The Alfa Romeo Giulietta was introduction in 1954 and demand soon outstripped supply, causing the company to rethink its production strategy and become a high-volume manufacturer. Wearing a design by Pinin Farina on a modified Sprint Coupe chassis, the Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider was the company's second post-war model. Introduced in 1955 at the insistence of New York importer Max Hoffman, the two-seat Sports Spider offered brisk performance from its all-alloy, 1.3-liter twin-cam four-cylinder engine mounted in a steel unibody chassis that weighed less than 1900lbs at the curb.
The Sprint and Spider offered an exhilarating combination of character and performance. Just like the pre-war Alfa Romeos, the dealers soon saw a demand for an updated version for buyers with competition in mind. Satisfying their demands, Alfa Romeo introduced the Giulietta Sprint and Spider Veloces in 1956, with a horsepower increase by about 15-percent. Performance was improved, with a top speed of 115 mph.
In total, just 2,796 examples of the Giulietta Spider Veloces were built.
This Giulietta Spider Veloce 750F was completed at the Milanese Alfa Romeo plant in 1959, as a left-hand-drive Spider in full Veloce trim. It was built in the last year of the Type 750 Veloces (750F), and features fixed wing windows, which are rare and seldom seen on a Type-750.
Power is from a twin-cam engine with dual Weber carburetors. It is believed that the car was delivered new to the United States, possibly to Kentucky, where it has spent the majority of its life. In the late 2000s, the Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce was found by its current caretaker having lost its drive train. An exhaustive search revealed a correct type and series Veloce spec engine and transmission. The Veloce was soon after treated to a comprehensive restoration. The body was finished in its correct shade of white and the interior was re-trimmed in the original red.
The 2-year, no expense spared restoration brought the car back to its factory specifications. Two updates were adopted, namely stainless steel bumpers and fuel tank.By Daniel Vaughan | Oct 2017
