750 and 101 series cars 1954 – 1965
Giulietta Sprint Speciale. This car is available right now from VSOC in the Netherlands but Anamera has better resolution pictures and more information. This car looks about right for the 39,750 Euro ($53,700 at time of writing) asking price. If anyone talks to the seller, let me know what the VIN is please.
As the maker intended. There is some photo distortion that makes the fenders appear to rise up from the door gaps. Very nice paint and trim. Those look like repro headlight rings.
Giulietta/Giulia Sprint 385086. This car that I found on Anamera is going to be auctioned May 1st 2010 in Monaco by RM auctions (listed between a Frua AC 428 and a Aston DB2 Vantage!). Car wears a 10112 Sprint 1600 build plate on the firewall but the vin number itself is that of a 10103 1300 Giulietta Sprint from 1965. I am guessing the vin is 10112*358086. I’ll send an email off into the cloud and see if they can clarify this. Car is set up for fast street or track use being stripped of bumpers and other unnecessaries and having a roll bar and race style controls.
Car looks very good in this view with bumper missing and mount holes filled. Alfa grill badge is missing, no doubt to save a few grams. I like the blacked out mesh of the grills. Rear view mirror is in an unoriginal place. I like the cartoon dead fish eye X’s. A close look at the front reveals a thick sway bar.

Giulietta Sprint 750B. Listed as a 1956 in LVA, the leading classic newspaper in France, is this rusty Sprint. Price of entry is 5000 Euro’s or about $6800. Without more pictures I would have to say this is pretty ambitious as a project since a Sprint this early in good, though unrestored shape can be had in the mid $20k’s.
It looks to be complete other than the missing metal from the bodywork. Rims may be the early rolled edge style -can’t really tell in pictures of this resolution. Advertisement indicates it was an original French delivery car and thus probably has the glass brake fluid reservoir and yellow headlights. Door gaps are superb here for what it’s worth.
Update 4/26/10: Car has been sold as of 4/4/10. I imagine the selling price was a little shy of the asking, perhaps about $26k?
Giulia Spider 10123*373471, 00112*15253. This car is currently listed as for sale on the Alfa BB out of Florida. Asking price is $28,500 which includes a Pininfarina hard top to be restored and an original Giulia Spider hood.  I would call this restored to very nice driver condition.  Not necessarily original or perfect but attractive and usable.
The money shot for sure, like a mature super model in sunsets orange glow. Â Remember that this is what the average person sees before you go and pick the details that are not perfect apart.
Giulietta Spider 10104 1495*08888. This car is available right now out of St. Louis Mo. at Hyman Ltd. Hyman seems to only deal in pretty good cars and their prices are usually fairly reasonable. This Spider is no exception at $29,500.
I’ve looked at a lot of pictures of cars photographed in this corner. The paint has some patina, as does the trim and top, but I like this sort of thing. Makes for a nice car that is not too nice to use.

Update 3/16/10: 2 bids, $5101, no sale. Would have been a bargain at this price. I’ll have to ask if it’s still available.
Giulietta Spider 750d 1495*06473. This Black Plate car is on eBay right now out of Southern California. Seller is not the owner but I know him through the Alfa world and he’s an upstanding guy and not a car dealer so everything in the description should be taken at face value. Starting bid of $5000 is very reasonable considering the effort required to get a car into this condition and ready for final prep and paint. Sure, lots of little stuff needs doing -just about everything in fact, but none of it looks that bad.
This looks very good. Nose features are well defined and this is without filler. Door fit looks good, hard to say about the hood.

Update 3/16/10: 10 bids, $24,100, apparently sold. Not a bad result for a car halfway around the world from most people who would be interested in it. Any takers here? Drop me a line.
Giulia SS 10121*380557, 00121*00518. This car is available now out of Peru on eBay. Looks like a nice original car. A lot of people I know have fears of South American cars since a lot of the time they were kept running on no budget, with whatever parts were on hand. While I wouldn’t lay out the same money for this car in an eBay auction as for one in my home town, shipping charges aside, I also wouldn’t discount it out of hand. These were never cheap and therefore never (well, probably not never) used as a truck.
Cute kid. In 20 years he’s going to find this picture and be mad the car is gone. Trim panel fit etc all looks really good. Windshield wipers are doing their own thing.
Giulietta TI 10129*220464.  This car is available right now on eBay.it.  Condition is superbly original and the color combination is spectacular. At 11,500 Euros or about $15,500 it is at the top of the market for these cars, but I think you’ll agree it deserves it once you look carefully at the pictures. Car is listed as being in Caltagirone -must be near Padua judging by the plates.
Great color! Trim and hood fit is great. Everything has a nice even patina. Too bad it’s $2000 worth of transport away.
Giulietta TI 10129*237039. This car has been around for sale for about a year and coincidentally (I didn’t start this as a market, but I guess it is) was just relisted on Anamera for 13,000 Euro or about $17,600 at time of writing. Fit and finish is just right for a street/track car and it looks to be street registered.
The Giulietta TI was born when a Sprint normale engine was fitted to a Giulietta Berlina and some details changed -the addition of a tach for example. At the 1957 Coup Des Alpes a team of 3 TI’s ran and did very well. I like the bumper delete and single leather hood latch.

Giulietta Sprint 10102*161329. This 1961 Sprint is available now out of South Africa.  A familiar story, it has been in good-intentioned hands since the mid-1970’s, seeing one owner spend 20 years on disassembly and probably sporadic attempts at little tasks before selling in 1994 to the current owner who got it into the shape you see here. There is a lot of unclear language surrounding the price so I’m just going to go with the 11,820 Euro quote which is $16,000 at time of writing. A reasonable asking price which reflects the realities of transport. Is there no South African market for this now that Greig has filled his garage? Time to build a bigger garage.
This looks really good so far though a little dusty. This red is a lot like the shade found on earlier 6C and 8C’s, a bloodier, more serious red than the bright Alfa red of the mid fifties. Hood fits great as do grills and lights. I dig the driving lights. One wiper missing.
