Three-quarter front view of a Red, 1963, Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider (Type ), part of the 2023 London Classic Car Auction at Olympia, London
The Spider, Sprint and Sprint Speciale Giulias introduced together with the Giulia sedan in 1962 were rebadged and updated versions of earlier Giulietta models (series 101), now with a 92 CV (68 kW; 91 hp) litre instead of a litre engine. Easiest to distinguish from a Giulietta is the Spider (tipo ), which featured a bonnet bulge to clear the slightly taller engine. The Giulia Sprint 1600 (tipo ) arrived in June 1962. The Sprint coupé was also available for a short time with the litre engine as the Sprint 1300 - essentially a Giulietta Sprint with a different name. This version carries a small "1300" script on the lower bootlid, while Giulia 1600 Sprints have a "1600" badge just behind the rear wheel. Most models were discontinued in 1964, although the Sprint Speciale continued until 1966. The Spider was complemented by a Spider Veloce in 1964 (tipo ), using the engine seen in the Giulia Sprint Speciale and Giulia TI Super, producing 112 CV (82 kW; 110 hp). The Giulia Spider continued to be available until the mid-1966 introduction of the Spider 1600 Duetto.
