Giulietta Spider 750D 1495*03133. This car sold on eBay out of the SF Bay Area for $2749.99 after a reserve met no sale the week before at $4615.
Note the abbreviated firewall. You’ll need to address this if your going to go original rather than Ford V8. Wheel well flairs don’t look too bad.

Market 275: Refreshed red Spider in California
Giulietta Spider 10103/4 1495*08598. This car is on eBay right now out of Moss Beach California. Seller describes as it as a street quality restoration -I’d call it more of a refresh, but either way it’s a nice car with no immediate needs and the bones to be a really nice car with some attention to detail focused fiddling.
Paint almost looks wet. Door and hood shut lines look really good. Chrome is described as all new. A Ducati 900 SS beside it?

Market 273: Sprint Veloce from Market 72
Giulietta Sprint Veloce 750E 1493*06930, 1315*31248. This car, on eBay right now, first hit the giuliettas dot com radar in December of 2008 with Market 72 -a racer that had a little mishap in the parking lot ending up with it running into a trailer. As it is presented now, the bodywork up front has been done and the car resprayed along with some light detailing. Asking price has been upped from $28,000 to $32,500.
The car looks to have been lowered since the last time it appeared for sale. Repairs to the front look pretty good as does the paint -though it’s very hard to tell the quality of a white paint job from pictures.

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 277: 1300 Spider Project in the snow
This unidentified Giulietta Spider sold recently on eBay for $4550 after 15 bids. Sale included an extra engine and some other stuff. If anyone caught the vin number of this let me know!
This is a good ‘as found’ shot. Worth restoring just so you can show this picture beside the finished car.

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 271: early SS racer in Italy
Giulietta SS 10120*00215. This car is listed on Luzzago at the moment out of Italy. It has been modified quite a bit for racing but looks as though the removal of some decals and moving toward a more stock interior might yield a fun street racer.
Headlight covers aren’t my thing and the grill is from who knows what, but under here is an SS.

Market 268: SS project in France
Giulia SS. This project is currently available in France. I have to assume it’s not complete or they would have shown more pieces. Anyone here care to send me a translation of the ad?
Was red. Note there is a lot of the car missing below the A pillar in front of the door jamb. Maybe a door in the car?

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 267: SS in Europe
Update (later the same day): Okay -I know this car because Jay drove it on the Melee in 2000 or 2001.
Giulietta SS. Marko sent me a link to this one. I get the feeling I’ve seen it before but can’t remember when/where and don’t have time to peruse the last 30 months of markets to find out -I wonder if it’s a local car I was trying to track down last Spring out of Stockton Ca? It’s listed as a 1962 and by the look of things it is in decent shape though not very original, with a 36,000 Euro asking that makes some sense.
Script in its mouth is odd. This is pretty close to the effect I was going for with my SS had I followed through with it. Wheels are later 105 items. Has a roll bar and the headlight rings don’t look quite right -maybe Fiat 124 items which work fairly well on SS’s.
