Description
Few would disagree that Alfa Romeo make superb convertible motorcars.
And so the legend continues with the Giulietta Spider, proportionally perfect and powered by Alfas classic all-alloy twin overhead camshaft engine with gearing via a four speed, all synchromesh gearbox.
Although the 1900 had been its first successful post-war model, it was Alfa Romeo's next offering, the 1.3-litre Giulietta which established the 'small car, big performance' formula that would characterise the Milanese marque's finest offerings from then on.
The Giulietta's arrival in 1954 caused a sensation and the original Giulietta Sprint Coupé was soon joined by Berlina and Spider versions sporting elegant coachwork designed and built by Pininfarina.
Described by Cars Illustrated as “probably one of the most delightful small sports cars which will ever be produced”, the Giulietta Spider is certainly one of the most attractive Alfa Romeos of its day and remains highly regarded.
