Extensively in Italy restored ALFA ROMEO Giulietta Sprint of the second series with matching numbers engine wearing rare genuine colour.

INQUIRY ABOUT THIS VEHICLE

With the Giulietta, so much changed in 1954 at the traditional Milanese company, which had achieved worldwide fame with highly exclusive vehicles manufactured by hand. The filigree vehicle, originally launched with the internal designation 750, was to have a lasting influence on the history of the brand and bring unprecedented production figures. The model was available as a saloon, estate, coupé and spider with a four-cylinder sports engine, which was previously unknown in this displacement class.


INQUIRY ABOUT THIS VEHICLE

The coupé named “Sprint” was a big hit and for many even more desirable than the picture-perfect Spider. The car offered here is from the second series, which was stylistically reworked by Giugiaro, and impresses on the outside with wonderful details such as the long side indicators and the “torpedo” number plate lighting. The original Bakalite steering wheel has been replaced by a beautiful one with a wooden rim, which sits enthroned in front of delicate instruments. The standard factory version of the car already offered 80 hp, which was really one of the best engines of its time.

If you wanted to, you could also do some serious motorsport with it – which this example was spared. The vehicle was first delivered to the USA in March 1959 and was registered in New York, as evidenced by a certificate from Alfa Romeo Heritage. The Sprint was later returned to its home country, where it was registered in May 2003. In January 2008, the car received the available certificate from the CSAI (Commissione Sportiva Automobilistica Italiana), which proves its conformity for participation in sporting events in the GT category.

The original engine is installed with the model-correct Solex carburettor and add-on parts. The engine was overhauled during the restoration of the vehicle and has since covered a mileage of just over 14,000 kilometers. The 1.3 litre unit has no trouble with the light vehicle and gets down to business remarkably well! The “cuore sportivo” with two overhead camshafts makes its presence known under acceleration in a distinctive but not obtrusive manner and even then made most of its contemporary competitors look old.

Newly upholstered seats in a two-tone leatherette/fabric mix and colour-coordinated carpet trim invite you to linger in the interior, where no retrofitted radio or even speaker holes spoil the look. This car does not need a sound system, the driving itself offers the best entertainment! Then all that is really missing are fawn leather gloves to guide the wooden gear lever, a cypress-lined road in Tuscany and the warm rays of the morning sun for perfect harmony.

The Giulietta Sprint is a “bella macchina” in its purest form. The desirable second series of the coupé combines the advantages of the three model series and embodies the dolce vita of the 1960s like few other cars from Italy. For those who still miss open-top driving, a contemporary Vespa is recommended instead of the Spider – is there anywhere a more beautiful duo…?!.

If you wanted to, you could also do some serious motorsport with it – which this example was spared. Like most of its kind, the car was first delivered in Italy when new and this one was registered in Messina, Sicily, as evidenced by the original Italian number plates. An American from Brooklyn drove the Sprint there until it was decommissioned about 20 years ago, as the document from the ACI (Automobile Club d ‘Italia) shows. In 2021, the Coupé was extensively restored.

The original engine is installed with the model-correct carburettor and add-on parts, while the gearbox is the improved 5-speed version of the successor model, which is clearly an advantage when driving.

In Germany extensively restored ALFA ROMEO Giulietta Sprint of the second series with 1.6 ltr. engine and 5-speed gearbox in special colour.

ANFRAGE ZU DIESEM FAHRZEUG

After the war, Alfa Romeo had to reposition itself, as the market for hand-built elite sports cars, which had previously been the brand’s core segment, was now even smaller than before. The then state-owned company needed a bright idea to continue and found it thanks to engineer Dr. Satta Puliga, who wanted to produce light sports cars in large numbers at affordable prices under the Alfa flag in the future: the concept for the Giulietta was born and made the model the dream car of an entire nation!

