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.

“Having sold many cars in my lifetime, as most of you know, it always seemed to be so stressful and such an ordeal. When I was reluctantly and sadly ready to sell my 1965 Alfa Romeo 2600 Spider and after visiting a number of sites online and then reading the various comments made by past people who had had dealings with Alex, I decided to contact him and see if he was interested in my car. The sale of my car turned out to be the easiest, most stress free experience ever. From start to finish it seemed like everyone in his company, including Alex, was there to bend over backward to make the transaction as stress free as possible and help you through the process quickly and painlessly. I would strongly recommend that if you have a car to sell, especially a classic car, contact Alex and this very professional company!”
