Description
ASI historic and collectible interest vehicle, subject to full restoration.
The 1970 Alfa Romeo Spider 1750 Veloce 1st Series is one of the finest expressions of Italian design applied to open-top sports cars. Designed by Pininfarina, this iconic spider—also known as the “Seppia bone” thanks to the distinctive shape of the tail—stands out for its elegant, flowing, and timeless lines. The low, streamlined front end, teamed with the rounded rear and chrome detailing, gives the car a unique visual balance, making it even today one of the most loved and recognisable Alfa Romeo cabriolets.
The interior reflects the brand’s sporting tradition, *** a two-seat configuration and a driver-oriented layout. The instrument panel is complete and easy to read, while the sports steering wheel and low driving position ensure a direct *** connection to the road. The materials and finishes, while keeping a degree of simplicity, create a refined and engaging atmosphere, perfectly aligned *** with the spirit of the Italian spiders of the era.
Under the bonnet sits the lively Alfa Romeo twin-cam 1779cc engine, fed by two twin-choke carburettors, capable of producing around 113 hp. Paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox, it delivers lively performance and impressive flexibility. The characteristic twin-cam soundtrack and the responsive throttle make for an extremely satisfying drive, highlighting the car’s sporty character.
From a technical standpoint, the 1750 Veloce Spider uses an advanced layout for its time, *** independent front suspension and a well-controlled rear live axle, ensuring balanced and precise road manners. The braking system *** discs on all four wheels provides excellent stopping power, while the weight distribution helps deliver a stable and confident drive. Built in relatively modest numbers, the first series of the 1750 Veloce is now among the most sought-after variants by enthusiasts, thanks to its perfect balance of elegance, performance, and historical value.
