Hi Lou, really love this video and these Sprint Veloce Alleggerita models are sooooo rare. I've been lucky enough to see one in the flesh in a collection in Switzerland and it is one of my favourite Alfas. A jewel of a car, and this looks so well restored, not overdone or pimped to look faster, just as it should be! Magic.

Very Nice :)
Glad you enjoyed this one :-)
:)
If there is reincarnation I want to come back as this car.
Hi Woody Glendell, That made me laugh out loud ! :-) Thank you for sharing a wonderful comment. Hope you see many more cars on this Channel you'll enjoy turning into :-) Lou
Blue is not the right shade

The reigning proof she must be a Superlightweight racecar ... being from that era .. and not holding even a perforated aluminum ashbox . Bellissima figura and I also like the 'Portofino' Blu :) ... would such a fine machine then race e.g. the Coupes des Alpes which offered some pretty rough terrain?
Hi Aurelio, Happy to read you enjoy this car. I'm not sure where this one would race. Hoping a Viewer can share knowledge to your question. Lou
I met John when i rebuilt the tunnel case for this alfa. Wonderful man. Said to hear of his passing
Happy to read you met John in person :-)
Wow, What a Beautiful Alfa Sprint Veloce Alleggerita!

Mr. Weinberger loves his Italian cars and this Alfa is superb. Tiny engine - for US standards - has a mere 1.3 liter capacity, but it’s all aluminum, has two camshafts and the fuel is administered by the best carburetors in the business.
Hi Andrew Graham, Thank you for sharing your knowledge on the Channel. Always a treat to read your comments, Lou
the std sprint special was listed at 125mph from a non turbo 1290cc in the 50's
When I have seen for the first time the speedometer I thought: "What the fu!! An Alfa Romeo with 140km/h max speed??" ... then I realized that is in mp/h... ahaha
:-)
Stupenda💖
:-)
Senza parole, una grande macchina.
Glad you enjoy this "grande maccina" :-)
A sort of Alfa GTA before "the GTA"...
This gentleman has such fabulous cars...
All of them are special, rare and beautiful!
(once I pointed the DeTomaso, now a see the dark blue car in the back, that seams to be an Osca Zagato...)
Hi Carlos, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) Here is that "dark blue car in the back" for you to enjoy, Lou ua-cam.com/video/1gBHeW2BAYs/v-deo.html
An absolute gem, and it looks very original. One thing I miss in all these vids is a brief table of the car's key specs: power, weight, engine type, etc. Lou's approach is emotional and enthusiastic, rather than rational and nerdy (and all the better for it !), but a few techie bits would be a useful enhancement to these videos, some of which could well turn out to be valuable documents of record for future custodians of these rare birds.
Hi Shane Norman, Glad you enjoyed this "absolute gem" :-) Also glad to read you're enjoying the Channel. When the Care Taker has details, I like to share them. Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
I'm very fond of certain shades of blue on cars and this one's very appealing! The grille has a really nice design and enhances the look of the car. Way cool looking bracket and logo!!! Looks like this lucky little ride found a good home, nice story! Great vid!! Thank you!
Hi WickedFireFly13, Glad this shade of blue is one for you :-) Just a treat to read what you see. You're welcome, Lou
Hello Lou, It's been a great day today in Canada. How about you in Illinois? Sooo... any plans for a future "My Car Story" videos? I watch every single new one and leave a comment on them, every time. I look forward to your future videos, John.
P.S, In 1957, a more powerful Berlina version, called Giulietta T.I. (Turismo Internazionale), was presented with minor cosmetic changes to the hood, the dial lights and rear lamps.
the ti had more than more dial lights it had a rev counter and more instruments which the berlina did not which
had a strip speedo. I sat in a race version in 1988
Hello John, Yes, many more cars coming, and please watch the commercials as that's how I get $ so I can keep sharing with you. Thanks for sharing your comments & knowledge, Lou
Love it! For a light weight car, it sure sounds solid. The "deletes" are tastefully done, too & it doesn't have that gutted look that you often see. Very nice!
Hi TheGunfighter45acp, Glad you "Love it!" :-) You're right, still looks like a complete car. Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
Really a wonderful toys.i 've never seen in italy one of these giulietta sprint veloce !
Hi eugenio romano, Glad to read you enjoy this Italia treat :-) Hope you see many more cars on this UA-cam Channel you'll enjoy, Lou
My Dream Car, is the coupe. John is like a great guy to talk to on a porch about passion for cars.
Hi Armani Nguon, Happy to read you appreciate this car :-) Thank you for viewing, sharing and I believe you're going to see many more cars on this Channel you'll enjoy. Hope you Subscribe, and hit the "bell" so you can see all the cars when they are uploaded on this UA-cam Channel, Lou
I would like to see a video done on that Fiat SUV ( I can't for the life of me remember how to spell it, I know they were built for the Italian military and police, but I never seen one in the US until now)
Hi Elizabeth Cherry, Usually a SUV does not make the "Car Story" but you never know. Stay tuned :-) Lou
Fiat Campagnola
Oooo what another amazing vintage from John! Love it sooo much, John
Hi John Roberts, Well said :-) Lou
Hi Lou! Sweetheart Alfa, and good color! Thank you!
Hi Bad Russian, Glad you enjoyed this "Sweetheart" :-) You're welcome, Lou
Hey Lou. Lovely looking 1957 Alfa Romeo. I've seen my share of Alfa Romeos in my lifetime, but never like this. Very nice. :)
Hey Jason, Glad you enjoyed this one :-) A rare little Italian car indeed, Lou
I agree. Although I've never owned one, I've always admired everything from Alfa Romeos, to Fiats, to Ferraris, etc. Thanks for posting. Sweet sounding engine.
Yes, sounds nice, agreed. You're welcome, Lou
I also love the hat John is wearing. It makes him look like a guy from the 1950s. Very handsome. :)
