1966 Alfa Romeo Giulia 1600 Sprint GT Classic Car

1966 Alfa Romeo Giulia 1600 Sprint GT powered by the 1.6L 4-cylinder with double camshaft, good for 106 hp. Few cars can match the Alfa 1600 in terms of pure driving pleasure and it will amply reward the driver who gives it his undivided attention." Car & Driver The Giulia Sprint GT was unveiled in 1963 and featured an attractive four-seat body designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro. However, the car was not built at Bertone, but at the new Alfa Romeo factory in Arese. Beneath the new coupe's sheet metal were the five-speed manual gearbox, independent front suspension, rigid suspension rear axle, and – except for the very first examples – the all-wheel drive discs recently introduced on the Giulia TI 105 Series sedan. The Sprint GT delivered 106 hp (compared to just 92 for the TI, thanks to twin Weber carburettors), enough power to reach a top speed of 180 km/h. Custom intake ducts featured the more powerful engine of the GTV (V for Veloce) Sprint with 109 hp, introduced in 1965. Designed for the driver's enjoyment, the Sprint was a huge success for Alfa Romeo, with production lasting fourteen years until 1977. This Alfa Romeo Giulia 1600 Sprint GT has 2 owners since new. It was bought on February 15, 1966 at Alfa Romeo in Paris. We know this because the original invoice is still present with the car! That's something you rarely come across. She was later bought by her second owner in Paris, who has owned her to this day. It is finished in this beautiful gray paint with the classic yellow headlights. She looks good, but her bodywork shows signs of her age, which gives her a nice patina. Her interior is in beautiful and original condition, made of red leather. Mechanically it is a driving car, but she could use some love to make it a classic. It comes with its original service booklet, invoice, delivery note, user manual, etc. She is a real time capsule with a great appearance.
