1974 Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider Veloce in Amelia Island, FL

Chassis No. AR3046420

Officially unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in 1966 as simply the Alfa Romeo Spider 1600, the open-topped two-seater closely resembled the sweeping Alfa Romeo Superflow in its design, which would undergo numerous styling changes over its nearly 30 years in production. Series 1 cars (1966-1969) featured the mechanicals from the 105-Series Giulia sedan, including its twin-cam inline-four engine in 1.6 and later 1.8-liter displacement. Numerous styling changes appeared on Series 2 cars (1970-1981), with the Spider's distinctive "boat tail" revised to a Kamm tail for improved luggage space along with another increase in displacement to 2.0 liters.

This Series 2 Spider Veloce was initially delivered new through Archway Motor Imports of Manchester, Missouri, with its window sticker listing a total suggested retail price of $7,425. Said to have spent roughly three decades in indoor storage, the Spider later surfaced showing approximately 11,000 miles and was acquired by a New Jersey-based caretaker in 2022. A mechanical refurbishment carried out within this ownership reportedly included resurfacing the cylinder head and installing a replacement head gasket, refinishing the exhaust system, resealing and repainting the fuel tank, and fitting a starter relay, along with replacement of the fuel pump, ignition points and condenser, thermostat, and clutch slave cylinder. The braking system was also refreshed with a replacement master cylinder, overhauled ATE calipers, and resurfaced rotors, while the 14-inch Campagnolo alloys were mounted with fresh 165-series Michelin XAS tires.

Now attractively presented in Grigio Metallizzato over black vinyl with a black canvas top, it shows 10,521 miles at the time of cataloging and is offered with its window sticker, factory literature, and an Alfa Romeo-branded hood bra-ideal for relaxed, top-down touring.
