Raced for 10 years in Switzerland then put in storage in 1973, and then rediscovered 33 years later.

The Alfa Romeo Sprint coupe coachwork by Bertone, was first revealed to the world at the 1954 Turin Motor Show. Powered by a 1.3-liter, all-alloy version of Alfa's veritable twin-cam four (designed by former Ferrari engineer Giuseppe Buss), the Sprint was an instant success, prompting the company to revise its production estimates to meet demand.
Public demand for a more powerful performance version of the Giulietta resulted in the Veloce, which was available in both Sprint coupe and spider form in 1956. Alfa Romeo, always astute to the needs of the racing community, made a special lightweight, or Alleggerita, version available to a select few that desired even more performance than the very capable standard Sprint and Veloce editions. Decreasing weight, thereby increasing the power-to-weight ratio, was achieved by using aluminum for the hood, trunk lid door skins, bumpers, headlight bezels, and many other trims. The oil pan and intake manifold were fashioned out of aluminum as well. Further weight savings was gained by the use of sliding Plexiglass side windows, allowing for the removal of window cranks and regulators. Modifications were made to the interior by deleting the rear seat and sound deadening materials in an effort to save as much weight as possible.
The result of all these measures was a weight savings of over 150 lbs. over the standard Sprint
Veloce.
