1959 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint – Tastefully Upgraded Classic
This 1959 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint is a late production 750-series example featuring a recently rebuilt 101-series engine and 5-speed transmission. An older restoration that has been tastefully upgraded with a 1400cc kit and Weber DGV carburetor for significantly improved driveability and throttle response.
