unveiled a year later; the cabriolet, which was to be called the "spider", was produced in particular at the instigation of Max Hoffman, importer of a large number of European brands in the United States and who was aware of the importance of cabriolets on the overseas market. The design of the spider is by Pininfarina, who was competing with Bertone for this project, but whose lines were more appealing for their simplicity and resemblance to the coupé; the observant eye will notice that the coachbuilder was largely inspired by the Lancia B24, also designed by him. A ceremony was held when the 100,000th Giulietta was built and proved to the market that Alfa Romeo had become an industrial brand. Beautiful, elegant, racy, the adjectives that journalists used to describe this Alfa Spider when it was first released are the same today and the recipe for a light cabriolet with a lively engine still works, as this model is much sought after by collectors and makes the Spider a "must have". Delivered new in 1957, the example of Alfa Romeo Giulietta we present to you was purchased by its current owner in 2016 in 87 average condition, requiring a nice restoration. This was done, as more than 90,000 Euros were wisely spent on the refurbishment of this convertible in 2019. Presenting itself today in a very nice restored condition, the Spider features a beautiful original Alfa Romeo grey paint (Lead Grey) and a red leather interior. This choice of configuration made by the owner is not insignificant as it is listed in the Italian company's archives as an original configuration available in the Giulietta sales catalogue. On the mechanical side, the engine was cleaned and overhauled in order to be able to take to the road with peace of mind. Rare in this condition, this convertible is one of those cars that are often described with amusement as "more beautiful than when it left the factory"; here this popular saying is clearly true. To treat yourself to this myth of automotive history is to treat yourself to sunshine for the whole year. NOITCELLOC ED SELIBOMOTUA 1202 TELLIUJ 40 EHCNAMID
