Nearly identical to the earlier 1600 “Duetto” Spider in terms of looks, the 1750 Spider Veloce introduced in 1968 was the next step in the evolution of Alfa Romeo’s charming two-seat convertible. Powered by a larger version of Alfa’s twin-cam inline four-cylinder displacing 1,779-cubic-centimeters, and benefiting from significant refinements to the suspension, brakes, and electrics, the 1750 Spider Veloce combined Pininfarina’s iconic “round-tail” design—nicknamed “osso di seppia” or “cuttlefish bone” in Italian—with the improved mechanicals of the later series Spiders. The US version featured Spica mechanical fuel injection rather than the twin horizontal carburetors offered in other markets and was available only for 1969, which was also the final model year for the Series 1 Spider and its coveted “round-tail” bodywork. This Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce was acquired by the consignor in 2017 from a West Coast marque expert who previously owned it and helped complete its comprehensive restoration that same year. Fully refurbished cosmetically and mechanically to a high standard, the car was completely disassembled inside and out, with the bodywork taken down to bare metal before being resprayed in its current shade of white. The seats and door cards were refinished in attractive red leather that contrasts nicely with the exterior and other black interior trim. The engine, with its Spica mechanical fuel injection, as well as the five-speed transmission, differential, suspension, brake system, fuel system, and heater assembly were fully rebuilt. In 2021, new headlight covers and a Nardi steering wheel were installed. Accompanied by restoration invoices and riding on Avon Radial tires mounted to 15-inch Minilite wheels, this one-year-only US-spec “round-tail” will be of great interest to Alfisti seeking the ultimate Series 1 Spider, beautifully restored with all the best elements of design and performance that the model has to offer.
