750 and 101 series cars 1954 – 1965
Giulietta Sprint Veloce Zagato 1493E*06936. This car is listed on Anamera right now out of the Netherlands. There is very little information given on this car but if you read through ‘The Complete SVZ File’ thread on the Alfa BB you will find some very interesting reading about this car.
This is a gorgeous little car. Zagato hand crafted these cars on an individual basis from Sprint race car wrecks. This car was restored by Zagato in the mid 1980’s.Â
Giulia Spider 1600 101.23 AR373862. This car was on eBay ended at $15,776 with 20 bidders on 12/20/08. I imagine (or at least hope) it’s under the knife right now. I think this was a decent deal considering everyting is sorted except the accident damage. Values seen to have come down a little since then so I expect this would make maybe $13,000 now.
It’s like two-face from what was it Batman? Looks like it was a nice car.
Update 2/11/09: Seller says it’s all one color but that engine compartment sure looks white to me.
Giulia Spider 1600 101.23 AR375698, engine 00112*08251. This car is available right now on eBay out of Southern California and not much different than the subject of Market #84 other than a claimed (with marginal photo evidence) absence of rust, fresher paint and a sobering $33,500 asking price.
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.

Giulia Spider 101.23 AR379860. This car is available right now on eBay, buy it now for $16,500, from a classic car dealer in southern California who offers your typical mix of not-very-exciting (at least to me) late British and German roadsters. No engine number is stated but I am going to guess that if it’s original its about 00112*18000.
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.

Giulietta Spider 750D 1495*02549, engine 1315*42308. This Spider project is available now on eBay. From the description I am not sure exactly what you get besides the body, block and license plate w/title. Seller contacted the Alfa archive and received this response:
“According to our documentation files, the chassis number AR 1495.02549 and the engine number AR 1315.42308 originally correspond to an Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider, Manufactured on the 9th of August 1957 and sold on the 18th September 1957 to Hoffman Motor Car Co. New York, USA. The body colour is red.”
It’s a Spider, that’s for sure. Is that bondo around the nose? Sweet.

Giulia Spider Veloce 101.18 AR390652, Engine AR00121.02393. This car is available right now from Fantasy Junction, asking price is $31,500. They describe it thus:
“Outstanding ‘driver’ standard restoration. 2,500 miles since completion. A true Veloce by serial number. $39,500 spent on engine (rebuilt), transmission (rebuilt), suspension and brakes. Repainted in the original color. Drives well, as would be expected of a rebuilt car. Evidence of some rust repairs to the underside, but generally a straight, solid car. Great value.”
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.

I was looking for a picture of Hans Mathon (sp?) I have at a CSRG event standing beside his Giulia SS that he recently sold via FJ when I came across the pictures below that the guy I bought my TI from sent me when I was on the fence about exercising the $3500 Buy It Now option. Really sad how busted up it is now. Oh well, have wrench , will fix.
A complete runner, very blue and pretty good looking. I was in my twenties and wanted a Giulia sedan in the worst way.

I noticed a while back that some eBay auctions have an eye-catching accessory that lures in shoppers no matter how uninterested they are in the product offered, sometimes the addition of this accessory is successful, sometimes less so. I have saved examples of auctions featuring this accessory since I started this blog. Over the years there have been other memorable examples, but alas, I lacked prescience and failed to save them for the appreciation of future generations.
This Bus has a faked black plate and the dog looks bored. This is the unpaid ‘friends good-looking girlfriend’ version of the accessory.
Sold! Car received 29 bids ending at $17,100 and seems to have sold. A good deal for he buyer if everything was as described.
Giulia Spider Veloce 101.18 AR390222, engine 00121*01752. This late Spider Veloce is on eBay right now. You don’t see original Spiders this clean very often with such regular old paintwork and straight trim with an even shine. California Black late is an unexpected bonus on a car being sold out of New Mexico.
At this point, 20 years into their development these Spiders were just filling a hole until the new Spider could be rolled out in full swing. The first Duettos had appeared and the GTC was available, though neither was being pushed.

Update 2/10/09: Car sold for 41,100 Euro’s including auction fees. Not too bad.
Giulietta Sprint Speciale 10120*00366, Engine 00120*00775. This 1960 Giulietta SS is going to be auctioned by Bonhams on 2/7/09 as part of the Retromobile show in Paris, France and is expected to make between 25 – 30K Euro’s. Without better pictures I can’t really comment on that estimate, but from what can be seen it looks like a nice car.
These pictures are not very high quality but I have a contributor who is going to get better pictures if possible. I am into this color combo and may have to change my SS color plans, Black with Dove gray is spectacular!
