Alfa Romeo’s second new postwar design was the Giulietta. Powered by a light alloy 1,290-cc four-cylinder engine, it came as a unibody 2+2 coupe by Bertone, called “Sprint,” and was capable of 102-mph in basic form. In the spring of 1955, a sedan version (Berlina) became available, and soon afterwards a Spider convertible by Pininfarina. The more powerful Sprint Veloce, introduced in 1956, would do 110-mph.

Under the bonnet of this red Alfa Spider is a 2,000-cc twin-camshaft four-cylinder engine, connected to a manual five-speed transmission. The luxurious interior is personalized with black bucket seats. Standard factory features on the Spider include: electronic tachometer, two-speed heater, hydraulic clutch, chrome exhaust, tilt steering, magnesium wheels and reclining bucket seats.
