Giulietta\/Giulia Sprint 385086<\/a>.\u00a0 <\/strong>This car that I found on Anamera<\/a> is going to be auctioned May 1st 2010 in Monaco by RM auctions<\/a>\u00a0(listed between a Frua AC 428 and a Aston DB2 Vantage!).\u00a0 Car wears a 10112 Sprint 1600 build plate on the firewall but the vin number itself is that of a 10103 1300 Giulietta Sprint from 1965.\u00a0 I am guessing the vin is 10112*358086.\u00a0 <\/em><\/strong>I’ll send an email off into the cloud and see if they can clarify this.\u00a0 Car is set up for fast street or track use being stripped of bumpers and other unnecessaries and having a roll bar and race style controls.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Car looks very good\u00a0in this view with bumper missing and mount holes filled.\u00a0 Alfa grill badge is missing, no doubt to\u00a0save a few grams.\u00a0 I like the blacked out mesh of the grills.\u00a0 Rear view mirror is in an unoriginal place.\u00a0 I like the cartoon dead fish eye X’s.\u00a0A close look at the front reveals a thick sway bar.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Rocker line trim is missing.\u00a0 Door fit is pretty good.\u00a0 Car sits very low in the back.\u00a0 Late SS style corner marker light is neat on a late Sprint (and may be original).<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Arrow points to a tow loop.\u00a0 Buckles keep the lid closed ‘just in case’.\u00a0 Isn’t the ‘Sprint’ script supposed to be below the target style badge?\u00a0 No license plate mounting arrangement.\u00a0 Dedicated track car?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Darth Maul would be right at home in here.\u00a0 I prefer a little less intensity in my cockpit while driving so if it was mine I’d tone it down a bit, but I’m not sure how to do that when it’s the inside of the shell and corretly painted body color.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Maybe it’s just too much black for my liking.\u00a0 Looks to be very well set up and purposeful.\u00a0 Gauges are super clean which makes me believe the attention to detail on this car is high.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Very simple under the hood, only the absolute necessities.\u00a0 I like the magnesium protective coating color paint on the head.\u00a0 A friend has Cromodoras on his GTV in this color.\u00a0 Note remote oil filter.\u00a0 Vent covers look like speaker grills.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Another view of the bare-bones appraoch used.\u00a0 Note there are no tabs at the front of the valve cover or head.\u00a0 Either they were artfully removed (doubtful) or this is an early engine.\u00a0 Also note the vent grill from the last picture is missing in this shot.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I think this approach to redoing a Sprint is fairly wise.\u00a0 I haven’t done a serious cost analysis or anything but I bet it’s 20% cheaper to build a crappy Sprint into a gutted track car than to restore one and the value at the end of the project is similar.\u00a0 Anyone care to comment on this?<\/p>\n

A very similar car<\/a><\/p>\n
