@ Alfaman75: I am sure, that there were alloy bumpers for the Giuliettas. You can be right, I don't know if the term Alleggerita was ever officially used by Alfa Romeo, as the first built Giulietta SVs were all Alleggeritas (AFAIK assembled by Zagato, because Bertone worked on overtime...).
There were no real rear seats on the Alleggerita, just some pillows (one of the very few parts, that lacked on our car) to seat on.
About your numbers of fabricated Giulietta SVs, I would say that there were more convortevoles than alleggeritas (series 750), but I think no one can ever tell...
The Giulietta my father owned was the very first Giulietta SV that was delivered to Germany in April 1956 to Auto König in Munich.
The first owners of our former car were the two brothers Zeller from Hammerau in Germany. Walter Zeller was a famous motobike racer (second on europe championchip on BMW RS). They collected and raced cars like Mercedes 300SL and an unique Ferrari 166.
They raced the Giulietta in the 50s with kind of semi-works assistance (1956 1000km ADAC Rennen at the Nürburgring for example)
What would be interesting. Our car had all-aluminium doors, so the skin AND the frame were aluminium. My father had a set of spare doors (the last from Alfa Romeo Frankfurt in the early 80s) with alumium skin and steel frame.
What kind of doors do your cars have?
