The attractions

This Alfa Romeo Spider 2000 Veloce is one of the most iconic Italian roadsters of the 1970s: its timeless design by Pininfarina combines perfectly with the lively performance offered by Alfa Romeo's famous twin-shaft Nord engine.

This 1978 example also stands out for the significant attention it received from the mechanics and for having been completely repainted. As can be seen in the photo gallery, this Spider looks really good, and is further embellished by period Campagnolo alloy wheels and the extremely rare removable hard top.
