The 1966 step-nose Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT Veloce 1600 has always had the film-star looks but is it still a driver's car after all these years? Many thanks to The Hairpin Company for the loan of this fantastic example: www.thehairpincompany.co.uk/f...

It is a shame, even if you stripped a modern car back to basics I doubt you would ever get anything that's the same weight or size as the old cars due to the requirements of airbags, crash structures and other safety items

@@jackmorgan5431 Yep, regulations mean we'll never have another like this (that isn't one of those reproductions like the aston and jag from a few years ago that cost a million). Amazing to think about how, back in the day, the reason you didn't need power steering was because the tires were so thin. Now, thin tires are considered economical and environmentally friendly, but only under a car that weighs two tons and requires the power steering anyway.

I’ve owned a 1973 Alfa Giulia Sprint since 2008 and it’s the most fun car I’ve ever owned. I’ve had several Alfa’s, the ‘86 GTV6 I owned from new was addicting to drive, was gorgeous, sounded even more gorgeous, but was about as durable as a potato chip. The ‘73 Sprint I have now is actually quite reliable and is the most joyful experience I’ve ever had behind the wheel. These cars are much prettier than they appear in photos and on tv. The lines of the body are just pure art. It’s a good thing I live in Connecticut where I have to keep the car garaged most of the year (they use salt on the roads, and these cars RUST quickly), it’s kept the body rust free and the mileage much lower than it would be if I drove it daily. And this is a car you will want to drive daily!

The feature in the bonnet we call it “scalino” literally means “step”, we use it to recognise early models from the later ones. It’s very nice that has the “Targa Oro” plaque means the Italian owner took great care of it. It’s also sad as it means another Alfa leaving his home country where most likely someone couldn’t afford to keep her anymore. It’s very sad, the past few decades there have been an hemorrhage of all sorts of Alfa’s, Lancia, Ferraris and so on as wealthy Americans buys them from Italy as they appear so cheap to them. I’m also aspecting all sorts of cars from the 80s early 90s (Delta Integrale) fly away to America as they get 30 years old. Unfortunately there are not many people in Italy wealthy enough to keep a classic car running, and most of the time it became a burden for the family, hence way so many get away.

What a lovely little lady... Amazing. And it lived not so far from me - in Grado! In the old days, I was quite often there, for an espresso at the beach... These early Giulia Sprints were quite a rare sight, they lived not so long, because of the rust. Later versions, most were the 1300, some 1600, were a little bit better protected against the brown problem. I knew some Veloces here, because the tax was quite low on these little engines, so it was a competitor against the E-Type, and the Mercedes SL. Expensive to buy, but relatively cheap to own and drive. Great handling, very robust engines - if they got warmed up softly. So they could reach more than 150.000 Kilometers without problems. But... Revving them to early gives an instand death. I think, this example needs to get on the road, because she sounds not perfect. If this would be my car, I would take her for a happy tour - and maybe for a date at Mr. Tyrrell for a little fine tuning at the carbs... Thank you for this video - greetings from Austria 🇦🇹!

I take my 1750 on the highway once in a while. It doesn't feel awkward at all. The seat is comfortable, the clutch is light, the gearbox is smooth, the brakes are sharp and the engine has plenty power to cope with traffic. Of course, it's still an old car from the 70s, with shakes and rattles, but is very reliable if driven regularly. I wouldn't think twice before taking her on a long distance journey. Doing all the maintenance work myself, helps with the peace of mind.

As a young man living in Austin, Texas in 1974 through '76, I had the extraordinary pleasure of owning a '65 version - white with Maserati air horns and Nardi wheel & shift knob. Blasting through the mostly empty central Texas rolling Hill Country roads at the time while listening to that lovely motor and feeling the road in that special Alfa way always brought a heavenly smile to my face. Over the years and decades before and since, I've owned and driven many wonderful sports cars, but driving the Gulia Sprint GT simply brought more smiles than any of them. Thanks, Harry, for rekindling the memories.

My dad had the 2000 GTV. I used to borrow it and drive the rings off it! Beautiful car.

What a sweet little Alpha! Part of the appeal of cars like this is the effort you have to put in to drive them rather than just sitting there cocooned in some modern , high powered offering packed with driver aids. Take the Alpha up through the gears to 70 and get a real buzz or do 100+ plus in your RS4/M5 etc and feel nothing. 👍

Any Alfa with that Twin is a winner. The 116 with the engine is perhaps under valued as people pour money into the V6. 105s are now very expensive for a reason. Nice flick again.

Beautiful car, I think the step-nose actually looks better than the later 1750. As always, great job getting "the feel" of the car across.

What a gorgeous car! ... from the analogue days! ... Proves the point, you don't need huge speed to be having fun! Love it's simplicity, the rorty exhaust note, and the fact that the design is just so!!

Cars like this are monumental in the automotive history. The carburetors, the raw sound via exhaust without catalytic converters and emission regulations in mind… I still have the memories of my grandpa’s Fiat 128 Berlinetta, that screaming 1100cc engine revved up to 7000rpm just to get at highway speeds at 4th gear! Today my modest Yaris with 1.0 3cylinder engine is capable for 100kmh at just under 3000rpm (and I really enjoy my car) and 5.4l/100km but I would take an old school Alfa or Fiat every single day… Another great video Harry! Thank you!!

Superb little car! I went through the whole range over the years, Junior, 1750 to 2ltr. Early example of a mass produced 5speed box was a delight and quintessentially Italian. Snorty exhaust and a very entertaining rear end in the wet !!
