002611 of only some 2,796 Series 101 Veloce Spiders built between
1956-62 this particular example with its matching #'s engine is
complete with its very rare original specification Weber DCO
carburetors! Remarkably free of any history of any accidents or
rust, which as any enthusiast will confirm is both highly rare and
unlikely to be found in the history of any other such model, with
this example still boasting excellent original panel fit and
components! This Giulietta Spider Veloce continues that legacy,
offering beautiful Italian design with open-air driving pleasure.
Records indicate this Spider Veloce was ordered with a Bianco
exterior in Veloce trim and completed on 3 June 1960. Delivered to
the United States the following April and sold new via the Hoffman
Motor Car Company, it is believed to have remained in the hands of
just a few individuals in New England, benefiting from a
restoration in the early 1980s.The Alfa Romeo would be stored for
the next three decades; it was eventually unearthed in 2014, when
it was sold to a new owner. In 2018, a second restoration effort
commenced by the award-winning Milestone Motorcars of Boynton
Beach, Florida. Invoices and photos on file record the over 1,000
hours of labor invested in the restoration, bringing the vehicle to
the spectacular condition now seen today. Furthermore, this
Giulietta Spider Veloce retains its numbers-matching engine, as
noted on the Alfa Romeo Museo Storico document on file.Purchased by
Milestone Motors in 2014 snd held in their inventory for restoring
until late 2017 when the restortion was started. Only original new
old stock or correctly manufactured parts were used in the
restoration. Since the car was already in very fine all original
condition, no major issues were anticipated and none were found.The
body was completely disassembled and stripped to bare metal and
refinished with the bare metal media blasted to remove all residue
paint. It was decided to strip the frame and underside of the car
of its factory filler and refinish it in the body color as
orignally manufactured. The engine was stripped of all mechanical
components and media blasted also to bare metal before being
refinished in the Grigio color. The interior was entrusted to
'Central Auto Trim' of West Palm Beach and the seats, door panels
and rear compartments completely redone in an original shade of Red
vinyl sourced from Italy from one of the original Alfa Romeo
suppliers. Soft top and carpets were also redone with original type
material only used for the carpets and bound in vinyl as original.
All of the window mechanisms were rebuilt and all the window tracks
replaced. All body gaskets, seals and rubber components were also
sourced from Italy and replaced.All the major mechanical components
were disassembled for rebuilding. All ancillary components of the
engine would be rebuilt or replaced including new engine gasket
set, timing chains, rod and main bearings, thrust washers, wrist
pin bushings, piston rings, new pistons, clutch disc, spark plugs,
ignition wire set, points, condensor, oil and filter, distributor
components, engine mounts, new exhaust headers, new stainless steel
exhaust system, pressure test block and heads, balance engine
components. The fuel system with new gas tank, new electric fuel
pump, and the two original Weber carburetors rebuilt by a Weber
specialist. New bearings and resealing of the original
transmission. All new bearings and seals for the differential. The
suspension and brakes were completely rebuilt. All new bushings,
tie rod ends, rebuilt steering box, new higher rated springs and
Koni shocks, new brake linings, master and slave cylinders and
flexible brake lines. The car was originally White and the car was
repainted in the period correct color of 'Grigio' (Metallic Gray)
which would be complimented with an all new Dark Red with Black
piping interior in original Italian materials. A new top was fitted
together with a rebuilt and refinished top frame. All the
brightwork, bumpers, and all ancillary parts were re-chromed. All
the glass was original and in good condition so left alone with the
windshield polished. All the road wheels were trued, powder coated
balanced and had vintage 'Michelin' tires of the original profile
and type fitted. The cooling system including the radiator and
heater core were completely rebuilt and recored. Period correct
hoses were also fitted. The wiring harness was examined and
determined to still be in excellent condition, only to be repaired
where necessary. Any needed rewiring was completed. All instruments
were checked and all electrical components were either replaced or
rebuilt as required. Originality was paramount in the restoration
with Milestone using only new old stock or modern equivalent parts
used in the restoration with no expense spared. Now presented with
a very handsome 'Metallic Gray' exterior over striking Red with
Black piping interior, you will look long and hard to find a finer
example anywhere of this wonderfully restored 1960 Alfa Romeo
Giulietta Veloce Spider which makes for a thoroughly stylish and
enjoyable summer cruiser. Such a fine example should not be passed
by for any serious Alfa or indeed any serious European or Italian
sports car collector.
