1963 ALFA ROMEO SPRINT SPECIALE

First presented as a prototype at the 1957 Torino Auto Show, using the Giulietta 1,290cc twin-cam 4-cylinder, the Sprint Speciale was put into limited production to fit the FIA homologation regulations.

Between 1958 and 1962, a total of 1,366 new version examples of the Speciale were built. The design gained a higher nose, Kamm tail and improved interior appointments.

The Giulietta was replaced by the Giulia in 1963, and 1,400 examples were built through 1966.

Our car, an Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint Speciale, was produced in December 1963 and delivered to its first owner the 27th of November, 1964. It was first registered in the Netherlands on January 8th, 1965.

Today, the Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint Speciale, chassis no. AR380684 is in very good condition. The car is painted in its original colour (cream), while the interior, original, is grey and blue.

The Sprint Speciale has 65,905 kms from new and runs perfectly. The car comes with its original tool kit, instruction brakes manual and its user and maintenance book.

Original Dutch papers. US papers. EU taxes paid.

1954 ALFA ROMEO 1900 CSS TOURING COUPÉ - Alan Carrington Classic Cars Ltd Big Allington Farm, Pilgrims Way, Hollingbourne, Kent ME17 1RD

1954 ALFA ROMEO 1900 CSS TOURING COUPÉ

This very attractive Alfa Romeo is scintillating to drive and, with a history pinpointing its every move around the world, it has a provenance that’s as distinctive as its Carrozzeria Touring bodywork. As a thoroughbred example of the marque, it’s equally suitable for historic events or as a highly usable exemplar of the Italian coachbuilder’s art that could form a collection centrepiece.

Special coachwork on the 1900 chassis was a key part of Alfa Romeo’s appeal in 1954 when the car built. Carrozzeria Touring was the default choice for practical elegance, offering both the close-coupled three-window coupé and the five-window model we have here – one of a series of 949 examples constructed between 1951 and 1954. The difference between this one and most of the others is that’s it’s to the rare and most desirable CSS Super Sprint specification, where the alloy-headed engine comes with twin downdraught Solex carburettors and the transmission is a five-speed manual, in this case with its original column gearchange.

The car – chassis number 01801, engine number 1308-00844 – underwent a full and superb restoration starting in around 2010 and taking more than two years. In addition, we have lavished very many extra hours on the car, with comprehensive work and parts costing some £ 36,000. The resulting car is now absolutely beautiful.

The Superleggera bodywork is perfectly straight, its panel gaps tight and even, and the green paintwork is mirror-like and virtually unblemished. The chrome trim, badging and bumpers are equally excellent. Brand new Michelin X radial tyres adorn the beautifully-restored wire wheels, and the original Plexiglass rear side windows – typical of Touring’s desire to trim excess weight in the finished car – are very good and free or any serious scratches.

Inside, the instruments (having been rebuilt by North Hollywood Speedometer) remain superb, as is the flat, wood-rimmed Nardi steering wheel. The barely-worn leather looks glorious in its two-tone green colours, and the carpets and wool headlining are of high quality. The under bonnet vista is glorious and carefully detailed. The carburettors were rebuilt a few years ago and are in rude health, which is highly fitting for a car that simply begs to be driven fast.

Accompanying documentation from Alfa Romeo’s Automobilismo Storico Centro Documentazione (Historic Automobile Documentation Centre) confirm this car was completed on 28 May 1954 and sold new on 27 December that year to a Mr Rezzaghi in San Francisco, certain to have been the proprietor of Alfa Romeo agent Rezzaghi Motors. The first owner, a D Mitchell of Arizona, possessed it from 1956 to ’62 and covered 36,000km, and the second owner in Pasadena, California increased that to 72,000km over the next 10 years. From 1975 until 2012 the Alfa Romeo moved to Canada, mostly under the ownership of Peter Stafferton, who is well known to the Alfa Romeo 1900 Register run by the hugely respected Peter Marshall. He initiated the full restoration, at which point the odometer was ‘zeroed’. The car was sold by Gooding & Company in 2017 and the new owner brought it to Britain.

To be frank, it has been hard for us not to drive this car continually while in our ownership, such as the vivid performance, the super clutch and the surprisingly snappy action of the five-speed column change with full synchromesh. It has a pre-war car aura with modern sports car responses. We’ve managed to restrict ourselves to about 200km, ample to be assured of what a lovely car this is, and that it is now ready for the most discerning of new potential owners to sample.

1961 ALFA ROMEO GIULIA SPRINT

A former Rally of the Tests winning steed (2017), this Alfa Romeo is the ideal entrant for Winter Challenge, Classic Marathon , Rally of the Tests, and a plethora of club and international events.

Sourced and imported from Norway in 2008, #353276 was originally restored and prepared for motorsport in 2001 by Saul Manashe in Norway.  It has been comprehensively prepared, fettled and upgraded by Kevin Savage Motorsport of Lancashire and now features full roll cage, uprated shock absorbers, an engine coolant header tank, limited slip differential, comfortable rally-grade front seats, additional instrumentation and two Cibie Oscar driving lamps.

Our car was sourced and developed for known Irish motorsport competitor, Dermot Carnegie, at a cost of more than £32,000 in 2008 with invoices detailing the considerable work undertaken and all available for viewing.   Dermot campaigned the car successfully winning the Winter Trial and Rally of the Tests in 2010, all the while having the car maintained and prepared by Savage.

Amongst the many invoices from Carnegie’s ownership, perhaps the most notable reference a gearbox rebuild in December 2010 (£3,300), and engine rebuild in November 2011 at a cost of £5,700, which resulted in a recorded 137bhp on the rolling-road.

The reins passed in 2013 to the current keeper with whom many further successes have been enjoyed, always under the watchful eye and reassurance of being Savage Motorsport maintained.

In total, there are too many invoices to do justice to the car here, but suffice to say they combine to further evidence the winning-capability of this Alfa Romeo, and those who travel to view the car will be richly rewarded by the level of detail and expertise that they document within.

Accompanied with FIVA Identity Card dated 2013, and MSA/FIA Historic Regularity Rally Log Book numbered 10/009 & signed and dated 2010, save for minor preparation works to comply with individual rally regulations, this is a turn-key competitive entrant to a host of blue-ribband events.

Priced incredibly sensibly, we dread to think what the replacement cost may be today…..

“Cars with a purpose” is our favourite stock-offering, & they don’t get much more determined than this!
