage space is finite and it’s time to let another enthusiast enjoy this fun little car while I move onto something else.
According to the Alfa Romeo archives, this car, was completed on April 8th, 1959 and imported into the US by Hoffman Motor Car Co. on May 12th of the same year. As a 750 series car, it features the purest iteration of Pininfarina’s original Giulietta styling, including the desirable shorter wheelbase, smaller tail lights and absence of “wing windows”. The car retains its original white exterior color, though it was repainted under prior ownership. The car presents quite nicely, but is not so pristine that it cannot be driven and enjoyed. Overall, the body is in good shape.
The interior of the car is a definite highlight with fresh red upholstery, clear gauge faces, correct knobs, radio blanking plate and a nice crinkle finish on the dash top. The convertible top is complete and in excellent condition. I always keep the car garaged and never drive in the rain.
The car’s drivetrain has been upgraded to a slightly later, 105 series, 1600cc engine with 5 speed transmission. This upgrade strikes a good balance between retaining the original feel and underhood aesthetic, while providing a satisfying increase in power and drivability. Under my ownership, I’ve installed a Pertronix electronic ignition kit (visually undetectable unless you remove the distributor cap) and a Weber DGV carburetor. Both modifications improve power and reliability, but both are completely reversible if they are not to your liking. To that end, I am happy to also include the previously installed Solex APAIG carburetor and air filter housing. These are significant, as even a reproduction Giulietta air filter housing sells for >$800.
Additional items included in the sale:
• Fitted car cover
• Miscellaneous spares including the aforementioned carburetor and air filter housing
• Giulietta shop manual
• Laminated Giulietta wiring diagram
• Car disk DVD with shop manual, parts book and various related literature and images
In preparation for the summer driving season, the car was recently serviced by an Alfa specialist mechanic, including oil/filter change and adjustment of the brakes and steering.
