Update: I received the numbers from the seller, this is Chassis 1493E07137, Engine 1315*31504. This would indicate this car is not a Confortevole, but a modified 101 bodied Sprint Veloce.
Giulietta Sprint Veloce Confortevole. This Giulietta Sprint is available right now on Italian eBay with an opening bid of 30,000 Euro’s or $37,846 at the time of writing… is the dollar approaching parity with the Euro? This car is pretty nice so obviously there is a reserve involved.
While I’ve got your attention, check out my updates page for pictures of a sweet 1953 Ferrari 212 Inter PF.
Body work is gorgeous on this car and the Celeste blue suits it perfectly. Note the laterals in the grill openings have the thin trim strips, an option on ‘regular’ Sprints but standard on the Veloce Confortevole.
Looks like a late Spider patiently waiting for some follow through on the started bodywork and a brake job and a carb swish and…
Car looks even better out of the cramped garage.
I wish my SS looked this good from behind.
No serious alarm bells yet, except maybe the seeming absence of rockers. I can’t really tell if it’s red over gray or gray over red but important thing is they are both over rust.
It’s like two-face from what was it Batman? Looks like it was a nice car.
So far so good. Trim is excellent and I like the color of the car. Blacked out grill openings are pretty cool. Note wet driveway and remember cars look better when wet.
This is how you used to find them all the time. A little bump in the nose, trim and bumpers in B to B+ condition with good enough fit for a driver, paint with some bald patches and, well ,you get the picture.
It’s a Spider, that’s for sure. Is that bondo around the nose? Sweet.
Looks very good. It’s hard to get all the panels and trim pieces to align and be symmetrical after a repaint. Color is a little boring in my opinion, but I’m sure ‘classy’ in someone elses, at least it’s original.
