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, 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:
“It was great………..very simple and no problems with the paperwork, except with the towing company / driver. Missed the first scheduled date, late for the second day………..did not speak English, was not familiar with driving a 5 speed manual transmission………and I did not feel very comfortable with the location on the open trailer.”
“What an amazing and frankly seamless experience I had selling my 1978 Alfa Romeo spider. I live in Colorado and thought that would be a barrier because of the geography. Quite the contrary, people like salesman Jarrod made it seem that we were a street away. He had all the documents to me in a professional manner, made the entire sale super simple and within 24 hours they had bought the car and I had received payment to my bank account. Finally, the entire team was in contact with me so quickly regarding logistics, paperwork and other things I couldn’t believe it. Definitely an overall positive experience.”
“Sold my car and it honestly couldn’t have been any easier. Alex and team are professionals, everything was done as was said and the whole process was extremely fast.”
“A great experience! Very easy from the beginning to final pickup of my car. Valerie whom was my contact was very accommodating from the start.”
“Great and Smooth Transaction overall. Mr. Manos is a man of his word and and always answer his emails and calls. I highly recommend Beverly Hills Car Club to anyone who is selling or buying.”
“I reached out to Alex on Thanksgiving Day to inquire about selling my 1974 Alfa Romeo GTV 2000. I didn’t expect much to be honest–maybe a super low ball offer. I’m glad to say Alex contacted me first thing in the morning the day after the holiday. We talked about the car for 10 minutes and we agreed on a price that was satisfactory to me but allowed Alex to make a profit too. A great win win!”
“I have purchased and sold many vehicles and this is the most seamless transaction I have ever had. Alex and his team are professionals and get things moving fast!”
