Bettoja also owned a SV, S/N 1461, motor #30006, build date 4/24/56

Would it be correct then to say the that car 01849 was never made into a SVZ but was and still today a SVA . By the way the owner are a brother and sister from Naple . I had just spoke to them yesterday. I will post pictures of the car when completed.

Yes! (but the data I have only shows it as a SV, and not an SVA)....of course it could be wrong, as MANY entry lits only show Alfa giulietta; not even sprint or spider...

BTW, the #1795 painted on the underside coincodes with a SV with motor number 30031, sold 4/20/56 to Luciano Gianni of Genova!!??

I don't know what is under the body, but it certainly doesn't look like a 1957 SVZ, or even a 1958, for that matter.

Fascinating thread!
Being the keeper of the Veloce Registers, I would like to somehow work off of the BB to coordinate the SV's that were made into SVZ's if that is at all possible to help fill out some of the missing chassis numbers.
There is a nice SS listed on the vdvgrant website I will see if I can get some info and also the SVZ that is also listed into the registers.
Happy New Year to all!

Zagato has no list of which chassis they rebodied; I tried YEARS ago. I believe that a fair number of SVs didn't become SVZs until the 70s or 80s. IMO, there are only about 20 real SVZs, including the 1957 and 1958 body styles. I also have never seen a list of what cars were simply SVs and what cars were SVAs. Many entry lists just show sprint or sprint veloce, and some only say giulietta, so you don't know for certain if the car was a coupe, spider, or berlina!

Re: 2000touringsp – 2 pictures:
19590607 Nürburgring 1000km (D)
No. 80 SVZ #04657 Herbert Schultze/Eberhard Mahle, Berlin/Stuttgart (D), Auto-Wax Berlin, DNF (GT1.3, brakes)
No. 89 SVZ (T. 5081) André Pilette/André Liekens/Jacques Croisier-DNS (B), Equipe Nationale Belge, Bruxelles (B), 32oa, 7cl (GT1.3, DNF, carburettor troubles)
In your first pic of the 1958 Liege-Rome-Liege in post 46 you see a car No. 35 with open passenger door: this is the SVA of Bianchi/Weygaerts (B), a non finisher, probably Lucien Bianchi, the later Le Mans winner and formula 1 driver; Ferrari, Citroen and Alfa hero

Re: gtv2000
Thank you for your post, it helps a lot to clear entries with VINs.
Edgar Berney’s SVZ does not look like No. 12 at Spa: the Alfa heart seems to be lower, windscreen wipers are on the other side, outside filler cap. Do you have pics of Spa 1959?

Re: Joseph - #01849
As dretceterini notes, what does the number 1795 mean? Real SVs should have a own Bertone number in the engine bay (SVA #04337 has 77468 stamped), but this could have been gone when #01849 was rebodied to SVZ in 1958 or back to SprintNormale. Would be interesting to see a pic of the destroyed car and when it was rebodied to SprintNormale. If you know the owners, please ask them about the history from 1959 up to 2006

Re: dretceterini
SV #01819, #01849, etc: The production dates and original engines of the first SVAs are listed in the Giulietta book by Anselmi. All 1956 cars should be Alleggerita since the not leightweight Convortevole was introduced as late as September 1957

Re: velocedoc
I have also lists for SV and SZ

Sv# 01849

Martinue.
The new owners do not know what happend to the car before. since they found the car in Milan in a police wharehouse with others confiscated cars that were there for many years. the car was a mess, the front was all rusted and damage, the engine was in the trunk with a hole in the block , which has been repair. the body has been repaired with NOS panel left over from Diego Carrara, new front and rear.

My 1957 Sprint has a bertone number stamped in the engine bay. Does that make it a SV?
I don't think so!

Martinue:

I believe you are mistaken. The vast majority of 750 sprint veloces, even in 1956, have steel bodies; NOT aluminum, and are not SVAs or confortovales.

The Anselmi list I have simply says "The first 100 giulietta sprint veloces", and NOT "The first 100 sprint veloce LIGHTWEIGHTS" Every car on the list was built in 1956 and the vast majority are steel bodied SVs and NOT SVAs..

Not all confortovales have aluminum bodies, but they all do have a full rear seat. Some of the late ones have 101 motors and transmissions.

As to the number 1795 on the bottom of car S/N 01849, I have no idea why it is there.

Regards,
dretceterini
