The Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Zagato, or SZ, stands as a testament to the golden age of Italian automotive design and motorsport. Born from a desire to create a lighter, more aerodynamic version of the already potent Giulietta Sprint Veloce, Alfa Romeo entrusted the task to Zagato. The result was a stunning, hand-built berlinetta that debuted in 1960. With its distinctive "double-bubble" roof and Kamm tail, the SZ quickly became a formidable competitor on the track, dominating its class in endurance races and hill climbs across Europe. Only around 200 examples were ever produced, each one a unique blend of Alfa Romeo engineering and Zagato's artistic coachbuilding, solidifying its legend as one of the most desirable and beautiful Alfas ever made. This particular 1960 Giulietta SZ, chassis number AR10126.00033, embodies that rich heritage with an exceptional provenance. Showing 24,364 miles on its odometer, this manual-transmission coupe was originally delivered to Italian privateer Rinaldo Parmigiani, who campaigned it in period at prestigious events such as the 4 Hours of Pescara and the Coppa Inter-Europa at Monza. Its racing pedigree is further enhanced by an ownership history that includes prolific collector Corrado Cupellini. With its significant racing history and incredibly limited production numbers, this Giulietta SZ represents a truly special opportunity to acquire a piece of automotive art and motorsport history.
