1962 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint 1600 Coupé Coachwork by Bertone Chassis no. AR353825• Classic 1st generation Giulia • Beautiful original colour of Grigio Milano • Comprehensively restored in Italy • Registered in Italy • Prima generazione della Giulia • Stupendo colore originale Grigio Milano • Estensivamente restaurata in Italia • Documenti italianiFootnotesBy the time of the Giulia's introduction in 1962, Alfa Romeo's highly successful 'small car, big performance' formula, begun by the Giulietta in 1954, was well established. The Giulia is one of Alfa Romeo's many imaginative and successful designs produced under the aegis of Dr Orazio Satta Puliga, the company's esteemed Central Director. It was Satta who brought high-volume production to Alfa Romeo with the Giulietta, thereby ensuring the company's future. Alfa's classic twin-cam four was downsized to 1,290cc for the Series 750 Giulietta, gaining an alloy cylinder block in the process. The debutante Sprint Coupé was soon joined by Berlina and Spider versions, and then in 1959 came the ultimate Giulietta - the Sprint Speciale. Outwardly almost indistinguishable from the outgoing Giulietta, the Series 101 Giulia boasted a more powerful and much less fussy 1,570cc engine, in addition to welcome improvements to the previously feeble heating arrangements. 'Few cars can rival the 1600 Alfa for sheer driving enjoyment, and the keen driver devoting his full attention to driving it will be amply rewarded,' declared Car & Driver. According to the accompanying Certificate of Origin issued by Alfa Romeo, this stunning Giulia Sprint left the factory on 1st September 1962 and was sold to its first owner in the province of Novara near Turin on 28th September 1962. The original exterior colour was recorded as Grigio Milano, a silver metallic and the same as today. The car later changed province and is now registered with a CS number plate from the province of Cosenza in Calabria. Purchased by the vendor in 2016 with part of the body already restored, he embarked on a comprehensive restoration to finish the car – according him, all the mechanicals including engine, gearbox, differential, brakes etc. have been overhauled and a new interior in correct light grey cloth with blue vinyl fitted. As a result the car truly presents beautifully. Offered with some pictures documenting the restoration, the aforementioned certificate of origin, a certificate of historic relevance from Fiat as well as Italian registration documents, this Giulia Sprint with its classic Bertone lines is worthy of the closest inspection.
