Hi folks!
Because my dad owned for quite a long time a original 750E Giulietta SV Alleggerita (the first delivered to Germany in April 1956), I am very interested to hear, where are all the Alleggeritas now.
If someone has questions about the specs of the car, he can ask me, I try to help best as I can, because I had my hands a few times on that pearl of a car too...
Everyone talks about the GTAs (which is kind of dream for me, too), but the Giulietta Alleggerita isn't by far as well known as the GTAlleggerita. Maybe because the later Giulietta SZ had more success on race tracks?
Some information for you, who are interested:
What differs the SV Alleggerita from the SV Confortevole?
Engine bonnet, boot lid, doors, bumpers (!!) and headlight rims are aluminium.
Side windows are plexiclass with sliding panels (so there are no door panels and winding mechanism).
Some claim that the rear window is plexi too, but I am not sure (on our car it was mineralglass on the rear).
Special lightweight seats inside (not the same as the SZ!).
Missing rear seats and glove box door.
21 instead of 14 gallons fuel tank.
The result were 190lbs/85kg weight reduction.
I hope I forgot nothing...
Some pics of our ex-Giulietta (I miss her...)
The air intake was added in the late 50s when the car was a successful racer mainly in Germany and Italy. These are older pics without bumpers which were missing when my dad bought the car in 1980.
With the original and very rare aluminium bumpers 1992 on the Nürburgring
The engine which was a mix of 750/101/105 (some of you noticing the both M6 screws on the cam cover)
The original (matching number) engine to pet and admire
The interieur with the non original steering wheel (later SS/SZ style)
