The 750-series Sprint Veloce is very hard to come by and this particular example is the ideal candidate for a preservation class car. It's been off the road for several years and is not currently running. Alfa Romeo established the small car, big performance formula that would characterize the Milanese marque's finest offerings when they introduced the Bertone-styled Giulietta Sprint in 1954. Alfa's classic twin-cam four was downsized to 1,290 cc for the 750-series Giulietta, gaining an alloy cylinder block in the process. The Sprint coupe was soon joined by Berlina and Spider versions. The Giulietta model's success surprised even Alfa Romeo themselves; production targets were revised upwards, and to satisfy demands for increased performance, upgraded Veloce versions of the Sprint and spider were introduced. The combination of a rev-happy engine, fine handling, responsive chassis, and excellent brakes made the Giulietta Sprint a pure driver's car and explains why these stylish Alfa Romeos continue to attract the discerning enthusiast today.Matching numbers example that's never been restoredIdeal preservation class car Same ownership since the early 1960'sDesirable 750-Series car First time publicly offered for sale in 6 decadesRare, Sought-after, and Highly Collectible Sprint Veloce (Performance Model)Price: $67,500

About Alfa Romeo
Alfa Romeo was initially founded in 1907 in Naples to prepare a French origin Darracq-cars for sale in Italy.The company did not fare particularly well, so the Italians investors took over the company, which was given the new name of the ALFA (Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili) . Nicola Romeo took over the company in 1918 turning it into ALFA ROMEO.
In 1933 Alfa Romeo was rescued again this time by the government, turning Alfa Romeo into an instrument of Mussolini's Italy, a national emblem that produced luxorious cars for the rich.
However, pre WWII Alfa Romeo is best remembered by its classic Grand Prix cars;
The Vittorio jano designed Alfa Romeo P2 that won the inaugural Automobile World Championship in 1925, the sensational P3 which won its first race driven by Tazio Nuvolari at the Italian Grand Prix, 5 more Grands Prix that year by Nuvolari and Rudolf Caracciola,
As well as, those racing sports cars; the 6C 1750, that Tazio Nuvolari won the Mille Miglia in, the 8C 2300 that won the Le Mans 24 Hours from 1931 to 1934, and finally 8C 2900.
Alfa Corse closed for 1933 and eventually transferred them to Enzo Ferrari's now privatised 'factory' team Scuderia Ferrari
Post war Alfa Romeo might be best remembered by the all alloy Alfa Romeo Twin Cam Hemi engine produced from 1954 to 1994 or those 60's Italian films that all seem to present that quintesential Alfa Giulietta driven by The Carabinieri.
Today any classic Alfa Romeo make a great addition to an Italian car enthusiast's portfolio.
