History of the 1600 Giulia Sprint GT Veloce “Twin Spark Restomod” offered here

The Alfa Romeo 1600 Giulia Sprint GT Veloce presented here was the top model of the highly desirable first series (“Step Front” / Kantenhaube) when it was introduced.

In 2016, the vehicle underwent a restoration and, at the request of the current owner, the front fenders were widened.

Between 2021 and 2025, extensive restomod work was carried out by the Alfa Classic Center (now Scuderia Sportiva Servizio) in Dortmund.

The goal was clear: to create one of the fastest Bertone Coupés possible without compromising everyday usability.

The following upgrades and refinements were implemented:

Engine & Drivetrain

• Complete overhaul and optimization of a 2-liter Alfa Romeo Twin Spark engine
• System-lightened crankshaft
• Custom lightweight connecting rods
• Newly manufactured forged pistons with piston oil cooling
• Custom lightweight flywheel
• Ported cylinder head
• Larger valves
• Optimized cylinder head
• Specially manufactured performance camshafts
• Conversion from dual carburetors to fully programmable fuel injection
• 5-speed sport gearbox with hollow-drilled shafts and lightweight gear set
• SACHS racing clutch

Suspension & Chassis

• Custom Bilstein sport dampers
• Eibach sport springs, lowered by 30 mm
• Motorsport oil/water heat exchanger
• Motorsport alternator and lightweight starter
• Limited-slip 2-liter rear axle (10:41)
• Hand-crafted stainless steel exhaust system with tubular headers

Wheels & Tires

• GTA replica wheels 7x14
• Toyo tires 195/65-14

Additional Technical Upgrades

• New 55-liter fuel tank
• Gel battery relocated to the trunk
• Conversion from floor-mounted to hanging pedal box
• Dual-circuit braking system
• ATE 4-piston front brake calipers with ventilated discs

Interior

• Original Veloce seats
• Driveshaft tunnel trimmed in leather
• GTA steering wheel (replica) with polished spokes
• Perforated headliner in black Alcantara
• Tinted glass

The total investment, according to available invoices, exceeds €250,000.

This Veloce was first registered on June 6, 1966 in Italy.

In 2016, the car was sold to its most recent owner, under whose direction the restoration and conversion work described above was carried out.

The vehicle currently retains Italian registration documents.
