Presented in 1963 the Giulia Sprint GT was the first model of Bertones new design for a small Alfa Romeo GT coupe to follow the highly succesful Giulietta from the mid-fifties. Designer Giugaro gave it the caracteristic 'stepnose' front. In 1966 the Veloce version was presented. 4 ekstra horsepower from 105 BHP to 109 BHP from the 1600 engine, bucket style sports seats and some detail trim as imitated wood veneer on the dashboard and 3 horisontal bars on the front grille, set the more expensive Veloce from the standard Giulia Sprint GT.
We have known this Veloce for more than 15 years. 1st owner in Sweden was a dentist who had the car for decades. He had it cosmetically restored in Sweden sometime in the late 80'es. In the early 90'es it was sold to its 2nd owner and came to Denmark for a mechanical overhaul. The local mechanic never finished the car and we bought it 5 years ago. Now it is totally restored: Body, interior, engine, gearbox, suspension, brakes etc. New paintjob to a very high standard in correct Alfa Rosso 501. Allthough one can not speak of mathing numbers with Alfa Romeo a Sprint GT Veloce should have engine type code 536. This one has not only the correct type 536. The series number is also within that interval that corresponds with this chassis number. This is as 'matching' as it gets in the Alfa world.
13.471 of these fine cars were produced and together with a 1750 GT a Sprint Veloce ranks perhaps as the most sought after model of them all, except for the very rare and prohibitively expensive GTA. This gorgeous 2 owner car has Danish papers and as such taxes (VAT) withing the EU are paid (not deductible).
