Alfa Romeo > Giulietta Sprint Veloce
Go Back| Brighton Motorsports is pleased to present this classic Alfa race or road car for auction. The Giulietta Sprint was introduced in 1954 and was a big hit for Alfa Romeo with heavy sales as a sporty coupe that echoed the their racing heritage. Starting in 1956 the factory offered the higher performance Veloce version which included a finned cast aluminum sump, higher compression, hotter cams, tubular headers, dual Weber carbs, oil cooler, huge finned drum brakes, an 8000 RPM tachometer, and other modifications to make this model far superior to the standard Giulietta. The Alfa featured here was a regular at the Lime Rock race track in Connecticut where its previous owner of 25 years raced it, including many VSCCA vintage events. I have the event log book available with this car. The roll bar should still meet SCCA regulations. The engine has a 750cc Veloce bottom end with a 1400 piston kit and a 101-1300 head, intake, and dual Weber carbs. Gear changes are made by a lightened GTA close-ratio gearbox. The flywheel has been lightened as well. The rear end is a ZF unit with 5:12 gears and limited slip. It slows and stops very well, thanks to Giulia Veloce larger rear brakes. It looks to be a dual circuit system with a 1969 ATE GTV master cylinder. The no restriction exhaust makes the wonderful music you expect to hear from an Alfa race car. We bought this car with the intent of restoring it as a second vintage race car sister to our vintage racing Duetto but after a year of sitting we realize it is time to let it go. It runs great, the clutch, transmission and brakes are all good. As you can see from the photos, the nose has been pushed in a bit but nothing serious or structural. We do have the grills and other exterior trim to return this to a stock, street driven car but our wish was to return it to a streetable vintage race car. We had intended on painting the car black and retaining the stock red interior. This is such a fun car, if you have never experienced a vintage Alfa that has been built for racing it is very hard to put into words the absolute joy to be had. Though great mechanically, we would love to be a part of returning it to its former visual glory and will offer the new owner a very attractive price for a cosmetic restoration of this little gem. If you are viewing this listing you probably know as much (or more) about these cars as we do and if you don’t we recommend you do some web research to learn more about what makes these cars so special. |
