The Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider made its appearance in 1955 and, over its production lifespan, would capture the hearts and souls of driving enthusiasts the world over. Alfa Romeo improved upon the original design with the 101 series in 1959, lengthening the wheelbase for greater stability and enhancing the interior fittings.
This example was built in late 1961 and sold new in Seattle, Washington, at the time of the 1962 Seattle World's Fair to a member of the Bullitt family. Two years later, showing 12,000 miles on the odometer, the car was sold to Harry Jones of Bothell, Washington. For the next 47 years, Mr. Jones averaged 1,446 miles a year in the car. The current owner purchased the car in 2011. The new owner has given the car a top-end engine refurbishment with new valves and guides from the Norman Racing Group in Berkeley, California, as well as a new timing chain. New KONI shock absorbers were installed.
The car is powered by a 1290cc dual overhead cam four-cylinder engine fitted with 2-barrel Solex carburetors and offering 91 horsepower. There is a five-speed manual gearbox and four-wheel drum brakes.
In 2012, the car was offered for sale at Gooding & Company's Pebble Beach, California auction. The car was estimated to sell for $70,000 - $90,000 and was offered without reserve. As bidding came to a close, the car had been sold for the sum of $41,800, inclusive of the buyer's premium.By Daniel Vaughan | Dec 2012
