Dressed in every elegant Medio Metallic Blue over a tan interior with brown carpeting, this Spider Veloce showcases a particularly sophisticated color combination that highlights its timeless proportions. The vehicle has been fitted with a brand-new convertible top, ensuring both protection and long-term esthetics. Purchased locally in Quebec from a long-term enthusiast, it is clear to see that the vehicle was cared for over many years. While the vehicle remains fully functional in nearly all respects, prospective owners should note that the air conditioning system requires attention. As the vehicle has been properly stored during winter months—a prudent practice for preserving these Italian classics—annual maintenance may be necessary upon driving it this spring.
The exterior has benefited from a complete repaint during its lifetime, which presents extremely well today. Only very minor blemishes can be found upon close inspection, and importantly, the body displays no signs of corrosion. The overall exterior presentation is exceptional for a vehicle of this year.
Structurally, this Spider Veloce stands on solid ground. The critical rocker panels are in excellent condition, as is the spare wheel tub—areas often compromised in Alfa Spiders. The undercarriage presents cleanly, though transparency requires mentioning that minor floor repairs were performed at the driver and passenger footwells. Completing the package, this Alfa comes equipped with its original spare wheel, jack, and tool kit
Inside, the completely original interior shows the graceful aging expected of a well-maintained classic. The tan seats display a slight patina that will be recognized as a desirable character that comes with respectful use. The dashboard remains in excellent condition, and the gauges retain their clarity and functionality. The brown carpeting exhibits minor sun fading, a common occurrence in convertibles of this era. The Alfa Romeo Spider represents extraordinary value in today's classic car market. Its Pininfarina-designed silhouette remains as beautiful today as when it first appeared, offering practical open-top motoring combined with the engaging dynamics of rear-wheel drive and a manual transmission. These Alfas truly come alive when pushed toward their limits, delivering a driving experience that larger, more expensive sports cars often fail to match.
As one English motoring enthusiast famously said, "You can't be a true petrolhead until you've owned an Alfa Romeo"
