Giulietta Sprint 750B<\/a>.\u00a0 <\/strong>Listed as a 1956 in LVA<\/a>, the leading classic newspaper in France, is this rusty Sprint.\u00a0 Price of entry is 5000 Euro’s or about $6800.\u00a0 Without more pictures I would have to say this is pretty ambitious as a project since a Sprint this early in good, though unrestored shape can be had in the mid $20k’s.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>It looks to be complete other than the missing metal from the bodywork.\u00a0 Rims may be the early rolled edge style -can’t really tell in pictures of this resolution.\u00a0 Advertisement indicates it was an original French delivery car and thus probably has the glass brake fluid reservoir and yellow headlights.\u00a0 Door gaps are superb here for what it’s worth.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Seats look to have original fabric, gauges are not overly yellowed.\u00a0 I am tempted to say the mirror is not original.\u00a0 Column shift is seemingly prevalent in earlier cars.\u00a0 Radio looks like a Becker.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Ambitious project -yes indeed, but worth doing?\u00a0 Maybe, if you are working from the temporary (and altogether very common) insanity we call nostalgia or sentiment.\u00a0 Regarding the rust, these Sprints are much hardier than their 105 offspring, and as such, while what is seen here may seem bleak, one might be surprised by how solid a lot of it is.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Floors are best done as a unit and trunks are always gone anyway, so are you really that much better off with a less rusty car for more money that still needs these areas replaced?\u00a0 Tough call.\u00a0 At this price it’s definitely worth it for parts if the rust repair doesn’t pan out.\u00a0 For encouragement check this out<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A very similar c<\/a>ar.<\/p>\n
