Produced on January 12, 1957 and sold in New York on January 29, 1957 this splendid Giulietta Sprint type 750B with matching chassis and engine numbers spent its entire life in the United States until being imported to Europe in the 2000s.
Purchased in 2011 by a collector in original condition and complete with all its parts, it underwent a long professional restoration lasting over five years performed with the support of all the best Alfa Romeo specialists.
The bodywork after being sandblasted and restored was subjected to an electrolytic anti-rust treatment.
The mechanics have been completely restored 100% in every original detail.
The upholstery has been rebuilt following the original factory specifications with original fabrics and materials.
In the first restoration phase completed in 2016 the car was brought back to its original condition as can be seen in the photographs below.
Later on, since the particularly demanding owner wanted better performance, it was subjected to a high level mechanical preparation.
In this phase the engine was again overhauled with the FACETTI preparation, the KONI road shock absorbers were replaced with competition shock absorbers.
Special suspensions with competition springs and shock absorbers were installed, keeping the originals separately.
The rear axle was replaced with a self-locking differential.
The standard steel rims on which new Pirelli Cinturato tires had been installed were replaced with very valuable and very expensive Borrani bimetallic aluminum alloy rims with AVON road competition tires.
The exhaust system has also been replaced by a stainless steel sports system and the water cooling radiator with a special oversized one.
The original steering wheel (new) has been replaced with a Nardi wooden steering wheel.
All original spare parts are supplied with the car.
The car has travelled 3000km since the total restoration and only 500km since the preparation of the Facetti engine.
Extensive photographic documentation of the restoration work is available and all invoices for the work carried out by the specialists for the work and spare parts used.
For ease of use and manoeuvring, an EZ electric power steering has been installed.
