Giulietta Spider 1961. \u00a0<\/strong>This Spider is available out of Belgium from Marreyt Classics<\/a> – thanks Eddy for bringing it to my attention. \u00a0The story goes it was placed in a barn in Tuscany with about 22,000 kilometer on the odometer. \u00a0Based on the condition I would guess it was a climate controlled barn protected from rodents by a line of fierce vigilant house cats. I have seen some low miles original Giuliettas in my travels, but there is usually a caveat to originality, such as a repaint in original color, some engine tuning or the like – not so with this car. \u00a0It is claimed to be not just all 100% original with (I hope) the exception of standard consumables like tires and fluids, but in as-new original condition.<\/p>\n

It looks every bit like a restored Spider except that the doors and all fit a little better than usual. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"61barnfindf3\"<\/p>\n

Big license plate mount! \u00a0I prefer the below the bumper approach. \u00a0I wonder what 50 years of sitting does to shocks?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"61barnfindf4\"<\/p>\n

Great dash. \u00a0Rearview is nice and clear, with none of the usual delaminating and tarnish around the edges. \u00a0I’d love to see this in person.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"61barnfindf5\"<\/p>\n

Just wow. \u00a0Would be hard to replicate this. \u00a0Look at how clean the door jambs are. \u00a0I would like to take hundreds of pictures of this for posterity sake.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"61barnfindf6\"<\/p>\n

Amazing here too. \u00a0I’ve never seen this sort of ignition wires. \u00a0Look nice. \u00a0Some blanket ware on the air filter canister top.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"61barnfindf7\"<\/p>\n

These hub cap centers always yellow a bit. \u00a0Decals look better with 50 years of aging.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"61barnfindf8\"<\/p>\n

Interesting to see how they glued the rubber gaskets. \u00a0Neat decal here.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"61barnfindf9\"<\/p>\n

It is surprising how many cars I’ve seen with the break in decal intact. \u00a0Note it is for a “GIULIETTA SPRINT”.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"61barnfindf1\"<\/p>\n

Everybody loves a good coating of dust!<\/strong><\/p>\n
