In 1966, the Giulia Sprint GT was replaced by the Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT Veloce, which was very similar, but with many improvements: an improved engine – slightly more powerful and with more torque – better interior and exterior changes. Together with the new 1750 Spider Veloce with a redesigned engine, the Sprint GT Veloce was launched at the 36th Geneva Motor Show in March 1966. Although the Sprint GT Veloce’s replacement, the 1750 GT Veloce, was introduced in 1967, production continued throughout the year and in 1968 the last 30 cars were completed. By then, total production of the Giulia Sprint GT Veloce reached 14,240 units.

This is a very neat Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT Veloce 1600 that was first registered in Italy on 2 January 1967. This is where it spent most of its life. In the history folder that comes with the car, we even have the original registration number issued in Verona. Remarkably, the paid road tax stamps and stickers from the beginning are still in it. This comes along with old Italian registration papers. When the restoration was completed, it was registered for the first time on Dutch registration papers on 27 July 2022.

This rare Veloce was recently fully restored. Alfa Romeo specialist ‘Berfelo Italian Car Service Goesbeek’ finished it down to the last detail. It is finished in Alfa Romeo ‘Azzurro Spazio’ blue with its original black upholstery, which is in very good condition. Unique features of this model include the bucket seats, stainless steel bumpers, the grille and the special dashboard. At the bottom of the car there are the original 15-inch Alfa Romeo rims with matching hubcaps. The stainless steel bumpers and trims around the car are very neat and complete the look. The interior is timeless with the beautiful dashboard & steering wheel, white headlining and grey carpets.

The engine block on a Veloce is also different. It is a 00536 Veloce engine. It consists of a cylinder capacity of 1,570cc and 4-cylinders. It featured modifications compared to the 00502 type of the Giulia Sprint GT, such as larger-diameter exhaust valves (37 mm instead of 35 mm). This resulted in 125hp at 6,000 rpm. On top of this, it was also fitted with 2 Weber carburettors. This is all combined with the 5-speed manual gearbox. It shifts smoothly and drives like a breeze.

This is one of the most desirable Alfa Romeo’s. This Veloce has been prepared with an eye for detail for new adventures!
