MOT: Exempt
Introduced in 1970, the second series of Alfa Romeo's iconic Spider Veloce was visually distinguished by a subtly revised grille, more raked windscreen, fashionable cut-off 'Kamm Tail' and new door handles. Designed and built by Pininfarina, the newcomer's two-door monocoque bodyshell incorporated the same sophisticated independent front suspension, five-speed manual gearbox and four-wheel disc brakes as its 'Duetto' predecessor. Initially powered by a 1779cc version of Alfa Romeo's jewel-like four-cylinder 'twin-cam' engine, the second series cars were upgraded to 1962cc during 1971. With a quoted 132bhp and 134lbft on tap, the 2000 Spider Veloce was reputedly capable of over 120mph. Great fun to drive, the model evolved through third and fourth series remaining in production until 1993.
Displaying a highly credible 56,500 miles, this example was imported into the UK in 2021, with the Spider originating in the southern US states of Texas and Oklahoma. Upgrades and improvements include a stainless steel exhaust that was carried out in current ownership, renewed electrics, a recent battery, refurbished calipers and re-foaming and reupholstering. A service was carried out at c.54,000 miles. Indeed, paperwork from Texas and Oklahoma shows the mileage rising. In recent ownership, the Spider has been used for a European tour through France, Switzerland, Austria, Germany and finally through to Lake Garda, Italy in 2023. The vendor has just completed a Yorkshire Dales and Moors tour this year. Accompanied by a 4-season weather cover, a history file that includes both import and American export paperwork and a small collection of previous invoices. It is offered with a V5C Registration Document.
