Giulietta Spider Veloce 10107 1495*10201. This car is available now in the San Francisco Bay Area for $39,875. The seller has owned the car since 1985 and has been using it since. Engine in the car is not original and has been recently rebuilt but the original comes with the car.
Looks like a really nice patina on a well loved driver -the perfect compliment to my Sprint -alas I don’t have $40K burning a hole in my pocket…

Giulietta Spider 750D 1495*07183, 1315*45807. Another fabulous Giulietta out of Germany, this Spider is available from Wunscholdtimer for 39,500 Euro’s or about $52,000 at the time of writing. A lot of money but a very nice, original appearing Spider.
This car looks to have either been extremely well cared for since new or it’s an older restoration. The paint is great but some of the interior and engine compartment components lack the luster expected of a ‘new’ restoration. This is about as nice as I’d want a car to be. Front end looks amazing.

8/11/10: No more beating around the bush -the car has been listed for $35K ‘buy it now’ or ‘make offer’. Throw an offer their way between the last high bid and the asking and maybe it can be yours.
8/10/10: 19 bids saw this car make $22,200 but the reserve was not met. Seller says they have the correct seats which is a plus. This car will probably be relisted and reach about the same high bid. I’m beginning to think eBay is not really suited for cars like this.
Giulietta Spider 750D 1495*05488, 1315*44524. This car is on eBay right now out of South Carolina. Condition is along the lines of well cared for drivers with some hidden blemishes and unoriginal parts -seats the most glaring feature in this category.
Hood fit is good, paint looks okay but not great. Trim -especially bumpers is presentable but not excellent. Just my kind of car!

Update 8/9/10: This car has turned up for sale yet again, this time on San Francisco Bay Area craigslist for $29,500 I find it hard to believe work to the tune of about $10K has been done to it but it’s a free country and a fool and his money…
It really doesn’t look like a bad car and I understand that where there’s a buck to be made it will be made, but at least rattle-can that rust spot on the front wheel so we get the sense that some work has been done to earn the mark-up.
Update 5/1/10: 23 bids pushed the price up to $14,100 but the reserve was not met. I wouldn’t have sold it for that either. What’s fair for this car? The market will eventually decide, but my opinion is somewhere between $16k and $18k, maybe a little more if it’s better in person than the pictures, but that’s not usually the case. I think the appearance of another early 750D in slightly better shape derailed this auction a bit. List it again after an eBay Giulietta Spider dry spell but before the Monterey weekend Alfa 100 year celebrations and things should go well.
Giulietta Spider 750D 1493*01503. This car is on eBay right now out of Northridge Ca. Seller is pretty well known in the Alfa world and a straight shooter as they say. Car was on Craigslist not long ago… can’t remember when or where exactly but I think in 2010 and I think in Colorado for I think about $15K. If you are looking to restore an early one in the rolling restoration style then this is your car to start with!
Very nice and straight other than a bump in the bumper. Hood fit is not quite right on the passenger side but not terrible or anything.

Brad Baum, a southern California Giulietta owner/restorer/enthusiast -whose name you may recognize, was in Italy for the Alfa Romeo 100 year celebration and sent me these pictures from a parking lot in Rho. He focused on the rare and interesting bits on the cars there. Check it out. Captions in Italics are Brads
This impeccable red 750 Sprint was in the Alfa museum parking lot Friday afternoon of the Centenario Alfa Romeo in Arese. I very much like the industrial design of this mirror, but it looks like it might interfere when the door is opened.

Giulietta Sprint 750B 1493*07790. This car is available now from FS Automoveis in Lisbon for the not outrageous but high asking price of 29,500 Euro’s -$38,800 on the day of writing. Condition is good as far as can be discerned by the low quality pictures.
Good looking car! It has a unified patina and shine -the kind of car you want to buy if you want to just drive it home and enjoy it.

Update 7/26/20: $7350, reserve not met was the result after 17 bids. This seems cheap but then again there are not a bunch of guys queuing up to buy these cars and the that in combination with RHD makes me think a little more than the final result would have been a reasonable price.
Update 7/21/10: This car is now listed on eBay out of Southern California. The new pictures are nice and show a very original car.
Posted 2/18/10: Giulietta TI 10109*109054, 00109*00595. This right hand drive or guida destra as the Italians say, is available right now through Vintage Customs in Washington. Vintage Customs is Daron’s shop where a lot of Alfa’s (and other contemporaries) go to have rust repaired, get restored or be prepped for racing -check out some of the projects they have posted on their website while you’re there, neat stuff!
I like the color, I like the originality, I like the shine on the trim and well, there’s nothing I don’t like. A very handsome car!

Update 6/30/10: Elmar sent me an email making me aware of the picture below… must be the same car as this is a rare color and vent windows are even rarer.
Period shot of 533? Probably!
Update 6/11/10: I hear $250K is the magic number. I will have to chew on that for a while -not sure how I feel about it.
Giulietta Sprint Speciale 10120*00533. Elmar, the European correspondant sent me a link to this SS that is available now from Pegasus in Florida -car was owned my the owner of Centerline for a while. Condition is said to be all original and as can be seen it has the rare vent window option. I’m not sure what they are asking for it.
This is a great color- kind of a platinum gray silver. It’s said to be as good as it looks. Trim, shut lines etc are all fine.

Update 6/11/10: Is anyone surprised that this car had a hard time selling for $34,000, sold for a chunk less and now has turned up in Texas at DriveSource for $32,500? I’m not. I stand by my assertion that you have one (or if you are lucky two) chances to sell a car for a really good price and whether you wear the buying public out with multiple ebay auctions or stand by a slightly unrealistic price for a few months, you create a sense of undesireability or flaw -deserved or not, that makes potential buyers think something must be wrong with the car if it hasn’t sold. DriverSource has put some effort into the car and it really looks great these days, and I can say -having seen this car in person on the Lap of Marin not long ago, that it is a nice car, so maybe this car will find a happy home soon.
This car has been polished to within an inch of its’ life. Cool! I still think the windshield wipers sit way too high on the glass.
Original post 3/5/10: Giulia Spider 1600 10123*392337, 00112*15937. As usual Bring a Trailer has the drop on a cool car and have brought it to market exclusive style, this time in the form of this very late Giulia Spider. It’s located in the San Francisco Bay Area and looks to be a pretty nice example. $34,000 must be spent to own it, -top of the private seller market, which means it must be test driven and inspected in person -rather the opposite of a chore.
Nice car in a nice setting. These late Spiders are solid reliable and fun, so where better to drive it than among the vines. Mirrors are a little more forward than usual. Read the rest of this entry »

Update 6/15/10: $12,634.01, reserve not met was the outcome. Has not been relisted so maybe the high bidder and seller are working something out.
Giulietta Spider 10104 1495*08359, 1315*011500. This neglected but otherwise solid Spider project is on eBay right now out of Illinois. Car is said to be a long time Arizona car which bodes well for those worried about rust -Arizona is very dry. If you’re looking for a DIY project this might just be the car for you.
How you want to find them: straight bodies, paint you could live with almost indefinitely, about complete and untouched for years (whitewalls provide evidence of this).
