The beautiful Duetto bodywork was penned at Pininfarina and the
last project that the company's founder, Battista "Pinin" Farina
had a personal hand in. The beautiful design is characterized by
minimal chrome, distinctly sculptured body sides and that signature
tapering, rounded tail. This is the original expression of the
long-running Alfa Spider and is considered by many to be the purest
and most desirable of all models in the 27-year production run. The
model achieved worldwide public recognition after starring
alongside Dustin Hoffman in the film, The Graduate.
The Alfa Romeo 1750 Spider Veloce was designed to replace the
original 1600 Spider Duetto. Manufactured between 1967 and 1969,
the 1750 Spider Veloce was the culmination of the model. It is
estimated that approximately 4,674 units were produced, European
examples featured a 1,779cc engine with dual Weber carburation,
whereas models in the American market used SPICA mechanical fuel
injection. Both models enjoyed the same horsepower rating of 116
HP, although the European version has always been favored in
comparison to the SPICA, which in comparison is far more costly to
maintain.
This Duetto has been completely restored, cosmetically it shows the
quality of the workmanship as exceptional throughout. Mechanically,
it has been dialed in since restoration with limited mileage and on
our recent road test, this Duetto was found to be excellent in
every way, with superb power and of course, the intake and exhaust
sounds typical of this Alfa's sporting nature. The Duetto is
considered among the finest driver's cars of all time, known for
their lively handling and spritely revving twin-cam engines. Some
say they are unmatched for sheer driving joy/fun. One thing is for
sure, it is it will always put a smile on ones face when used and
enjoyed.
This Euro Alfa Romeo 1750 Spider Veloce is ready for immediate
enjoyment. It is accompanied by a tool kit, full-size spare tire,
Battaini jack, historical documents, books, records, and an Alfa
Romeo Certificato di Origine. The car performs flawlessly in
every-way and it is ready for immediate use and enjoyment.
