Description
I bought this alfa from a husband that had bought it for his wifes 40th. It mainly kept in the garage for ten years not moving and had work carried out on it from alfa mechanics in that time.
I bought it with around 38k and try to run the car for a few miles each month. It is kept in the garage under a cover and trickle charger for the battery.
It is genuine mileage as far as i can see with the original paint and condition of the car. I have all the mots and paperwork from the first owner that was a company car for printers in London.
It has historic status so no mot or tax payments and ULEz. The car history was also confirmed by Alfa s historic section with the colour of tipoli. The interior and time of build from the Alfa factory to the UK right hand drive.
It was wax sealed although there are a few minor places where rust is visible under the mats. It has had new calipers, pads, service items fitted etc in my ownership. It is not a concurs car but honest with its mileage and condition.
VincenzoIt has the 2. 0 litre 1962cc 4 cylinder with twin weber carbs. It gets lots of comments and attention. While parked in Battersea Park in London a photographer asked permission to take pictures. There are not many around. It is a lovely car but spends most of the time in the garage.

In 1970 the first significant change to the exterior styling was introduced on the 1750 Spider Veloce, with the original's distinctive elongated round tail changed to a more conventional cut-off tail, called the "Kamm tail", as well as improving the luggage space. Numerous other small changes took place both inside and out, such as a slightly different grille, new doorhandles, a more raked windscreen, top-hinged pedals and improved interior trim.
1971 saw the Spider Veloce get a new, larger powerplant - a 1962 cc, 132 hp (98 kW) unit - and consequently the name was changed from 1750 Spider Veloce to 2000 Spider Veloce. The 1600 Spider restarted production a year later as the Spider 1600 Junior, and was visually identical to the 1300.
1974 saw the introduction of the rare, factory request, Spider-Targa. Based upon the Spider, it featured a Porsche style solid rear window and lift out roof panels, all made out of black GRP type material. Less than 2, 000 models of such type were ever made and was the only part solid roof Spider until the introduction of the factory crafted hard top.
The 1300 and 2000 cars were modified in 1974 and 1975 respectively to include two small seats behind the front seats, becoming a "two plus two" four seater. The 1300 model was discontinued in 1977. Also, between 1974 and 1976, the early-style stainless-steel bumpers were discontinued and replaced with black, rubber-clad units to meet increasingly stringent North American crash requirements.
