The Giulietta represents a turning point in Alfa's history. There are many primacies, such as its own name instead of an acronym or a number, but undoubtedly the most important is the racing one. In fact, right from the start it showed a racing soul.
In the competition field, for a long time, the Giulietta exercised a supremacy that has few equivalents in the history of motor racing.
The Giulietta, born in Alfa Romeo, seemed predestined for this vocation, but it showed such remarkable mechanical qualities that it immediately became the most natural choice for racing: first with the SV (Sprint Veloce), a strengthened and lightened version of the Sprint, the SVZ with bodywork by Zagato, and the SS by Bertone, and finally the SZ, again by Zagato.
Donald Hughes and Vito Witting da Prato spent five years on these racing versions of the Giulietta, doing painstaking research that made it possible to reconstruct not only the purely technical aspects, but also the events that saw drivers, gentlemen drivers, tuners and mechanics contribute to a fundamental chapter in the legend of the Biscione.
It is therefore a fundamental work in the history of this model that cannot be missed on the shelf of a true Alfista! A book that is now rare and therefore all even more valuable.
The book covers in detail the following models:
- Alfa Romeo Giulietta SV
- Alfa Romeo Giulietta SVZ
- Alfa Romeo Giulietta SS
- Alfa Romeo Giulietta SZ
