Re: How many?



After Henrik Johansen gave Brizio Pignacca's figures for 105/115 coupe 
production Phill Erasmus asked whether the figures included totals for these 
cars manufactured in other countries, like South Africa, etc. Henrik Johansen 
replied that they include the LHD versions, but he didn't recall any mention 
of  the SA manufactured cars.

I thought that the answer would be simple for those models for which the 
production runs ended within Luigi Fusi's time-frame.

For the Giulia Sprint GT Pignacca gave 21,850.

In the "caratteristiche tecniche" table p.589 Fusi gave 21,542 for the Sprint 
GT. 

In the "produzione totale" table p.862-863 Fusi gave 19,628 l.h.d, 1,354 
r.h.d, and 920 r.h.d.CKD, for a total of 21,902. (These numbers match his 
year-by-year figures)

D'Amico & Tabucci give 22,671.

For the Giulia Sprint GT Veloce Pignacca gave 12,499.

Fusi gave 12,501 l.h.d, 1,407 r.h.d, and 332 r.h.d.CKD, for a total of 
14,240, the same as on the "caratteristiche tecniche" table p.625.

D'Amico & Tabucci give 14,243.

My guess is that all of the numbers were intended to include the CKD cars, 
whether South Africa or elsewhere, but your guess is as good as mine.

D'Amico & Tabucci's numbers for all types of the "Bertone" coupes, (with 
Pignacca's, per Johansen, in parentheses), are: 

Giulia Sprint GT: 22,671 (21,850)
Giulia GTC: 1,024 (1,000)
Giulia GTA: 504 (493)
Giulia Sprint GT Veloce: 14,243 (12,499)
GT 1300/1600 Junior: 106,354 (91,964)
GTA 1300 Junior: 488 (492)
1750 GT Veloce: 47,512 (44,276)
2000 GT Veloce: 32,288 (37,921)

Total, 225,084 by d'Amico & Tabucchi, against 210,495 by Pignacca via 
Johansen.

On a quite different (Giulietta) question, Bob Cess recently wrote "There is 
a Chinese proverb that states 'a man with one watch knows what time it is, 
but a man with two watches is never sure.'". How true-
