Model overview

Model description

When Alfa Romeo introduced the 1900 range in 1951, it was the company’s first monocoque design, and would be built in large enough numbers to put the company in the black. The 1900-cc inline-four engine produced as much power as the supercharged 1750-cc racing motors of the 1930s, and it was this impressive powerplant that was downsized in 1954 for use in the immortal Alfa Romeo Giulietta.

Bertone’s handsome little Giulietta 2+2 Sprint coupe weighed a fifth less than the 1900, but the 1,290-cc engine generated 80 bhp, only 10 less than the 1900. Thanks to a higher compression ratio of 8.5:1, the coupe could just top the magic 100 mph. It was accompanied by a tidy little four-door Berlina sedan.

Pininfarina designed the first Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider in 1955 and it would be made, more or less in that form, until the arrival of the Duetto in 1966. Pinifarina cut five and a half inches out of the Bertone coupe and cross-braced the body for rigidity. The coupe’s column-shift gear change was moved to the floor and the sleek little roadster boasted a top speed of 103 mph.

The Giulietta Sprint Veloce was announced in 1956, with 90 bhp and a top speed of 109 mph. A Spider Veloce was also manufactured. The Bertone-designed Sprint Speciale coupe appeared in 1957. A stunningly beautiful interpretation of the Sprint coupe with a 5-speed gearbox and a 125 mph top speed, and 1,576 Sprint Speciales and Sprint Zagatos would be built by 1963.

In 1959 the 101 Series replaced the previous 750 Series. The Giulietta 101 roadster’s wheelbase grew two inches in at this point, and the whole line received a minor front and interior refresh. The Giulietta gained vent windows and windup side windows in 1960, the same year that a detachable hard top became available. The Sprint Speciale gained front disc brakes in 1963.

By 1964, the Giulietta had essentially evolved into the 1,570-cc Giulia. The line was enormously successful for Alfa Romeo and by the time the last Giulia was built in 1979, more than 400,000 Giulietta and Giulas had been sold.

Prices for excellent Giulietta Spiders and Sprints have matured past entry-level status, though Berlina sedans are still relatively affordable. Cars with needs, regardless of body type, remain an expensive and often unrewarding proposition. Electrics are fragile, rust is an ever-present problem and parts are both expensive and can be hard to find. That said, a sweet-running Giulietta is a joy to drive, and draws admiring glances everywhere, which makes finding one that can stay on the road all the more rewarding.

Common Questions

The value of a 1955 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider can vary greatly depending on its condition, mileage, options, and history. Typically, you can expect to pay around $60,400 for a 1955 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider in good condition with average spec.

Many factors can increase a car's value including excellent condition, exceptional originality, a recent restoration, low mileage, unique provenance, desirable options, popular or unique color choices, and excellent maintenance records. Upgrades and modifications that enhance performance or aesthetics can also add value.

Factors that can decrease a car's value include unusually high mileage, poor maintenance history, visible wear and tear, accidents or damage, title issues, and gaps in ownership history. Additionally, less popular color choices and extensive modifications that don't appeal to a broad audience can reduce value.

Mileage plays a significant role in a classic car’s value. Lower mileage usually increases value because it indicates a higher degree of originality, is rarer, and suggests less wear and tear. However, cars with exceptionally low mileage may also have maintenance needs due to lack of use. Whether someone should pay more for a vehicle with lower miles will depend on how they plan on using it, and the vehicle's specific condition.

The value of modified cars differs widely based on the type and quality of modifications. While some modifications can significantly increase value, especially performance enhancements and high-quality custom work, others may not add much or could even detract from the car’s value if they appeal to only a limited audience.
