The Alfa Romeo Giulietta chassis was highly significant to the company’s history, as it set the course towards compact, agile cars, perfect for postwar Europe. Launched in 1954, the Giulietta ultimately appeared in 4-door saloon/sedan, coupé, spider and estate forms, all these being fitted with 1,290 cc twin-cam inline-four engines.

This 1961 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider is a remarkably original example that was sold new to Mr. Panichi in Siena, Italy, and was first registered on June 1, 1961. He used the car very sparingly, unwilling to show off too much in front of the employees of his gypsum company. The car was last used for the wedding of his son in 1982, after which it was taken off the road and stored in a barn. Soon after that it became blocked in and hidden by heavy agricultural machinery, only being rediscovered in 2015. Despite this long period of storage, the climatic conditions there were nearly perfect. As a result, the body, paint, and interior are not just original but are in truly stunning condition. In contrast to most other Giulietta Spiders, this car remained highly original, largely untouched and is a time-warp in its truest sense. According to the consignor, it retains its original paint, surface finishes, interior, engine, and gearbox. Upon acquiring the car some years ago, the consignor only undertook a sympathetic mechanical reconditioning, including an engine and gearbox rebuild.

This extremely original Giulietta Spider is presented in superb unspoiled condition, making it an ideal car for any number of classic driving events or even as a preservation class concours entry.
