Summary

Alfa Romeo built the Giulietta/Giulia Spider for over ten years. Customers loved the compact sports car and used it in everyday life and even in motorsport. Of the 27,500 convertibles once built, only a small number remain and have therefore become expensive. Behind the wheel, you can immediately sense why the Giulia Spider was and is so popular. This driving report portrays an early Spider of the last generation and tells the story of this special Italian sports car.

Preview (beginning of the article)

The Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider was once one of the most affordable sports cars ever, with only the British being able to offer comparable convertibles for less money. The open-top Milanese not only impressed with its twin-camshaft four-cylinder engine and above-average driving characteristics, but also with its Italian charm, which is why it is highly sought-after and expensive today. In 1954, Alfa Romeo added a compact coupé called the Giulietta Sprint to its vehicle range. The saloon should actually have been presented first, but this did not follow until 1955 as the "Berlina". In the same year, the convertible was also launched on a shortened chassis.
