PDF 1957 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Veloce

Introduced in 1956, the Giulietta Spider Veloce featured hotter cams, higher compression and a pair of Weber dual-choke carburetors, which boosted output to 90 horsepower at 6,500 rpm-well more than one horsepower per cubic inch. Alfa’s unit-body chassis also addressed the age-old problem of managing a live rear axle by incorporating alloy components to reduce weight and stabilizing axle location with trailing arms and a differential-mounted triangular trailing link. The Giulietta was one of the best-handling cars of the 1950s and so good that its basic design persisted in the Alfa Spider into the early 1990s. Like most models the Giulietta “grew” during its history, eventually evolving into the 101 series in 1959, with a two-inch-longer wheelbase. Many aficionados, however, prefer the original 750 series and its 220-mm wheelbase for quick, precise handling. The longer wheelbase of the later Giuliettas and Giulias may give a more relaxed ride, but there is no substitute for a 750 series Giulietta Veloce’s nearly telepathic reaction to its driver’s input. The 1957 Giulietta on offer is an original Giulietta Spider Veloce with correct and matching numbers throughout. Restored some time ago, it is still in fresh condition and has recently been treated to several sympathetic performance modifications including new, stiffer Centerline coil springs, a thicker front stabilizer bar and period-correct Koni Classic Red shocks. Finished in white with correct black vinyl interior, the car has a black cloth convertible top in good condition. It comes with a factory tool roll, spare and jack. There is no radio, only a factory blanking plate, but the sound of the Alfa twin-cam four’s assertive exhaust note through its dual Webers creates its own tunes which no radio can match. {analysis}{auto}359{/auto} This 1957 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Veloce sold for $41,800, including buyer’s premium, at the Gooding & Company auction held in Phttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifebble Beach, CA, on August 15, 2004. The Giulietta will always be regarded as one of the most significant cars of the 20th century, not in the least because it saved Alfa Romeo after World War II. As a maker of expensive, limited-production high-performance touring and racing cars since the ’20s, Alfa needed a new plan to survive in a changed, post-war economic environment. The first step was the introduction of the 1900, a unit-bodied sedan that spawned coachbuilt coupes and a convertible. But this was just a warm-up for Alfa’s first real volume car, the 750 series Giulietta.
