77265 First of the Giuliettas, the Bertone-styled Giulietta Sprint coupé debuted at the Turin Motor Show in April 1954 powered by a 1.3-litre, all-alloy version of Alfa's classic twin-cam four designed by one-time Ferrari engineer Giuseppe Busso.
The Giulietta family's success surprised even Alfa themselves: production targets were revised upwards and to satisfy demands for increased performance upgraded 'Veloce' versions of the Sprint coupé and Spider convertible were introduced for 1956.
The new Giulietta Sprint Veloce was soon being raced with success, winning its class in the 23rd Mille Miglia and finishing 11th overall, while class victories were achieved in the Coppa Dolimiti, Tour de France and Mille Miglia, and the Alpine Rally won outright.
These early Giulietta Sprint Veloces, with Bertone body numbers commencing '77', are now commonly known as 'lightweight' cars.
They differ considerably from the ' normale ' Sprint and were built in limited numbers: 252 in 1956...
