Only just spotted this thread and noticed you had no reply to your question! According to Archive records, the first manufacture date for a Sprint Veloce was 20th April 1956, just in time for the 56 Mille Miglia!
You can add my Sprint Veloce to the list and it was from the second week of production, made on 3rd May 1956. 1493E 01722, engine 1315 30025.
You've already got my Sprint 1493 00024 on the list and this is the first production car of 1955 made on 5th January 1955. It's interesting that it was first sold to Bonniers in Sweden on 25th May 1955 so why was a car in such demand and such short supply not sold for 5 months?! I guess it may have been an Alfa demonstrator or some such, but there is no record I can find at the moment.
