Giulietta Sprint 10102*156687 & 750B 1493*09653. Dimitrios sent me an email letting me know this pair of cars was available from a private party in Greece for €31,000 -about $44,700. The first car is a good driver without the original engine and not a Veloce according to d’Amico and Tabucchi. Second car is all apart and in bare metal. Some of the more prominent trim can be seen in the pictures as can some duplicate mechanical stuff, but no mention is made of an engine or transmission. If you’re interested, send me an email and I’ll get you in contact with the seller.
First the driver. Externally this car is in good shape with excellent panel fit, very fine trim/chrome and that purposeful poise of a car that gets used. There are several pictures of this car in the Flickr set (click on the VIN to go there) participating in an event in Greece.

Market 287: Sprint corpse
I am reminded of the scene in True Grit when the guy wearing the bear skin asks if they want the body after the teeth are pulled -‘it must have some value’. Indeed. Buy this guy now out of Poland for about $1000.
Your forced to look at it and shrug -what do you do with it? Nice verdant countryside it lives in.

Market 270: Scrappy runner Sprint project
Update 1/12/11: Back for more on eBay!
Update 12/15/10: 19 bids with a high of $4459.44 left the reserve unmet.
Giulietta Sprint 10102*350206, 00102*30507. This car is on eBay right now out of New Jersey. Some small stuff is missing but all in all it is a fairly complete and worthy project -as long as the price doesn’t get too high -it’s under $600 as I write.
Nose is busted up but not too bad. I like this color on Sprints -there is one in my area this color and in person the color suits it very well.

Market 272: Sorry Sprint in the French countryside
Olivier in France turned me on to this Sprint. He says it’s likely near Bourgogne. Car looks pretty rough but complete and in ‘as parked’ condition- kind of how my Sprint would look if I disappeared in South America for 20 years and it found itself rolled out into a wet field in which to await my return.
Eventually there wont be any Sprints like this. I think what happens on the hood is water gets in the holes the hood spear attaches through and the water fills the lowest front edge of the hood with water and it rots. On my car it gets in and fills up the spark plug holes.

Market 276: Good 101 Sprint project 20004
Giulietta Sprint 10105 1493*20004. I didn’t write about this one while it was active, but it went unsold after 16 bids brought it to $8522. Very original interior remains and all in all the seller is correct that this should be a straight forward project. Heck, maybe just do the brakes, clean out the carb and go for it!
Yep, metallic black. No, really. Rockabilly-bling!

Market 104: 101 Sprint Racer in Italy
Update 10/26/10: This charmer has found its way to the UK and can now be had for the same money it was before.
Most of the stickers have gone -two tone is still a little odd but works for a race prepped car.
Original post 4/8/2009: Giulietta Sprint 10102*160784. This racy fellow is available now on Classic Driver for 21,950 pounds (about $32,000 at time of writing) from a private seller in Italy.  If you are looking for a Sprint that’s not too dear to take racing this might be the right car for you. I’ve been thinking about going racing in my local vintage racing scene and this is the sort of car I would build.
Paintwork looks great as does all the trim. I’d be tempted to remove some of the grills. I like the color combination.

Market 262: 101 Sprint shell in PA
Giulietta Sprint 10105 1493*20827. This car, or at least what’s left of it is available right now in Philadelphia Pennsylvania for $750 obo. It has been pretty thoroughly stripped but I see some good stuff still attached including a decent early steering wheel, pedal box, rear end and some trim/headlight parts. Would make a great 24 hours of Lemons car! Contact me for more info.
Looks decent for the asking price -straight body with rust etc. I could use those clear turn signal lenses myself! I don’t think the engine seen here is included.

Market 260: Giulietta SPRINT RACE CAR
Update 9/21/10: $4500 is pretty strong money for this car as parts unless the engine is as fresh and well built as the seller claims.
Giulietta Sprint 10102*155977. If you’re in the Orlando Florida neighborhood and a challenging Sprint project is just the thing for you then this charmer currently on eBay might do the trick. In truth this is a parts car or the sort of project a passionate but poor giuliettisti might toil on for a few years and maybe take to the level of being doable at some point in the future -either way -it’s not likely to be expensive. Does come with a fancy engine though.
Here I am -take me. It’s just sad that this is how what probably would have been a decent car if it had stayed hidden for a generation longer. Pieces are there, the nose it straight. Maybe.

Market 256: '61 Sprint **Potential Show Car**
Update 8/31/10… morning: Craigslist ad is working again.
Update 8/30/10… evening: Craigslist posting has been deleted. Sold? Headed for eBay? Tree fell on it? Chances are it’ll turn up before long.
Giulietta Sprint 10102*158831. This car is listed on Craigslist out of St.Charles, IL for the asking price of $29,000. The seller claims the 1600 engine is original but this car should have a 00102 series 1300 (around # 00102*24900) unless it was made for some market d’Amico & Tabucchi don’t know about. Looks like a really nice car!
It’s hard to tell much from this picture. Door and hood shut lines look good, sill trim is missing and wipers are sitting pretty high on the windshield glass. Looks to have a Ferrari sticker above the badge on the fender. Continue reading “Market 256: '61 Sprint **Potential Show Car**”
Market 246: Exceptional(er), more expensive Sprint in Germany
Giulietta Sprint 10102*350073. This Sprint is also available from Movendi for the price of 47,900 Euro’s or about $63,200 (!!!) at the time of writing. This is not much than a 750E lightweight sold for last year… have times changed or is this car really that good? They list the car as a 1959 but the number is for a 1962.
I’ve never seen the grills blacked out in this way before -very cool looking. These guys know how to prep and photograph a car for sale. No cluttered background, no excuses detailing and just a sense of caring about the cars.
