About this Alfa Romeo Giulia

With Pininfarina styling, Italian flair and a responsive 1.6-litre engine, the Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider has all the hallmarks of a fantastic sports car.

Introduced in 1962, the Giulia Spider was a development of the earlier Giulietta Spider, with a new, enlarged 1.6-litre engine in place of the original 1.3-litre offering, bringing increased torque and power across the rev range.

Aesthetically, very little changed from the previous-generation Spider - named the ‘Giulietta’ - which is very good news indeed, considering it was, and still is, widely regarded as one of the prettiest cars Alfa Romeo ever put their name to, if not one of the prettiest cars ever produced, period. In fact, the only notable difference was the inclusion of a small ‘bulge’ in the bonnet of the Giulia, in order to clear the larger 1.6-litre engine.

The Giulia Spider was also an interesting car for the wider automotive industry, as Alfa Romeo were one of the first manufacturers to put a high-output engine in a lightweight, mainstream sports car, with the Giulia only weighing around 1,000kg and being noted for its ‘lively’ performance, outstripping that of many contemporary sports cars of the period.

Just Arrived - This beautiful LHD Alfa Romeo Giulia 1600 Spider - Chassis No: AR 373727 was built in Italy on 18th October 1962 and delivered to Frankfurt in Germany on 20th October 1962. At some point in its life the colour was changed from Blue to Red and it was also taken to Cape Town in South Africa approximately 20 years ago. The last South African owner purchased the car in 2012 and had a comprehensive restoration carried out by an Alfa specialist in Cape Town and it really is in exceptional condition throughout and has only covered 4,040 miles since completion.
