    Mine had some rust on rocker panels and needed an engine rebuild, but otherwise it was running OK, complete, and in decent condition. Heck of a deal for $300 in 1973.

    I bought it intending to do the necessary repairs, use it as a daily driver, and eventually completely restore it, but I was poor back then and needed college tuition, so I sold it :(

    Now I’m seriously thinking about a new Giulia.

    Not my car, but I owned one. Mario Andretti Edition Alfetta GTV. As I recall it had special lettering, Konis, Ansa exhaust, red carpets, Campagnolo wheels. My first Alfa.

    My 1999
    GTV V6.

    I haven’t lived in my home country (Ireland) for over a decade but still kept my last car there. One of very very few original Irish 3.0 V6 916 GTVs delivered. This year I got it recommissioned (clutch, fluids, brakes, suspension, alternator +++) and enjoyed it for a couple weeks while back home on holiday.

    Sunroof was never an option from Bertone, but was dealer installed from new I assume

    I found an old advertisement from my car when it was nearly 3 years old where the sunroof (opendak in Dutch) is mentioned:

    I already own it for nearly 40 years and it was completely rotten and covered in fiberglass when I got it in 1985

    It took me nearly 35 years to get it back on the road and was able to take it to the 70 year Giulietta celebrations at the Zandvoort race track in 2024 and park it next to the Giulietta Sprint which started my Alfa love affair in 1983. Lurani's grand daughter liked it also very much!

    Not the same car, but approximately in the same condition. Ca. 1960 Giulietta Sprint, paid $300 in 1973, sold 1974. I'd planned to keep and eventually restore it, but needed the $ for a semester of college - tuition was cheap in those days!

    Now driving a 2024 Giulia Sprint :)

    Wow! Quite the rescue. Congratulations on a beautiful job. I've never seen a Sprint with a sunroof before, it looks like a clean install inside.

    Can anyone see what's 'wrong' with my Early 1958 Sprint 750? Without knowing at that time I changed something particular for the last 750 Sprint's.

    The steering wheel and center cap are replacements. It's hard to tell from the picture, but the door cards may have a different trim pattern. Your car looks elegant!

    Nardi steering wheel & center cap are 'in period improvements' Whats really 'wrong' is the size of the headlamps. At the time I restored the body I did not know that the last of the Sprint & Confortefole SV's made after december 1957 already had the 7.25" headlights. So I managed to find a replacement front end in Germany with the old 6" headlamps and put that on. So now my Sprint has the wrong and very difficult to find Marelli 6" head lights. In the end I am happy about it because I still think the 750 Spinr is looking a bit odd with the big 7.25" lights.
