1959 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Corsa For Sale

A unique competition inspired Sprint uprated to Veloce + specification

History of this car

First registered new in Sicily on 16. 7. 1959 this Tipo 750B remained with the original owner until 2011, at which point it had been off road and stored unused for some 20 years. The next owner from 2011-15 set about transforming this Sprint into the amazing car we have here today, a tribute to a period privateer’s road/ race Alfa Romeo.

Over 50, 000 was spent , on parts alone, including a genuine numbered Veloce block, new old stock Conrero engine parts, original TZ tachometer, original SZ inlet manifold and much, much more; the mechanical build was completed by an old school master mechanic, and this Alfa delivers a driving experience like no other. We have over 100 photos of the mechanical build, so please get in touch to receive a DropBox link.

This Alfa has great charm and greater performance and is suitable for a number of events or just fun and fast road use. The Sprint was a competitor in the 2017 Monte Pellegrino Historic and appeared at the Classic Alfa Goodwood track day in 2018 (relevant featured photo copyright Ken Carrington).

Bodywork

Our Sprint has a superb paint job which would put many far more expensive cars to shame. It is the original Rosso colour and presents with a thin high gloss with no peel. Panel fitment is very good. The chassis is arrow straight and there is no rust or accident damage on this car.

Whilst the suspension was removed in the build, all wheel arches were bare metalled and given a thin satin black paint finish (again photo documented).

We have pictures of the car prior to the works being done to show the well preserved condition of the vehicle.

The glass and what little external trim is fitted is very good, and original SV badging is fitted throughout.

Mechanicals

Our Sprint has an incredible specification:

Completely rebuilt engine around a genuine numbered Sprint Veloce 1300cc engine block using new old stock Conrero cams, valves bespoke made from Conrero original drawings, three angle seats, ported and polished, Arrow pistons, all new bearings, seals, water pump, distributor and ignition system plus OE GTA type oil cap/ breather and original TZ inlet manifold. Around 1500 klms have been completed so the motor is still breaking in.
