Hi Patrick
Great idea, here are our 4 Sprints – info courtesy of Archivio Storico Alfa Romeo, Centro di Documentazione
According to our register the chassis number AR 1493.05262 originally corresponds to an Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint manufactured on the 28th August 1957 and sold on the 2nd October 1957 to Mr. John Palmar June from London, GB.
The body color is black (AR 901). The engine belongs to the serie AR 1315.
According to our documentation files, the chassis number AR 1493.05880 originally corresponds to an Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint, manufactured on the 28th November 1957 and sold on the 18th February 1958 to Titan Industries Corporation from Johannesburg, South Africa.
The body colour is grey.
The chassis number AR 101.02.160 835 originally corresponds to an Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint manufactured on the 14th October 1961 and sold on the 2nd February 1962 to Achberg Robinson from Port Elizabeth. The body color is Gardenia white (AR 005) and the engine belongs to the serie AR 00102.
According to our register the chassis number AR 1493.21726 originally corresponds to an Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint, manufactured on the 11th January 1960 and sold on the 22nd January 1960 to Titan Ind. Corporation Ltd. from Johannesburg, South Africa.
The body color is Alfa red (AR 501).
Interesting that my ’61 was sold to Achberg Robinson, in Port Elizabeth, where I now live – he must have been an importer as a friend’s Sprint was also sold to him in ’61. Titan Industries was the main importer in Johannesburg.
O5262 is column shift – Cambio Volante, while 05880 is floor shift – Cambio Cloche
