Selling An Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Speciale?
The Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Speciale, designed by Bertone, first became part of the Alfa Romeo catalog in 1957. Offering super-streamlined bodywork, the Giulietta SS was highly regarded as being one of the most visually stunning Alfa Romeo models of the 1950s and 1960s. Bearing resemblance to some of the most legendary Italian brand’s earlier competition designs like the Disco Volante sports racer, the Giulietta Sprint Speciale would see great attention from the automotive industry.

Approximately 100 models of the low-nose version were made from 1957 to 1958 and would later be replaced by a second series. The second series of the Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Speciale would offer buyers aluminum hood and trunk lids, and the elimination of aluminum doors and Plexiglas windows. Fender lines were raised to accommodate to U.S. regulations and bumpers would be fitted to the front and rear. This new edition of the Giulietta SS would be presented at the Geneva Motor Show in 1960. It would remain virtually unchanged until production was ended in 1966.

Selling Your Sprint Speciale? Alex Wants to Buy It!
Hello, I’m Alex Manos. For over 20 years, my passion has been classic cars, particularly the masterpieces from Alfa Romeo. The Giulietta Sprint Speciale (SS), Tipo 750 SS / 101.20, holds a unique place in automotive history and in my own collection efforts. It’s more than metal; it’s a blend of breathtaking art and engineering.
Born from Franco Scaglione’s visionary work at Bertone, heavily influenced by the futuristic B.A.T. (Berlinetta Aerodinamica Tecnica) concepts, the Sprint Speciale wasn’t just beautiful – it was incredibly advanced. Its teardrop shape achieved a drag coefficient of just 0.28, a figure many modern cars struggle to match! Combined with Alfa’s jewel-like 1.3-liter twin-cam engine (producing around 100hp from Weber carburetors) and a limited production run of only 1,366 Giulietta SS examples between 1959 and 1962, its desirability is undeniable.
As a dedicated enthusiast and buyer, I understand that selling such a significant car involves careful consideration. You’re looking for a fair price, a transparent process, and a buyer who truly appreciates the car’s heritage. That’s where I come in. Let’s address some common questions owners have:
Q: What makes the Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Speciale so special to collectors like me?
A: It’s a confluence of factors! The design is paramount – Scaglione’s genius at Bertone created arguably one of the most beautiful cars ever. Its aerodynamic efficiency was groundbreaking. Its rarity, with only 1,366 Giulietta SS models built, makes it exclusive. Then there are the variations – the very early ‘low nose’ 750 SS cars (the first 101 or so, often with aluminum panels and Plexiglas) are particularly sought after, distinct from the later ‘high nose’ 101.20 models which gained bumpers and some creature comforts but retained the stunning shape. The advanced twin-cam engine, shared with the racier Sprint Zagato, provides the performance to back up the looks. It’s a true icon.
Q: How can I determine the real Giulietta Sprint Speciale values?
A: Valuing an SS is complex. Auction results and online guides offer a snapshot (often ranging from $65,000 to over $150,000), but the specific value hinges on many details:
- Condition: Concours restoration, driver quality, or project car? Rust assessment is crucial.
- Originality: Does it have its matching-numbers engine? Is it a rare ‘low nose’ example? Original components matter greatly.
- History: Documented ownership, maintenance records, and period competition history (if any) significantly boost value.
- Market Fluctuations: Demand changes.
With two decades focused on buying classic Alfas, I have my finger on the pulse of the market. I provide fair, transparent valuations based on your car’s unique characteristics and current conditions, ensuring you understand how the value is determined.
Q: What are the biggest headaches when trying to “Sell my Sprint Speciale”?
A: Selling a classic like the SS can be demanding:
- Time Drain: Marketing, answering endless questions, scheduling viewings – it consumes valuable time.
- Finding a Serious Buyer: Locating a genuine, qualified Sprint Speciale buyer who understands the car and has the funds ready can be difficult.
- Condition Issues: Addressing potential buyer concerns about condition, especially hidden rust or mechanical needs, can stall a sale or lead to lowball offers.
- Valuation & Negotiation: Getting a fair price without expert knowledge can be stressful.
- Logistics & Risk: Managing secure payment, title transfer, and shipping adds complexity and potential pitfalls.

Q: What’s the best approach for “How to sell an Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Speciale” – auctions, private sales?
A: You have options, but consider the trade-offs:
- Auctions: Offer wide exposure but come with hefty seller’s fees, no guarantee of sale, price uncertainty, and long waiting times for payment. You also lose control over the process.
- Private Sale: You control the process, but it requires significant personal effort, marketing costs, dealing with time-wasters, and handling the transaction securely yourself.
- Anonymous Online Platforms: Can lack transparency and present risks regarding buyer legitimacy and payment security.
Selling directly to a known, reputable buyer like myself eliminates these hurdles. I offer a clear, immediate, and guaranteed purchase.
Q: Why choose a dedicated buyer like Alex Manos over an Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Speciale dealer or other methods?
A: While some dealers handle classics, selling directly to me offers unique advantages. I’m not just a middleman; I’m the direct buyer. This means:
- Personal Expertise & Passion: I appreciate the nuances of your SS.
- Transparency: You deal directly with me, Alex Manos, a public and accessible buyer.
- Speed & Certainty: I make immediate offers and provide immediate payment. No consignment periods or auction uncertainty.
- No Fees: Unlike auctions or some consignment dealers, I charge no commissions or hidden fees. The price we agree on is what you receive.
- Convenience: I handle nationwide pickup at my expense.
- Any Condition: I buy cars dealers might turn away.
Think of me as combining the market knowledge of a top dealer with the directness and ease of a private sale, but without the associated risks and hassles.
Q: My Sprint Speciale isn’t perfect – is that a problem?
A: Not at all! This is fundamental to how I operate. I buy Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Speciales in absolutely any condition, nationwide. Whether it’s a neglected barn find needing full restoration, a driver with some needs, or a show-ready example, I am interested. I handle the purchase “as-is,” saving you the time, expense, and headache of pre-sale repairs. I arrange pickup from anywhere.
Recent Reviews:
“The experience was GREAT. Very easy, quick and professional vs “is it still available”. I put it in gear on Monday, on Thursday the funds were in the account and Sunday the Alfa was in a trailer heading to its new home. THANK YOU !!”
“I acquired my Alfa Romeo Giulia 1600 Spider with thoughts of completing it’s restoration and getting it back on the road. But time went by, and the Alfa kept waiting. Now at 84 years old I’ve decided I need to let go of the Giulia so it can finally have another chance with someone who will also enjoy it. I sold it to Alex. It was very easy, quick, and pleasant working with everyone there; their flatbed truck driver arrived at our home and worked with care to load the car and all its parts. I recommend them highly.”
“Alex Manos and his expert team made sure the process was completed smoothly from start to finish. The emails were easy to understand and walked us through the whole process. When we had any questions, the staff was very responsive and made sure we were clear on what we needed to do to complete our end of the process.”
“Great selling experience. You made the sale as painless and efficient as possible. If I have a car to sell in the future you will be my first stop.”

“Fast, courteous, prompt responses and dialog.”
“When in came time to selling my one-owner 1994 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce Commemorative Limited Edition Convertible, I contacted Alex Manos.

They told me exactly what to expect in the sales process and everything went as expected. Once we agreed on a price, they wired the money to my bank account on the same day. Then made arrangements to pick up the car. Their customer service was exceptional. If you have a classic automobile that you are thinking of selling, I would highly recommend that you contact Alex Manos first. I know that I am was glad that I did.”
