Selling An 1962 Giulietta Sprint Speciale?
During the 1962 model-year, the Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Speciale would be retired and replaced with the Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint Speciale. While quite similar to each other, there would be a few noticeable changes. The Giulia Sprint Speciale would continue production until 1966. With just 1,366 examples of the popular Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Speciale manufactured prior to its retirement, it is considered by collectors and Alfa Romeo enthusiasts to be one of the most visually stunning and exclusive of all Alfa Romeo classics

Developed with competition and aerodynamics in mind, the Bertone-designed Giulietta Sprint Speciale is known for having quite an impressive drag coefficient. In fact, it is on par – or better than – many of today’s modern sports cars. Although the Giulietta Sprint Speciale would prove to be too heavy to meet the performance demands that buyers and owners expected of the brand, it would offer a forward-thinking design appeal that was simply irresistible to many. Powering this beautiful Bertone body would be a 1,290cc twin cam four-cylinder engine and dual Weber carburetors, which gave the classic Alfa Romeo a top speed of nearly 120mph with 100hp. These are likely statistics that you, as an Alfa Romeo owner, understand and love. If you’re thinking about selling a 1962 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Speciale, be sure to share these important facts with potential buyers.

Selling Your 62′ Sprint Speciale? Alex Wants to Buy It!
Q: What makes the 1962 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Speciale stand out to collectors?
A: The 1962 Giulietta SS holds particular appeal as the final chapter in the 1.3-liter Sprint Speciale story. It represents the proven formula of Bertone’s stunning aerodynamic design paired with Alfa Romeo’s high-revving twin-cam Veloce engine (~100 hp), refined over its production run. Its status as the last model year before the shift to the 1.6-liter Giulia SS lends it historical significance. Collectors often seek out these “end-of-line” examples. Combined with the overall rarity (only 1,366 Giulietta SS models built in total from 1957-1962), the ’62 is a desirable piece for Alfa Romeo aficionados.
Q: My Sprint Speciale is a 1962 model – what are its defining features?
A: Being a 1962 model confirms your car as a ‘high nose’ (Tipo 101.20) variant, featuring the standard specifications for the later production run. Key defining features include:
- The established ‘high nose’ Bertone body styling, constructed primarily in steel but typically retaining an aluminum hood and trunk lid.
- Standard glass windows for sides and rear.
- Factory-installed front and rear bumpers.
- The well-regarded 1.3-liter (1290cc) DOHC Veloce-spec engine, representing the final application of this displacement in the SS body style.
- A 5-speed manual transmission.
- An interior finished to comfortable road-going GT standards.
Crucially, it signifies the last examples built under the Giulietta Sprint Speciale nameplate before the Giulia designation took over for this body shape in 1963 (paired with a larger engine).
Q: How is the value of a 1962 Giulietta SS typically evaluated?
A: Evaluation of a 1962 SS centers on its preservation grade and authenticity. With the configuration being the standard ‘high nose’, the key factors are:
- Condition: Overall physical state is paramount. This includes the integrity of the body and chassis (critical rust inspection), the quality of paint and chrome, and the condition of the interior.
- Mechanical Health: Proper functioning of the original Veloce engine, gearbox, suspension, and braking system is essential.
- Originality & Correctness: Does it retain its matching-numbers engine? Are components correct for the final production year (e.g., specific trim details, instrumentation)? Authenticity significantly impacts value.
- Documentation: A clear history, maintenance records, and any restoration documentation enhance buyer confidence and value.
Its status as the final year might add a slight premium for collectors seeking bookend examples, but condition remains the primary driver. Current market data (Hagerty suggests ~$103,000 for ‘good’ condition as of April 2025) provides a baseline, but individual assessment is key.
Q: What are the established methods for selling a 1962 Sprint Speciale in the US market?
A: Owners looking to sell generally utilize several established methods:
- Placement with Specialist Dealers/Brokers: Leverages their network and expertise, often via consignment.
- Participation in Curated Auctions: Both online platforms and live events offer visibility but involve fees and uncertainties.
- Direct Engagement with Known Collectors: Can be effective if you have the right contacts, but requires personal effort.

Recent Reviews:
“Alex purchased my 1962 Alfa Romeo and after settling on the price with him I dealt with Roxana, the assistant to Alex Manos. She was very professional in every sense – prompt, courteous, exact and kind. The documentation, payment and transportation of the vehicle all went smoothly as expected. I would recommend their services.”
“Alex Manos was a pleasure to work with. I sold him my 1963 Alfa Romeo Spider and the transaction was very quick & smooth.”
“Our relationship was straight up and good from my perspective. Alex made an offer, sent the payment into my account the next day and had his people get the title transfer and shipping taken care of right away.”
“Good experience overall. Sold a 1972 Alfa Romeo GTV 2000 project car. Hopefully someone will be able to restore it. Communication with Alex and Roxanna was good.”
“Alex purchased my Alfa Giulietta. He was great to work with, offered a fair price and once the deal made, he wired the money directly into my account within 24 hours. The car was then picked up within the week. Extremely well organized. Would highly recommend!”
“After the passing of our mother, we knew it was time to say goodbye to a 1959 Alfa Romeo that my dad never rebuilt. We spoke to Alex directly, he couldn’t have been kinder. We quickly negotiated a price and within hours we had money deposited into our account and the car and parts were picked up 2 days later. Seamless!”
“I was surprised how quickly Alex responded to pictures that I forwarded in regards to a 1973 Alfa Romeo GTV that I was attempting to sell. He was the first person I reached out to concerning this vehicle and in less than 20 minutes he had returned my call. Within 30 minutes we agreed upon a price and the payment was deposited into my account. The vehicle was stored in a remote area of central Missouri that wasn’t easily accessed by automobile haulers but I was happy to see how knowledgeable individuals were within his organization. Even though this was a unique situation, everyone was very efficient and the shipping process was not stressful at all.”
“Alex made the entire process easy and as much as I did want to let the car go. It was time for me. Good luck to the future owner. I would not have a problem buying or sellin a car with Alex again. I fact I might actually buy one.”
