The stunning Sprint Speciale Coupé directly descended from Carrozzeria Bertone’s brilliant Bertone Aerodynamica Technica (BAT) design studies of the mid-1950s. With its extremely low drag coefficient of 0.29, it was aimed at competition, and a limited number were produced to meet FIA homologation rules. The Speciale utilised lightweight construction that had been built on the chassis of the popular Giulietta Spider, and it came with a domed roofline and gracefully peaked fenders. The Giulietta’s sturdy 1,300-cubic centimeter, all-alloy, four-cylinder engine was fitted with a pair of Weber side-draught carburetors, and it could produce a healthy 116 horsepower.

This was enough power to push the slippery two-seater coupé to almost 125 mph, which was considerably more than its conventionally bodied Giulietta Sprint Coupé and Spider siblings could achieve. The unique plastic air deflector mounted ahead of the windscreen, which was more commonly seen on competition Ferraris of the era, added to the car’s racy flavour. It is estimated that no more than 1,366 Sprint Speciales were produced between 1957 and 1962, in both Giulietta and larger-engined Giulia form.

Offered here is a nice, low-mileage example of this low-production sports coupé. This Alfa Romeo was delivered new to Tenerife, in Spain’s Canary Islands. The consignor is the third owner from new; he purchased it from a well-known local doctor. In 1994, the Alfa was repainted in its original colour and a set of new body seals was installed. The owner also notes that the car was mechanically overhauled at that time. A new stainless steel exhaust system was installed in 2001, and the owner replaced the stock front drum brakes with Alfa disc brakes in 2013, which greatly increased the car’s drivability. The original drums and related parts are included with the car, if the new owner wishes to return the brakes to stock form.

This car’s glass and chrome trim are described as being in good condition, and the interior, which is black with a white headliner, is said to be in very good shape, showing some wear to the driver’s seat and the kind of light patina that one would expect for a car of this age. All of the electrics and lighting are in good working order as well. The odometer displays a bit over 13,000 kilometres, which the owner confirms as original and correct; he has spent his entire life on the Canary Islands. This car “starts on the button” and is said to run well.

This smart little Alfa Romeo is also supplied with an Alfa Giulia owner’s manual, Spanish Inspection Technical Vehicular (ITV) documents, which date back to 1983, and a notebook with the owner’s comments, which date back to 1991. Most recently, it passed the ITV on 21 October 2014. Here is an opportunity to own one of Alfa Romeo’s most attractive small sports cars, one that is more than suitable for comfortable touring and weekend enjoyment.

Directement issu des géniales études de style BAT (Bertone Aerodynamica Technica) réalisées par Bertone dans les années 1950, l'étonnant coupé Sprint Speciale, avec son très bas Cx de 0,29, était destiné à la compétition et une petite série est sortie d'usine pour répondre au règlement sportif de la FIA. Basée sur la plateforme du Spider Giulietta, la Speciale adoptait une construction plus légère, avec un pavillon en forme de dôme et des ailes élégamment effilées. Le quatre-cylindres 1300 en aluminium de la Giulietta était équipé de deux carburateurs Weber et développait la respectable puissance de 116 ch.

Elle permettait à ce coupé bien profilé de frôler 200 km/h, nettement plus que la vitesse atteinte par ses sœurs le coupé Sprint et le Spider. Le déflecteur en plastique posé devant le pare-brise—plus habituel sur une Ferrari de compétition de la même époque—ajoutait à l'allure sportive de la voiture. La production est estimée à 1 366 exemplaires de Sprint Speciale de 1957 à 1962, sous la forme Giulietta ou Giulia, cette dernière disposant d'un moteur plus gros.

Nous proposons ici un bel exemplaire à faible kilométrage de ce rare coupé sportif. Cette Alfa Romeo a été livrée neuve à Tenerife, dans les îles Canaries, et l'actuel propriétaire est le troisième depuis l'origine ; il a acheté la voiture à un médecin local connu. En 1994, cette Sprint Speciale a été repeinte dans sa teinte d'origine et a reçu un ensemble de joints neufs. Le propriétaire indique également que la voiture a bénéficié à la même époque d'une révision mécanique.

Un nouveau système d'échappement en acier inoxydable a été posé en 2001, et le propriétaire a remplacé en 2013 les tambours de freins avant par des disques Alfa Romeo, ce qui a nettement amélioré l'utilisation de la voiture. Les tambours d'origine et autres pièces liées seront livrés avec la voiture, pour permettre de revenir éventuellement à la configuration d'origine.

Les vitrages et chromes de cette Sprint Speciale sont décrits comme étant en bon état. La sellerie (noire avec ciel de toit blanc) est annoncée comme en très bon état, montrant un peu d'usure sur le siège conducteur et une légère patine conforme à celle d'une voiture de cet âge. Tout le système électrique et l'éclairage fonctionnent convenablement. Le compteur affiche un peu plus de 13 000 km, chiffre que le propriétaire annonce comme étant d'origine et correct ; cette voiture a passé toute sa vie dans les îles Canaries. Elle démarre au quart de tour et fonctionne correctement.

Cette élégante Alfa Romeo est livrée aussi avec un manuel d'utilisation d'Alfa Giulia, les documents de l'Inspection Technical Vehicular (ITV, contrôle technique) espagnol remontant à 1983 et un carnet de notes portant les commentaires du propriétaire, depuis 1991. Plus récemment, le 21 octobre 2014, cette voiture a passé l'ITV. Elle constitue une opportunité de posséder une des plus attractives des petites Alfa Romeo sportives, et se montre parfaitement adaptée aux voyages confortables et aux escapades du week-end.
