Look at these gorgeous old Alfa Romeos

Last weekend’s Targa Florio has gifted us the perfect opportunity to publish many photos of lovely old Alfa Romeos - as if one other than “they’re blooming gorgeous” were needed. 

Need an update on the Targa Florio? It was onnce an outright race, but being a bit dangerous, it runs nowadays as a time-trial rally, just like the Mille Miglia.

To celebrate its “prestigious racing heritage” at the event’s 101st running, Alfa borrowed a few cars from the Museo Storico Alfa Romeo in Arese. These included a 1960 Giulietta Sprint Zagato (pic two), which has a 100bhp, 1.3-litre engine but, thanks to aerodynamic bodywork, a top speed of 124mph.

That bodywork came about after Italian racer Dore Leto di Priolo crashed his regular Giulietta, and took it to Zagao for repair. He asked them to make it lighter, and they duly complied by removing the body, fitting a tubular steel frame and clothing it in aluminium. This design was adapted by Alfa and put into production in 1959. 

Then there’s the Giulia Sprint GTA (pic seven), a lightweight, aluminium-bodied and thus 200kg-lighter version of the regular Giulia Sprint GT. A 1963 Giulia Sprint Speciale (first pic), a 1966 1600 Spider Duetto and a load of modern Alfas complete the package. Have a flick through the gallery and tell us which one’s your favourite.