ANFRAGE ZU DIESEM FAHRZEUG

Introduced in 1954, the coupé was named “Sprint” and, in keeping with its name, was a sporty car whose beautiful body was designed by Studio Bertone. The car offered here is from the second series, which was stylistically revised by Giugiaro, and has larger tail lights and modified number plate lighting, while the interior has a three-spoke steering wheel with a black Bakalite rim mounted in front of the beautiful instruments. The standard version of the car already had 80 hp, which was really one of the best engines of its time.

ANFRAGE ZU DIESEM FAHRZEUG

Even more powerful was the “Veloce” version, which, with Weber carburettors and higher compression while reducing weight, reached a top speed of 185 km/h, leaving even the Porsche 356 easily behind. During its restoration in 2006, this car – in the style of the high-performance “Veloce” version – was fitted with a double Weber carburettors on a 1600cc engine and the 5-speed gearbox from the later 105 series, which was produced in parallel at the Alfa factory from 1962 onwards as the successor to the Giulietta.

ANFRAGE ZU DIESEM FAHRZEUG

The engine is also fitted with a fan manifold and open sports air filters from K&N, which underline the intense driving pleasure with the clearly audible Alfa sound. The Sprint belongs to the same owner now for more than three decades and has proven its high performance and reliability in numerous rides throughout Europe. In addition to the standard water cooling system, an aluminium expansion tank has been installed so that there is no risk of overheating even in warm temperatures.

ANFRAGE ZU DIESEM FAHRZEUG

The paint colour chosen for the restoration comes from FIAT’s contemporary colour chart and harmonises perfectly with the dark green interior in high-quality genuine leather. The colour-matched carpet linings are custom-made and round off the very coherent impression of the interior. The upper part of the dashboard is also upholstered in genuine leather, creating a much more upmarket ambience in the small passenger compartment than was originally the case when the model was delivered – just about ideal for long tours!

The Giulietta Sprint is one of the most beautiful creations from the 1950s and has lost none of its appeal to this day. Equipped with the 1600 mechanicals of the successor model, this Sprint is still clearly above the performance level of the expensive “Veloce” models and offers driving pleasure in its purest form with simultaneous reliability and best parts availability. What more argument do you need for a purchase decision…?!

ALFA ROMEO Montreal in extensively restored original condition with sports suspension, colour glazing and traceable history.

ANFRAGE ZU DIESEM FAHRZEUG

When Alfa Romeo exhibited the Montreal at the Expo in Canada in 1967, its futuristically designed front looked as if it had come from another star. To this day, the striking front end with its retractable headlight louvres is unmistakable. As is well known, the sports coupé was equipped for series production with the in-house V8 engine, which was derived from the Tipo 33 racing car, which finally made the Montreal the dream car of its time. However, at the time it also cost as much as a Giulia, a Spider and a GT Junior combined and remained out of reach for most…

ANFRAGE ZU DIESEM FAHRZEUG

This example was delivered to the first owner in autumn 1972 by the French Alfa Romeo general importer in Paris and registered there for the first time on November 29th of the same year. The car remained in France until 2008, when it was sold to a collector in Hungary and finally to Germany at the end of 2013. Corresponding documents of the earlier registrations and also some service invoices are available. In Germany, the Montreal received an extensive technical overhaul as well as a full TÜV approval with a historic car registration and was maintained by a long-time Alfa specialist until now.

ANFRAGE ZU DIESEM FAHRZEUG

The vehicle presents itself today in convincing body condition and appealing original colour combination – the metallic paint in the subtle “luci del bosco” is combined with beige-brown interior, which still features the genuine standard fabric upholstery. The entire interior has a well-kept appearance, is lined with beautiful carpets and is visually dominated by an excellently preserved Hellebore wood steering wheel in front of the main instruments. A contemporary Pioneer cassette radio completes the interior.

ANFRAGE ZU DIESEM FAHRZEUG

The factory suspension of the Montreal, which was somewhat undersized, was significantly optimised on this vehicle with a specially tuned lowering kit, PU suspension bushings and Bilstein gas pressure dampers. In addition, the car received adjustable swing arms on the front axle suspension as well as brake pads and hoses for sporty driving. The 195/70 VR14 tyres from Vredestein match the original “millerighe” wheels from Campagnolo, which were manufactured in a magnesium/aluminium alloy, very well visually.

