Highlights

- Striking grey exterior with red interior colour combination
- Recently overhauled engine and braking system

The Appeal
The Veloce represents the pinnacle of the Giulietta Spider range, offering enhanced performance and driving dynamics over the standard model. The engine was upgraded with twin carbs, a tubular manifold, upgraded intake, hotter cams and high compression pistons, upping the power from 79 to 96 bhp.
This 1960 example, first registered in 1962, cuts quite a dash in its distinctive grey exterior and red interior colour combination. Having been part of a private collection and always kept in dry storage throughout its life in Europe, this Spider Veloce has been well preserved while receiving key mechanical overhauls to ensure its continued performance.
