1965 Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1300 Sprint coupé - Lot 260

1965 Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1300 Sprint coupé Chassis no. 385395 - One of the last Giulietta models to leave the factory - Original French - Ideal for historic drives and rallies Introduced in April 1954, the Giulietta coupé ushered in a new era for Alfa Romeo in terms of design and motorization. Elegantly designed by Franco Scaglione, chief stylist at Bertone, assisted by Mario Boano, then at Ghia, its sleek lines, agility and high performance (160 km/h claimed at the time) quickly earned it considerable success. From 1962, the Giulietta was replaced by the Giulia, with its more powerful 1,600 cm3 engine. The Giulia retained the same body lines, but gained a new interior with a new dashboard. The 1,300 version was discontinued in 1965. The car we present is one of the last Giulietta Sprint 1300 coupés to leave the Alfa Romeo factory, before production of the model ceased in 1965. Equipped with a 5-speed gearbox and front disc brakes, this car is a pleasure to drive, ideal for historic drives and rallies, thanks to its additional headlights. The interior, burgundy when the car left the factory, is now adorned in black leather in fine condition, with the Giulia dashboard characteristic of the last Giulietta models built between 1964 and 1965. It is presented in its original color. Film buffs beware: the Alfa Romeo presented here is in the same configuration as the one driven by Michel Piccoli in Claude Sautet's beautiful feature film Les choses de la vie. One hand raised and you'll make Madame your Romy Schneider! 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1300 Sprint coupé Chassis no. 385395 - One of the last Giulietta models to leave the factory - Original French - Ideal for historic drives and rallies Introduced in April 1954, the Giulietta coupé ushered in a new era for Alfa Romeo in terms of design and engines.