ANFRAGE ZU DIESEM FAHRZEUG

All model-specific stainless steel parts are present, which saves the new owner the difficult search for replacements. The Spica injection system works perfectly and currently requires as little attention as the rest of the technology. The MOT was renewed in April 2020 without any faults – the Montreal is therefore ready for immediate registration. The good overall condition of the vehicle is also documented by a new valuation report for delivery to the new owner.

The Montreal was an exceptional vehicle at its time and is certainly one of the most desirable coupés of the traditional manufacturer from Milan. It took a long way until the market honoured the value of this fascinating dream car with corresponding prices. This “non-red” example impresses with the extravagance of its original colour scheme and the very good overall condition with optimised technology, so that a future value forecast is clearly positive!

Gorgeous ASTON MARTIN V8 Volante of the first series with automatic transmission and known history in top colour combination.

INQUIRY ABOUT THIS VEHICLE

After a break of almost ten years and an economic odyssey with changes of ownership, Aston Martin introduced the open version of their V8 Coupé with fastback bodywork in the spring of 1978, which had the beautiful epithet “Volante”. These convertibles were designed primarily for the US market, where there had been a gap in supply since the mid-seventies. Technically, they were identical to the closed version and – until the introduction of the Series 2 in the summer of 1985 – equipped with carburettors enthroned under a domed bonnet without air intakes.

INQUIRY ABOUT THIS VEHICLE

This vehicle is an early example which, according to the available certificate from the “British Motor Industry Heritage Trust”, was delivered to the concessionaire Hollywood Sports Cars in California in November 1978. In 2001, the Volante was then registered in Paris before being imported to Germany in 2010. It has been in current ownership since 2016 and has undergone an intensive restoration here, which was completed in 2021. The quality of the work, which included a paint job on bare metal, is absolutely convincing!

INQUIRY ABOUT THIS VEHICLE

The optimisations made during the restoration include the installation of stainless steel manifolds and exhaust system as well as an electronic ignition system from 1-2-3, which enables the best running characteristics of the eight-cylinder engine. The tyres of the refurbished 15″ original rims are model-specific from AVON in the size 235/70 and fitted with white wall rings on this vehicle. The dark blue soft top harmonises perfectly with the colour combination of paintwork and upholstery and is finished in Sonnenland quality.

INQUIRY ABOUT THIS VEHICLE

The interior of the Volante is lavishly upholstered in premium beige leather, which contrasts perfectly with dark blue piping and carpets. The numerous trims of polished burl wood show a very beautiful grain and, together with the chrome fittings on the doors, seats and centre console, convey a high-quality ambience in the interior. In front of the instrument panel, an easy-grip steering wheel with a wooden rim, black spokes and brand logo is positioned in such a way that it does not interfere with the view of the main instruments.

INQUIRY ABOUT THIS VEHICLE

To open and close the soft top electrically, there is a switch to the left of the
dashboard – an automatic is of course part of the standard equipment of a convertible in a vehicle class like the Volante. Thanks to the well-insulated fabric roof, the car is also suitable for “Grand Touring” and is – theoretically – also good for a speed of around 230 km/h thanks to the superior engine. But, there is no doubt about it: the real attraction of this vehicle lies elsewhere – open-top driving with the Aston Martin is really a treat!

With the V8 Volante, Aston Martin succeeded under difficult circumstances in creating an open premium vehicle that has long since matured into a classic. The first series, of which only 656 were built and whose styling features were also adopted for the coupé version, is particularly sought-after today! The vehicle presented here is in the best condition and is certainly an enrichment for every fleet…

ASTON MARTIN Virage (RHD) in top colour combination with rare manual gearbox and very low mileage.

