The Appeal

This 1979 Alfa Romeo Spider 2000 Veloce forms part of the carefully curated Blaauwbank Collection, which includes an eclectic mix of multi-generational cars, stored in purpose-built, climate-controlled dry-storage hangars in the arid climate of Central South Africa.

The Series 2 Alfa Romeo Spider is widely considered the most well-rounded iteration of Pininfarina's iconic open-top design. With its elegant, uncluttered lines and the eager 2.0-litre twin-cam engine in Veloce specification, it offers a driving experience that few contemporaries can match.

This left-hand drive example, finished in classic Rosso Alfa, is described by the vendor as unrestored and original, a car that has survived without the need for major intervention. It is believed to have had only two former registered keepers and shows 76,043 km on the odometer, which the vendor believes to be genuine. The vendor describes it as "a joy to drive", suggesting a well-preserved Spider that is ready to be enjoyed as intended, with the roof down on a winding road.
