Why do the cars in pic 3 and 4 are so different from each other? Did they restyle the car that drastic?

It's a long standing name - you're looking at probably 30+ years of evolution there.

Ok... makes more sense now. Thanks for the info!

The name may be the same, but IMO there should be two separate threads: one for classic Giulietta (type 101 and type 750) and one for boxy Giulietta (type 116).

Thread could become too unoriented, classic spiders next to 1980s boxy shapes (though I love 'em both :))

Two corrections on this thread which I noticed today.

Post #2 from Matt is not a 1963 Giulietta Sprint Speciale. The front and wire wheels look out of fashion for the '60's Giulietta. I checked again and this pic actually shows a 1900 Sprint Speciale (1956-1958 model). Apparently Fiat does not know their own heritage by naming the picture wrongly :)

Same goes for post #9, pic 2. This is the front of the same car, check the radiator details versus the Giulietta.

Nevertheless, that one is an early Giulietta Sprint (type 750 B).

You are right about post #2.

I think your on to something, it looks to be the same as this 1956 1900 Super Sprint (http://www.automobile-catalog.com/make/alfa_romeo/1900_sprint/1900_coupe_3a_serie/1956.html) not the Sprint Speciale (http://www.favcars.com/wallpapers-alfa-romeo-1900-sprint-speciale-supergioiello-1484-1953-1954-15354).
It might deserve it's own thread

This one of 16 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Veloce Zagato coupes built between 1956 and 1959. All slightly different in detail execution, and all built for competition purposes, they were tremendously successful on the racetracks, rallies and mountain circuits.

That the line began with an accident is fascinating and tells a compelling story of mid-20th century Italian racing. Massimo Girolamo Leto di Priolo was a gentleman racer who took delivery of a new Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Veloce in May, 1956. Four days later, he drove his new car in the Mille Miglia, where he promptly crashed into a riverbed, essentially destroying the bodywork. Rather than having his car repaired to factory standards, Leto di Priolo had the remains taken to Zagato, who cut the wrecked panels off the platform and built a new body in its place.

With a more aerodynamic shape and an alloy body weighing over 100 kg less than the steel-panelled factory car, this Sprint Veloce Zagato coupe was soon racking up a string of victories through the remainder of 1956 and into 1957. It did not take long for his fellow competitors, especially those with Giulietta Sprint Veloces, to take notice. 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.

This is not the only 1495 model that was converted to SZ. Here is chassis 6716, a regular at the Monterey Historics.

Converted?

It looks like a later model Sprint Zagato (1960-1963), which were built together by Alfa and Zagato, unlike SVZ.

And what is 1495 model?

check the chassis plate of the blue one. Type indication is AR1493. (so indeed not 1495 ...) A real Zagato has 101.26 and then a number.

Ok I can see now, #6716 is indeed rebodied by Zagato, not a "factory built".

I did a little research to sort out Giulietta model and chassis numbers. Here are results if anyone is interested.

1488.xxxxx - Giulietta Berlina
1468.xxxxx - Giulietta T.I.
1493.xxxxx - Giulietta Sprint
1495.xxxxx - Giulietta Spider

These are good for pre-1960 models only, they changed the numbering system for later models.

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.