INQUIRY ABOUT THIS VEHICLE

This impressive, handmade and entirely aluminium moulded work of art on wheels is the 50th Virage ever built by the renowned manufacturer from Newport Pagnell. After a production period of 20 years, it was time for a successor to the successful predecessor model, which, as the DBS since 1967 and later as the V8, accompanied the noble Aston Martin forge through turbulent times. Götterdämmerung began as early as 1986 with the development of the car, whose public premiere took place at the Birmingham Motor Show in October 1988.

INQUIRY ABOUT THIS VEHICLE

The specimen offered here was lacquered in Mason Black (black plain) and lined with black leather by Connolly, contrasting with grey piping and grey Wilton wool carpets – a choice that the buyer could not have made better at the time. There is also plenty of sumptuous burl wood to be found from the dashboard to the centre consoles and door panels.

INQUIRY ABOUT THIS VEHICLE

Equipped with all the available refinements of the model year, such as climate control, 8-way adjustable and heated driver’s seats with lumbar support and memory function, radio/CD unit with changer, to name but a few, this model also offers the coveted and very rare manual transmission, which gives the Virage considerably more power than the more frequently offered automatic version. The hand-built V8 engine, the builder of which is traditionally immortalised on a brass plaque in the engine compartment, has 16-valve technology and produces 330 hp from its 5.3 litre capacity, while delivering 475 Nm of torque.

INQUIRY ABOUT THIS VEHICLE

This Virage has a very low documented mileage of only a little over 15,000 miles and will receive a new inspection for delivery. The original owner’s manual with board folder, all keys and even the first English number plates with Aston Martin embossing are available and are completed by contemporary brochures, which the passionate second owner – in whose hands the car has been since 1992 – has collected.

INQUIRY ABOUT THIS VEHICLE

In the early years, maintenance was carried out by the Aston Martin plant in Newport Pagnell itself, later a service company specialising in the brand at the second residence of the long-time owner, in Hamburg. The car corresponds to the state of delivery without subsequent modifications and is “matching numbers”. It is delivered ready for registration with new inspection and new TÜV/AU full acceptance.

In 1990 this car cost about 400.000 DM and will certainly increase in value in the near future, similar to all previous models of the Virage. The clearly arranged number of only 365 units produced until 1995 only allows the thesis that it will become one of the most sought-after collector’s vehicles worldwide. A Virage is a car for the nonconformist, who sees it as a driving work of art with investment potential and takes pride in owning this milestone of the English noble manufacturer.

ASTON MARTIN V12 Vanquish with best colour combination in top maintained condition with new dealership service!

INQUIRY ABOUT THIS VEHICLE

It is already 20 years since the presentation of the Aston Martin V12 Vanquish at the Geneva Motor Show took place. The coupé designed by the British automobile designer Ian Callum was fthe top model of the traditional brand from then on and was still largely manufactured by hand in the long-established Newport Pagnell plant. The car was available as a classic 2-seater as well as a 2+2 seater and became famous worldwide through the James Bond film “Die another day”, where it can be seen in an adventurous car chase.

INQUIRY ABOUT THIS VEHICLE

Compared to its direct predecessor, the Vantage V600, the Vanquish was no longer equipped with a V8 but with a V12 engine that generates 460 hp from 5.9 litres of displacement. With its weight-reduced crankshaft and camshaft as well as the lightened valve train, the car produces over 540 Nm of torque and accelerates to more than 300 km/h. The automated 6-speed manual transmission is operated by an electro-hydraulic clutch that changes gear in fractions of a second – just as was “state of the art” for a premium sports car at the turn of the millennium.

INQUIRY ABOUT THIS VEHICLE

This vehicle was produced in 2004 (when the model had long since been freed from its “teething troubles”) as a pure two-seater in “tungsten silver” with a cognac-coloured leather/Alcantara interior – surely one of the most tasteful colour combinations at all! It is hard to escape the aura of this vehicle, whose dignified equipment included a navigation system as well as a parking aid and other comfort features in addition to the high-quality leather – true to the company’s philosophy of building luxurious sports cars.

