Left hand drive. Alfa Romeo established itself as one of the truly great producers of exotic sport and racing cars in the time between the two world wars. The early Alfas were handmade and were built in relatively limited numbers. In the process of rebuilding after World War II, Alfa Romeo pursued a trend to build smaller and more affordable cars in an effort to appeal to the masses. The change over from the Giulietta to the Giulia Series occurred as a gentle transition. The larger displacement 1600cc engine was substituted into existing type 101-chassis vehicles beginning with the 1962 model year. The stroke increase from 75mm to 82mm made for a more serious, powerful feel and the familiar high-pitched exhaust rasp. With the new engine becoming such a great success, the engineers turned their attention to the body and chassis design. Road & Track found it to be an excellent sports car by any standards. According to the vendor, this Giulia Spyder was a 56,000 mile original car prior to its extensive restoration. The restoration included new paint in the correct original scheme of Farina Red, new chromium plating, a fully detailed undercarriage and new black interior trim fitted in the original color of black. Mechanically the engine was rebuilt, new seals and gaskets were fitted throughout the car and the brakes were rebuilt, as was the radiator and fuel tank. The engine hardware was replated in the correct cadmium finish. The tires are new and balanced. It is a late series car and these are considered to be the most desireable because they are fitted with the 5-speed gearbox, 1600 cc engine and front disc brakes.
