In the last Spider prototype post I looked at was 1495*00002.<\/a> Alfa liked that car but found it a bit alienating for their more traditional customers so Bertone was sent back to the drawing board and this car, 1495*00004 emerged. There are definitely cues from 00002 that carried over, but there are also new elements. This design is attributed to Franco Scaglione.<\/p>\n

\"argiuliettabertone\"<\/a>This picture from google images. I have a picture of this car form Pebble Beach a few years back somewhere. It does share the look of the BAT cars but to me also seems to predict the Zagato treatments that Giulietta’s would see. Note lack of a top cross bar on the windshield assembly and the cut down angled side windows.

\"resize20of20bertonegtta1\"<\/a>Here’s 00004 waiting for some work at Galbiati’s. Hood vents and color among other things are not original.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"bertonegtta2\"<\/a>Another view. All manner of amazing machinery can be seen waiting for the masters hand. note Sprint type trunk airplane.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not sure where the above pictures came from but if they are yours or you know, let me know so I can give credit where it is due.<\/p>\n

\"argiuliettabertone2\"<\/a>Everything about this car is great, even the gold. If it’s a Sprint under all the fancy bodywork I bet it’s fun to drive and fast.<\/strong><\/p>\n

While searching for further information on this car I found show entry after show entry, it seems the current owner is proud of their prize, and they should be. If I had a pile of money I would get this car together with 00002 and the BAT cars and corner the market.<\/p>\n
