One of my neighbors has had one of these on blocks in his garage for 30 plus years. Very pretty cars.

Re Bill's comment about the trim on the hood scoop, initially I thought this too and was going to comment on it, but wasn't 100% sure that the 2600 roadsters had trim on the hood scoop.

Giulia's did.

I checked a few of my Alfa reference books, the photos in those do not show trim on the hood scoop.

They also show the carrozeria touring badge on the lower part of the front fender and not the hood, as in the car pictured. Seems to me though that I've seen those in both places.

I'll confirm both of these tomorrow by digging out a factory brochure.

These are beautiful and (until recently) under appreciated cars. Personally I prefer the looks of the earlier 2000 roadster (same car, smaller engine 4 Cylinder engine) although essentially the same body, they are some subtle styling differences.

As the price of vintage Ferraris have gotten out of reach, these cars have appreciated in value greatly.

This particular car is missing the chrome rocker trim, so it makes me wonder what else is not 'correct'.
