SUMMARY
One of just 200 UK-supplied, right-hand drive, 1750 Series 1 Alfa Romeo Spider 'Boat-Tails'.
DESCRIPTION
- Rarely do UK-supplied, right-hand drive Series 1 Alfa Spiders come to market in such wonderful condition
- Presented in Verde Vivo, a rare original colour, the factory paint sticker can still be seen on the underside of the boot lid
- Believed genuine 65,760 miles from new supported by a wealth of history and old MOT Certificates
- Also accompanied by its original owners hand-book and copies from the Alfa archive with build specification
- Recent attention includes; complete stainless steel Alfaholics exhaust system (including manifold), a Classic Alfa handling kit, a set of Cromodora alloy wheels with Pirelli CN36 Cinturato tyres, F&R brake discs, calipers, pads & hoses
- On offer from a private collector, this beautiful, well-maintained Alfa Spider has a recent MOT (no advisories), is on-the-button and now ready for its next chapter
Offered here is a beautiful UK-supplied, right-hand drive Series 1 Alfa Romeo 1750 Spider Veloce finished in Vivo Verde with a black leatherette interior that dates from 1969 and was first registered on the 1st May 1970. Indicating just 65,760 miles at the time of cataloguing, a figure that is believed to be genuine supported by a comprehensive history file with old MOT Certificates and invoices for maintenance over the years.
Presented in fabulous overall condition, the Verde Vivo paint colour really suits the car and makes rather a refreshing change from the usual red, the correct black leatherette interior also presents rather well showing little signs of wear. The original paint sticker is still present on the underside of the boot lid and the original specification is supported by copies from the Alfa Romeo archive. Accompanying the Spider is a detailed history file with a wealth of invoices for maintenance over the years, the original owner's hand-book and the aforementioned old MOTs.
More recently, this example has benefited from some sensible upgrades including an Alfaholics complete stainless exhaust system with manifold, classic Alfa handling kit, Cromodora alloy wheels fitted with Pirelli Cinturato tyres, front and rear brake discs, calipers, brake pads and hoses. It's described by our vendor as absolutely on-the-button with tight responsive handling, excellent performance, good stopping power and a pleasing exhaust note. Offered from a private collection and, although exempt, our vendor has presented his Alfa for auction with a fresh MOT showing 'no advisories'.
Rarely do examples of the ‘boat tail’ Spider come to market in such fine order especially in right-hand drive and in such a delightful hue. This is a great opportunity to take ownership of this stylish ‘60’s Italian sports car and join the ranks of the 'Alfisti' but beware, Alfa ownership can become addictive.
