As can be seen from its certificate of origin issued by Alfa Romeo, this is a rare Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider Veloce, type 101.18, finished in red and first sold in Frankfurt, in Germany. It remained there and became part of Fritz Neuser’s collection in 2020; his workshop then carried out a major restoration of the car, with the work costing more than 30,000 euros. Today, it is as beautifully presented as it is rare, with magnificent bodywork in its original colour and an impeccable interior, with leatherette upholstery and a painted metal dashboard, equipped with a Blaupunkt radio. The speedometer, reading up to 220km/h, corresponds to that fitted to a genuine Veloce, and the chassis number is correctly stamped on the passenger side of the bodyshell.

The Giulia Spider, which had the same styling as the previous Giulietta but a 1600cc engine, was launched in 1962 before the Spider 1600 Duetto arrived. A more powerful version was added in 1964, the Giulia Spider Veloce: with a twin-carburettor engine developing 113bhp, this was capable of reaching 180km/h. Much rarer than the regular version, it was the ultimate development of the series of Pininfarina Spiders that had begun in 1955, the archetypal Italian sports cars of the post-war revival. Combining elegance and vitality, this Giulia 1600 Spider Veloce represents a rare opportunity to buy the most exclusive version of this exceptionally charismatic car.
