Alfa Romeo Giulia GT Veloce
The Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT was the first Giulia sports model to be introduced and was produced from 1963 to 1965. It was unveiled during a press event at the then newly opened factory in Arese on September 9, 1963, and exhibited later that same month at the Frankfurt Motor Show. In its original form, the Bertone body is known as scalino (step) or "step forward," due to the leading edge of the engine compartment cover sitting 1 cm (0,4 inches) above the nose of the car. The Sprint GTs could be ordered in the Bertone De Luxe body including extra options. One of the extra options was leather seats. There were five leather seat colors available for the Sprint GT: dark brown leather (pelle testa di moro), red leather (pelle rossa), black, gray, and beige. After initially being marketed as a four-seater, Alfa Romeo soon changed the definition of the car to a more realistic 2+2. The Giulia Sprint GT was equipped with the 1570 cc displacement version of Alfa Romeo's all-aluminum double overhead camshaft inline four (78 mm bore x 82 mm stroke, 6,38 L oil sump, 7,41 L radiator), which debuted on the 1962 Giulia Berlina.

The Giulia Sprint GT was equipped with the 1570 cc displacement version of Alfa Romeo's all-aluminum twin-cam inline four (78 mm bore x 82 mm stroke, 6,38 L oil sump, 7,41 L radiator), which debuted on the 1962 Giulia Berlina. Breathed by two twin-choke Weber 40 DCOE 4 carburetors, this engine produced 106 hp DIN (78 kW; 105 hp) or 122 hp SAE gross at 6000 rpm on the Sprint GT. Like all subsequent models, the Sprint GT was equipped with a fully synchronized five-speed manual gearbox. The braking system included four Brembo disc brakes and a vacuum servo. The rear brakes had an unusual setup with the auxiliary cylinders mounted on the axle tubes and operating the calipers via a system of levers and crankshafts. According to Alfa Romeo, the car could reach a top speed of "more than 180 km/h (112 mph)"; the Italian automotive magazine Quattroruote recorded a top speed of 181,935 km/h (113 mph) during its road test in December 1964.
The car presented here is a completely restored Alfa that has been brought to a perfect condition. It has been restored in Germany. The engine is very special, this is a GTA engine that has been placed in it. It is the engine with dual ignition, so with 8 spark plugs. You only saw this with the GTA. The engine has been tested on the test bench and produced approx. 160 hp. This is exceptionally high for a small car like the Giulia GT Veloce. It drives like a new car, steers and shifts fantastically. A very desirable Alfa!
