      Trancas C&C today. My favorite car was this factory lightweight Sprint Veloce. Asked the old man owner what they did differently to make it lightweight. His list went like, "plastic windows, aluminum hood, doors and trunk lid. They did some stuff in the motor and the seats are lighter too." I guess this '56 was the answer by Alfa when Porsche kicked their ass in the '55 Mille Miglia. Apparently, they returned in '56 and kicked some serious ass, even beating the 1600cc Porsches with this 1300... so cool...

          You're not wrong. https://www.rmsothebys.com/en/auctio...ggerita/293850

          I want to see the curb weight of this lightweight version, considering that the regular Giulietta sprint is well under 2,000lbs.

            We figured he spent at least 6 figures.

            Old man owner said it was about 1800#

              Those seats are the real Zagato type seats. There is far more to a lightweight Sprint, it was things like the seats, the windows were perspex and slid open rather than raised and lowered. The doors, roof, hood, trunk, and often fenders were all aluminum, no interior really, the wheels were magnesium. Pretty much, if it could be lightened from stock, it was. I think there are less than 5 SVLW in North America. There is a white one with orange stripes here in the bay area. Alfa made very few, and to see a real 750 lightweight is like seeing Sasquatch.

              Good find.

                They are buying seats, not selling. That said, anyone need a redone passenger side E30 sport seat in black? I have one, no headrest.

                    The Alfa Thread

                    Trying to convince my friend to buy a Milano... post some cool pics please!

                    We were at another AROSC event this weekend and I met a passionate Alfisti.
                    Guys name is Dino. Named his son Dino also haha







                    In order the white car was a full, wild race car. I got to ride in it and it was an absolute riot. Twin Plug motor, all the goodies EFI, carbon, sequential gearbox. WILD. Middle GTV was also a twin plug car, had Webers, and crankfire ignition. Full interior, stereo and a whole host of suspension mods. Final one on the other end also had a 2L swapped in but was full analog. Webers, distributor and just springs and shocks. He has the stock 1300 tucked away because its a rare aluminum bodied veloce.



                    Loved this theme. He even had the blue light flashing as he was going around the track






                    And because this is r3v, this E30 competed against a group of Mazda’s (3 miatas and 1 RX7) and it totally dominated them. Long straights on Big Willow really helped him pull away

                            Cool car for sale out there in Alfa Land...

                            1958 Sprint Veloce, very rare "early interim 1493E model" they say, with a hotrod 1750 and Dave Rugh springs. A little rough looking, but reliable and a blast to drive he says. In Seattle.

                              I kinda dig that Sprint. Its well sorted, just needs the cosmetics taken care of. I think the person who rolls the dice will be surprised with how much car there actually is there.

                              My car currently sits about the same with the Alfaholics springs. I'm really curious how its going to drive.
