1965 - Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider French circulation permit Chassis n°AR*379185 Engine n°AR00112*14754 - Line signed Pinin Farina, incarnation of the Italian spider - Famous "double shaft" mechanics with synchronized gearbox - Aesthetic and mechanical work between 2018 and 2021 - Classic and attractive presentation 55 000 / 75 000 € In 1955 the Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider, which is part of the industrial growth of the Milanese brand, inaugurates a new line of small sporty convertibles. It was created at the request of the famous New York importer Max Hoffman, who guaranteed to sell it to American customers, who were very fond of this type of vehicle. The Bertone design office worked on the project, but it is finally the proposal of Pinin Farina which was retained, at the same time for budgetary and material reasons of production capacity. If the design of the coupé version, the Giulietta Sprint, was already very successful and had received an enthusiastic reception, the lines of the Spider, signed by Pinin Farina, are fabulous and unanimously approved. Despite its modest displacement, the Giulietta benefits from advanced technology with a double overhead camshaft engine made entirely of light alloy. The Giulietta underwent several evolutions, first a Veloce version with sharpened mechanics, then second series vehicles with a longer wheelbase, a more powerful engine (80 hp) and a synchronized gearbox from 1959. Finally, in 1962 the main evolution of the Giulietta Spider appeared: the Giulia Spider. Launched at the same time as the new Giulia TI of the time, the Giulia Spider uses the same "Bialbero" four-cylinder, twin-shaft light alloy engine, but with a larger bore and stroke than the Giulietta. This engine developing 92 horsepower and associated with a fully synchronized 5-speed gearbox, still quite rare at that time, allows the Giulia Spider to reach 172 km/h and to gain in flexibility and reliability compared to its predecessor. The Giulia Spider is compact, light, easy to handle and agile. It is a pure pleasure to drive, with direct and direct revs and a pleasant sound environment. To make matters worse, its seductive plastic is an icon of the post-war 7th Art, contributing to its embodiment of the "Dolce Vita" and to the strengthening of its legend. The offered car is a dapper Giulia Spider, in its characteristic red dress, with black hood and black leather interior with red carpets. It is presented in a beautiful general state of presentation and operation after important aesthetic and mechanical works in the last years. The bodywork has been changed, especially the floors. The alignments and adjustments are satisfactory, except for the doors which would deserve to be readjusted. The paint and chrome are flawless and even have a nice shine, which reinforces the jewel-like aspect of this attractive car. Inside the car, the red carpets are new. The soft top, obviously recent, is also in a near new condition. Mechanically, the brakes have been overhauled, the carburetion has been adjusted, the gearbox has been overhauled and the axle sealing has been revised. During the dynamic test of this nice spider we noted the malfunctioning of a part of the on-board instrumentation, but above all we noticed its good mechanical health. The car has a little less than 53100 km on the odometer and has kept its original engine (AR00112). The engine is equipped with a Solex dual body carburetor in accordance with the original type. This Giulia Spider has known an owner from Bourg-en-Bresse between 2003 and 2013 before the current one acquired it in 2014 on his professional structure of old cars, to finally keep it for his personal use for a few years after his cessation of activities, until today. It has thus had only two owners over the last twenty years or so, and it is now up to you to succumb to its charm to write its future. Homogeneous and easy to use, yet with a real collector's look and feel, the modern Alfa Giulia Spider will be the ideal ally for your Sunday drives.
