Alfa Romeo Giulietta (Tipo 750 and 101) 1954-1964

First of all, thanks for sharing.

Turning a factory Sprint Veloce into an SVZ was not an inexpensive matter. On top of the 2.26 million lira cost of a new Alfa coupe, another 1.2 million lira needed to be added for the new Zagato body.

That is actually interesting and my eyes not that expensive.

What would be the most comparable car in Alfa's current line up in terms of price? A Giulietta Quadrifoglio Verde? It costs 30.990€ and if back in the day rebodying cost about 50% over the factory price, then (if costs hadn't spiralled dramatically over the years) for around 50 grand I could have a Giulietta QV Zagato.

Where do I sign up?

That's a interesting thought.

Here is another way to do a conversion into today's monetary value.

Back then, a brand new Fiat 500 was priced around 500,000 liras. Using it as a benchmark, you can say that Zagato body was valued at 2½ Fiat 500s.

Therefore, in today's currency, a Zagato body should cost you 2½ Fiat Pandas or €30,000. It is still expensive, but not ludicrously expensive.

Looks like it belongs in this thread.

It's so pretty! And he saved an old car to do this, so much props to him!

this is actually a Giulia, tye 101-21. (so a 1600 cc).

We this particular car in the paddock of Laguna Seca this year, where Conrad Stevinson is a regular competitor using various Alfas, but this one did not race.
