Beschreibung
A stunning and rare matching numbers UK supplied Alfa Romeo 1974 Series 2 “Kamm tailed” 2000 Spider Veloce, built from the factory as a RHD.
Although subject to a comprehensive restoration in 2003, the car’s bodywork was subject to a further restoration works in the summer of 2020. This included replacement of both front and rear valances, as well as remedial work to both sills and application of new stone guard all round. The results, as can be seen, are simply stunning, with the Rosso Corsa paintwork holding an incredible depth of shine and completely devoid of any dents or corrosion.
The chrome brightwork is all in excellent condition, as is the roof, which also boasts a very clear rear screen. The car also comes with a clip-on tonneau cover.
The seats have been professionally retrimmed to factory specification and a brand new heater was also installed in 2020.
Carpets and door cards are both in great condition and all instruments and switchgear, operate as they should.
Mechanically, the car has been exceptionally well looked after, with no expense spared. In 2010, it underwent a full engine rebuild and has done less than 3000 miles since. The twin Weber 40 DCOE carburettors were professionally reconditioned and ultrasonically cleaned in 2018. In 2020, the car was given a full service at 98, 922 miles and has also had an electronic fuel pump fitted, a well proven solution to overcoming starting issues, common to these cars, when not run for a while.
In 2017, all suspension springs were replaced and new Bilstein shock absorbers fitted all round, along with new front and rear trailing arm bushes and rebound straps.
The rear section of the prop shaft was replaced in 2019 and in 2020, the whole prop shaft was taken out for re-balancing and a new prop shaft centre bearing fitted.
Finally, in 2020 the gearbox was removed, sent to a gearbox specialist to be professionally rebuilt and at the same time the flywheel was sent off for specialist machining.
In 2018, the braking system was replaced in its entirety. This comprised new discs, callipers, twin master cylinders and brake lines throughout.
The car sits on beautifully refurbished 14 inch Factory Alfa Romeo sculptured cast alloy wheels, with matching Bridgestone B391 185/ 70 R14 tyres all round, with plenty of tread left.
As part of the bodywork refurbishment in 2020, the existing underseal was removed and any areas of corrosion addressed. The underside was then treated to a comprehensive DINITROL automotive rust prevention and corrosion protection treatment.
There is a very well documented history file, dating back to the 1990s. It contains photographs from a previous restoration in 2003, as well as the most recent restoration in 2020. In addition, there are a significant number of invoices and receipts for restoration, maintenance and parts all the way up to 2020. Although registered as an Historic Vehicle, the car does have a current MOT which expires April 2022.
In summary, although the car is showing 99, 390 miles, most of the mechanical components are either new, rebuilt or refurbished, within the last 3000 miles. It is now one of the best currently available and a true show standard car, ready for the summer.
