Hi Pat

You can add the first Sprint Veloce to your list to your list, I've just bought 1493E*06193, a '58 Confortovale. It needs a complete restoration.

These were an in-between run of approximately 200 cars (according to Tabucci), built directly after the lightweight 750E's and just before the facelift of the 101 type nose. It is basically a heavyweight 750 Veloce, with all steel panels & framed wind-up windows.

The Confortovale's ranged from around Chassis 06000 to 06611, (known car) with 2 different specifications being produced, the first up to about 06300 and the second up to 06611. see this thread - ¬¬¬¬The Confortevole Debate!

A friend of mine has just bought the sister car, 06127E, which is in very nice condition, so at least I have an identical, (If 2 Alfa’s could ever be called identical), car to use as a yardstick.

Ciao
Greig
