The Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider is without any doubt one of the most beautiful open-top cars in automotive history. The stylish and simple design comes from Pinin Farina, and the car was introduced at the Paris Motor Show in 1955. The Alfa Romeo Giulietta was marketed in various body styles, including this stunning convertible version, the Spider.
This fully restored Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider was produced in 1961 and subsequently delivered in early 1962 by the English dealer Thomson & Taylor. The first owner (a banker, Mr. Fitzherbert) had the car delivered immediately in Boulogne on special English ‘Q-plates’ and has made many trips through Europe with it since then. A very nice detail is that the original purchase invoices and the original service/warranty booklet are still present with the car. In 1977, Mr. Janssen from the Netherlands acquired the car. After this Giulietta Spider had been standing still for nearly 14 years, this second owner began a complete, professional restoration, during which the technical components were also fully overhauled. An extensive photo report of this is included with the car. The car was first registered in the Netherlands in 1995. Approximately three years later, this beautiful Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider passed into the hands of the third (and current) Dutch owner. He has taken this stylish Italian classic on various trips through Europe and has also participated in various international rally events. A FIVA Certificate is also included with the car. Incidentally, the car also had a Spanish registration for a long period (from 2009 to 2024) due to a second home in Spain. Currently, this Alfa Romeo has regained its original Dutch registration.
It is without any doubt clearly visible that this Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider has been maintained with great love and care. This is evident not only from the extensive documentation included with the car, but especially from the car itself. In 2017, the original engine was overhauled again and the bodywork was also repainted. What makes this car extra special is the fact that it is still fully matching numbers and retains its original color configuration. The car is therefore still in the stunning Rosso Alfa body color with black leather seats. Thanks to the loving care of the car's three owners, it is in excellent condition. The red color has a beautiful deep shine, and the various chrome and trim parts are also in shiny and perfect condition. This also applies to the rubber parts and finishes. The body panels fit together very well, and the doors also close solidly and securely. The black convertible top is in very good (almost new) condition.
The interior is in impressive and very good condition. The red carpeting forms a perfect combination with the black leather seats. The seats are not only exceptionally comfortable but are in very good condition. The dashboard is also still in stunning and perfect condition. The instruments naturally function properly, and the various chrome and trim parts are in very good condition. The wooden Nardi steering wheel is not only stunning to look at, but also forms a beautiful combination with the interior.
Under the hood lies the fully overhauled and original 1290cc engine with 80 hp. Therefore, sufficient power to drive this unique Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider in a particularly smooth and sporty manner. It is clear to see that this car has been exceptionally well maintained. A very large portion of the maintenance invoices are included with the car. The car drives and shifts exceptionally smoothly, and the brakes also feel solid and very good. Steering is also very smooth, but naturally, we would not have expected anything less.
This car is very special in many respects and is now waiting for the next enthusiast who can take care of this Italian beauty and, above all, enjoy it!
