Giulietta Spider 1495*05689.\u00a0 <\/strong>This car, an early 1959 interim model, is available right now from The Gallery<\/a>, Brummen in the Netherlands.\u00a0 The gallery looks like a big museum where you can buy the display pieces.\u00a0 The stock on their website ranges from the mundane to the impressive with prices to match.\u00a0 Hopefully someday I can make it there for a look around.\u00a0 Someone should do something like that here in the USA.\u00a0 On to the star of the show…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I chose this one for cousin Norm since it has a BMW 2000CS in\u00a0the background.\u00a0 Spiders look very\u00a0sophisticated in white -like a guy who is always wearing a tuxedo.\u00a0 Front side marker tells me it’s a European market car.\u00a0 From this distance and at this resolution the car looks very nice.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/a>Ride height is perfect for a stock Spider.\u00a0 Tail lamps are also Euro spec having amber tops.\u00a0 Again, at this distance and resolution the car looks fabulous.\u00a0 The\u00a0trim line created by the wrap around portions of the bumpers and the side spears creats a sort of waterline effect -where the road and business side of things is mostly\u00a0below the water line.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Engine compartment is presentable and has the look of functionality.\u00a0 Engine has front tabbed valve cover and 105 style head.\u00a0 Might be the original block, assume it is not.\u00a0 May even be a 1600.\u00a0 Air cleaner is practical but I would want the stock airbox.\u00a0 Glass brake reservoir tells me it was originally a French market car.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Red seats are said to be leather in the description. All in all a very presentable interior.\u00a0 Steering wheel and rear view mirror are correct items and in great condition.\u00a0 All the brightwork\u00a0shines nicely.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>More well presented details. The shock mounting hardware is free from overspray and looks almost new. Spare is a Borrani, car wears Fergats. I can’t fault anything back here, although isn’t the jack supposed to be back here?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>A view frequently left to the imagination.\u00a0 The important stuff is in a condition that speaks of functionality -no caked on crud or rust to be seen.\u00a0 Bravo on the detailing.\u00a0 These gas tanks originally came with a lead washer for the drain plug that can leak if disturbed but this tank shows no signs of leaking.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Another view of the under side shows no signs of repair having been done, this is a nice dry car if the pictures tell the truth.\u00a0 Drive shaft components look to have recently been replaced.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This car is priced at 35,950 Euro’s, $57,500 US dollars at todays exchange rate. This is a lot of money for a Normale -heck, it’s more than several nice Giulietta Veloce’s have sold for on eBay in the last year, so I suspect it’s a very nice car when seen in person. I read commentary to the effect that Giuliettas will be very expensive in the near future, paralleling the Porsche 356 product line in price, since it parallels it in so many other things. This parallel pricing seems to be the case with the higher end models when comparing like to like, but low end Giuliettas are significantly cheaper than their 356 counterparts in most cases.<\/p>\n

Another nice expensive Giulietta Spider<\/a>.
\nAnd another<\/a>.
\nAnd as always, a project <\/a>near in production to the subject of the post.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
