The setup is completed by 14-inch Cromodora multi-spoke alloy wheels fitted with Firestone tires, maintaining an appropriate period appearance and road feel.The exterior in Rosso is complemented by impact-absorbing black rubber bumpers, a defining feature of later Series 2 models designed to meet evolving safety regulations without fully disrupting the original Pininfarina-penned proportions.

Jaeger instrumentation sits ahead of a classic 3-spoke "Personal" wood-rimmed steering wheel, while bucket seats with headrests provide support consistent with the car's sporting intent. Additional interior equipment includes chrome trim accents, a driver-side rearview mirror, a glove box, and a Blaupunkt radio with a fender-mounted antenna. The trunk houses a jack and a full-size spare tire. A notable design detail of the Series 2 Spider is its "Kamm-tail" rear profile, a shortened rear deck shape developed from aerodynamic principles that reduce drag while maintaining stability. This design approach came from wind-tunnel research associated with Wunibald Kamm's theories, influencing several performance-oriented European designs of the period. A fuel-injected, Series 2 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce offering a balanced combination of mechanical integrity, analog engagement, and timeless Italian design, mechanically sound. For $9,750
