When it arrived on the scene in 1954, Alfa Romeo's delightful

　　Giulietta series quickly became a best seller for the Milanese

　　marque, and it went on to become one of the most widely beloved

　　sporting cars of all time. Central to the Giulietta was its

　　twin-cam 1300 cc inline-four and brilliant chassis, each brimming

　　with that ineffable balance and character that defined Italian cars

　　of the period. The versatile unibody platform was cleverly designed

　　to accommodate various bodies and could be stretched or shortened

　　with relative ease. While it was intended for mass-production, each

　　variant highlighted the work of a different coachbuilder, and many

　　enthusiasts credit the mass-market Giulietta for igniting the

　　renaissance of Italian coachbuilding in the late 1950s. The

　　factory-produced four-door Berlina was the biggest seller, which

　　also formed the basis of a handful of estate versions built by

　　Carrozzeria Colli. Second to the Berlina was the elegant

　　Bertone-built Sprint coupe, followed by the gorgeous

　　Pininfarina-built spider. Bertone also produced the limited-run

　　Sprint Speciale, while Zagato was entrusted to clothe the slippery

　　and lightweight competition versions. Effortlessly pretty without

　　relying on heavy jewelry or exaggerated lines, Pininfarina's superb

　　Giulietta Spider was practically an instant icon and a symbol of

　　carefree Italian motoring in the era of "La Dolce Vita." For 1963,

　　Alfa Romeo updated their Giulietta line with a host of mechanical

　　improvements, the most significant being the 1600 cc engine, now

　　making 112 horsepower inSprint Velocespecification. The new car,

　　internally known as the 101-series was namedGiulia(a clever play on

　　it being a grown up version ofGiulietta). Offered inNormaleor

　　high-performanceVelocespecification, the Giula spider added a dose

　　of exoticism to the competitive sports car field, thanks to its

　　larger 1600 cc twin-cam engine, 5-speed gearbox, and powerful

　　finned alloy drum brakes. Today's collectors and enthusiasts

　　continue to cherish the Giulia Spider for its endearing character

　　and performance, making it a popular choices for rallies, tours,

　　and casual driving events. This 1963 Giulia Spider is presented in

　　the classic combination of red over black upholstery. The recipient

　　of a comprehensive restoration, this attractive example benefits

　　from recent service by an Alfa Romeo specialist. The restoration

　　appears very well executed, with high-quality paintwork in

　　excellent condition inside and out. It displays a pleasing depth to

　　the finish, complemented by fine detailing, including beautifully

　　restored brightwork and trim. It rides on the factory-correct

　　Fergat disc wheels fitted with new Vredestein Sprint Classic

　　radials, ensuring a period-correct look with modern performance

　　ability. The cockpit features period-correct black upholstery with

　　black piping, providing a dramatic contrast to the red paintwork.

　　Carpets, seats, and door panels are all in excellent condition,

　　displaying minimal signs of use since its restoration. Tucked

　　behind the seats is a new black soft top, which erects easily. The

　　remainder of the cabin is well-detailed with the original steering

　　wheel, instruments, period Voxson Sebring radio, and correct

　　embossed rubber floor mats and trunk liner. Under the bonnet sits a

　　proper 1600cc twin-cam and five-speed gearbox. The engine

　　compartment is immaculate and well detailed, with high-quality

　　paintwork and period-appropriate fittings. With its 1600 cc motor

　　punching above its class, this marvelous little Giulia Spider

　　delivers pure motoring pleasure in abundance. One trip around the

　　block in this lovely Giulia Spider is enough to experience why so

　　many enthusiasts get hooked for life on the joys of driving an Alfa

　　Romeo. Offers welcome and trades considered For additional details
