1962 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint - Episode 007

[@3ducs]

My first car, as a 20 year old in 1967, was a Giulia Sprint Normale, white like this. Three leading shoe front brakes, started rusting almost immediately. But I learned a lot while owning it, that car led to many more Alfas. I haven't had an Alfa for 30 years, I'm hoping to rectify that soon, there is a very rusty but straight and complete 1971 1750 GTV about 20 minutes from me that I am hoping to pry away from its hoarder owner. It needs EVERYTHING but I've done several rotisserie restorations of cars in the past, including three Jaguar XK-Es, I'm 78 but I feel I have at least one more restoration job left in me. This is a great channel, I recently discovered it and just subscribed.

Thanks - A great video about the most beautiful car ever built, in my humble opinion. Pablo Picasso had one, he always had an eye for beautiful women.

It is a beautiful design that I loved at first glance.

I have the 1575 version of this motor/gearbox in a 1957 Lotus XI replica. Agree completely with the comment that it punches above its weight. And that Alfa sound!

My favorit car, a shame that KZbin has a few videos like this. Congratulations!

To whom shall I address my complaint about the lack of driving gloves? Another fantastic episode. Bravo.

I’ve got a slide somewhere and I’m sure there is one of these in the photo. My grandparents did a European holiday in 1959. The photo has the Swiss Alps in the background...,I think.

These cars were direct competitors for the Porsche 356 and were more expensive than jags at the time. They also only got more pricey with cars like the ss, sv, and sz. These were not so moderately priced but more ppl could afford them than say the aristocracy of europe or the ultra rich for the 1900 series. Alfa then was where maserati is now.

You monstered that poor little thing Dave but I loved it. Has the owner seen this clip?

[@TheMotoristsTV]

Yes and the owner monsters it even harder!