INQUIRY ABOUT THIS VEHICLE

This Vanquish was first delivered in Germany and has been regularly serviced by its owners at the authorized dealership. The last service was carried out recently at Penske Sportwagen in Hamburg. The mileage is just over 46,000 kms. The standard 10-spoke wheels are made of alloy in 19″ size – they are fitted with high-speed tires and fill out the flared wheel arches well, which sustainably underlines the dynamic appearance of the vehicle.

INQUIRY ABOUT THIS VEHICLE

The car is factory-equipped with a sound system from premium manufacturer Linn, which turns the interior into a small concert hall – pure listening pleasure. The scope of delivery also includes the original accessories such as the Aston Martin car cover, the leather-wrapped “first aid set”, the utensils from the glove compartment and a German-language owner’s manual in the aluminium cover as well as a true-colour 1:18 model and the contemporary model brochure – in brief: everything a collector’s heart desires…

As a direct competitor to Ferrari’s Maranello, the Vanquish was aimed at the same well-heeled clientele, whereby the choice of name was not coincidental (“vanquish” means “to conquer”). Detached from all technical data, the body of the Aston Martin is more imaginative and pleasing than that of the competitor from Italy, which makes the model, which was discontinued in 2007, already today a sought-after neo-classic whose appeal will certainly not wane…

Cheque book serviced ASTON MARTIN DBS V12 with touchtronic transmission and low mileage in very attractive condition.

INQUIRY ABOUT THIS VEHICLE

Even before the actual world premiere of the model, the DBS V12 made its first appearance in a James Bond film: in “Casino Royale” with Daniel Craig, the new coupé could already be seen in spectacular driving scenes before it was officially delivered to the ordering first owners via the Aston Martin contractual partners from 2007 onwards. The media launch pad certainly couldn’t have been better. The DBS was produced at the new Aston Martin plant in Gaydon – but without the special agent equipment of the film vehicle…

INQUIRY ABOUT THIS VEHICLE

This example was delivered in July 2009 via the Aston Martin dealership in Kronberg. The customer combined the paintwork in “storm black” with an interior of leather/Alcantara in “obsidian black” and dashboard in “piano black” – the dark colour scheme makes the masculine sports car even more visually aggressive. The dynamic body of the DBS was largely made of carbon fibre to reduce weight and featured the typical Aston air vents in the front wings.

INQUIRY ABOUT THIS VEHICLE

For the first time, the chassis of an Aston Martin was equipped with ceramic brakes and supported by an adaptive damper system with various driving programmes. Power transmission in this car is via the touchtronic automatic, which was an extra charge at the time, and which sends the 517 hp of the optimised 6-litre V12 front engine from the in-house motorsport department to the rear wheels. If required, the DBS with 570 Nm of torque accelerates from a standstill to 100 in 4.3 seconds and only finds its limits at 305 km/h due to air resistance…

INQUIRY ABOUT THIS VEHICLE

The interior of the car is factory fitted with special sports seats with the model name embroidered into the Alcantara and a redesigned centre console. Aluminium and carbon fibre have been used extensively. This coupé has a 2+2 configuration, with the space behind the driver’s seats really only offering itself as a storage area for hand luggage. The feeling of sitting in a road-legal race car is reinforced by the narrowness of the cockpit and the clearly perceptible acoustics of the brute-pushing twelve-cylinder engine.

INQUIRY ABOUT THIS VEHICLE

The DBS has been in the hands of the current owner since spring 2018. The car has been serviced by its owners in accordance with factory specifications and currently has a mileage of just over 32tkm. It received a further service in September 2020 at Aston Martin’s dealership Penske in Hamburg. The leather-bound on-board folder and the model-specific accessories such as umbrella, car cover etc. are fully present.

During its five-year production period, 2,533 DBS coupés were manufactured. Fortunately, most of them were spared a fate like in “Casino Royale” (with 7 rollovers). This car impresses with its very well-maintained overall condition, its complete service history and the particularly beautiful aura it is given by its colour scheme – a modern Aston with collector’s potential.
