Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1957 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Veloce 'Alleggerita' by Bertone, chassis number AR 1493E 03808, is one of less than 200 built. Originally delivered to Italian hill climb champion Edoardo Lualdi Gabardi, it has participated in the Mille Miglia Storica and retains original features like ribbed boot floor and Plexiglas windows. However, it was restored using a replacement body shell.
Condition
6
While the car has been restored and retains many original Sprint Veloce features, the addendum indicates the car was restored using a replacement body shell, this could affect the value. The engine rebuild in 2001 and recent axle and differential rebuild are positives.

Description
124 hp, 1,290 cc DOHC inline four-cylinder engine with two Weber DC03 carburettors, four-speed manual transmission, independent front and rigid rear axle with coil-spring suspension, and four-wheel drum brakes.
Wheelbase: 2,248 mm The first of Alfa Romeo’s Giuliettas, the Bertone-styled Giulietta Sprint Coupé, debuted at the Turin Motor Show in April 1954 and was powered by a 1.3-litre all-alloy version of Alfa’s classic twin-cam four (designed by one-time Ferrari engineer Giuseppe Busso).
As the model was an immediate success, Alfa Romeo had to revise its production targets in order to satisfy demand.
There was also demand for increased performance, and as such, upgraded Veloce versions of the Sprint and spider were introduced for 1956.
Whilst the standard Giulietta Sprint and Sprint Veloce are both inspiring and very capable sports cars, the lightweight variant is a surprisingly different animal.
In order to make the Veloce competitive, weight had to be removed wherever possible...
