Giulietta Monoposto/AD#117



Regarding a recent post from Toshiharu Takeno ,   I would
like to add some for reference.

In Japan, we commonly call a monoposto (single seater) Giulietta
750 spider with low windshield & head fairing as a "Sebring Spider" .
(a friend of mine has one, bought in the US)

But actually we haven't seen any period photo of that sort taken
in Sebring. Instead a works Le Mans car features a monoposto,
I've heard.

So we, Takeno and I are not sure there really exists "Sebring"
spider. And we are desperately wishing to know which race the
monoposto was made for and made its debut, and how many they
were made by Alfa itself (many fakes were likely to be made).

We'd appreciate any of your advice.
Very best regards,
