Alfa Romeo "Bertone Coupé"

[1959scudetto]

One of Giorgietto Giugiaro's design masterpieces when working for Bertone  is the Giulia Sprint GT from 1963 - soon other variations followed. Ixo made some nice 1/24 diecast models which were issued under different names such as Leo models (Quattroruote), Metro/Fabbri, Hachette in different series and colors:

The 1966 Alfa Romeo Giulia GT 1300 junior was first released in the Quattroruote series (rosso Alfa = red, best details), then in the Alfa Centenario collection (Giallo ochra = mustard yellow) and finally in the 1/24 Auto Vintage de luxe collection (bianco spino = white)

 

.

 

Also in the Alfa Romeo Centenario Collection the legendary 1965 Giulia Sprint 1600 GTA was offered in Rosso Corsa (with all the correct details - wheels, tires, interior, grille and scudetto):

 

With the additon of a few decals you can easily turn this one into a period-correct racecar:

 

Everything opens, the details are very well done - excellent 1/24 models of a truly Alfa Romeo icon = must haves for all fans of the marque !

Wow!  Thanks for sharing these.  Always had a liking for the GT and GTA.

Super models! I liked the Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA best. So I have the Matchbox, Kyosho and Hotwheels in my collection. These ones are in its scale relatively good but these 1:24 -ish . . . .  are top models. I enjoy it to see.

Thanks, fellows - this is my all-time favorite Alfa Romeo :either the 1750 GTV or the 1969 Junior (with the new cockpit from the 1750 GTV)

Super! In 1993 I restored a 1974 GTV in 1:1 and owned it for many years. Always a fan. Thanks for this.

Great looking models of one of my favorite series of cars, ever.
