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.
