WHAT THE K500 MARKET INDEX SAYS ABOUT THE…

Alfa Romeo Giulia SS K500’s Simon Kidston says, ‘Other-worldly Bertone styling, but the quirky coupé was one of Alfa’s last semi-bespoke creations. A genuine rarity, with the 1600’s 125mph capability. SS sales were divided between early Giulietta 1300s and later Giulia 1600s. The looks stood the test of time – production ran from 1959 to 1966. Despite its futuristic allure, in the auction room the SS has its feet firmly planted on planet earth. After the ex-briggs Cunningham car rocketed to $209k in 2011, sales have been solid, if not spectacular. For now the spaceship has landed.’
