Description
1971 ALFA-ROMEO SPIDER VELOCE
Registration Number: FHH 82K
Chassis Number: AR* 2460638
First registered in the UK in 1980, this very attractive Spider was in family ownership for over 35 years before changing hands a couple of years ago.
Our vendor, a local enthusiast, acquired the car to use for foreign holidays, hence choosing a LHD example. When acquired the paintwork was a little tired in places, with a few minor scratches and dings, and so the bodywork was refinished in dark Blu Olandese (Dutch Blue) as per original.
Judging by the souvenir stickers on the car’s windscreen, it appears to be well travelled in previous ownership, although the recorded mileage is quite sensible at around 90, 000 kilometres.
More recently the Spider’s Dellorto carburettors have been overhauled, the valves have been adjusted, spark plugs and leads have been replaced, and two new brake calipers fitted to the rear. As a result the owner confirms the car drives as nicely as it looks. The interior is original and in opinion in well-preserved condition. A set of period 1970s alloy wheels complete the look perfectly.
Offered with a UK V5C, previous UK MoT and receipts in current ownership, this Spider is an extremely stylish companion for the summer months.
This motor vehicle will be sold at auction with Dore & Rees in Frome, Somerset, on Saturday 23rd September 2023. For more details contact the Motoring Department via the above details.
