I bought this car in September of last year to drive on the weekends.
It passed smog and is registered in California. I travel extensively and
don’t have enough time to enjoy driving it or to work on it. If you are not
familiar with Alfas, this Spider Veloce is a rare Italian sports car. This
one is ready to drive this Summer and will get you plenty of attention!
This vehicle is also listed for sale
locally and I reserve the right to cancel the listing at any time.

I will describe the vehicle condition as
good as possible. Due to the car's age, it is being sold as is with
no warranties expressed or implied. Prospective bidders that live in
Southern California can come and inspect the vehicle prior to bid
closing. Please call (949)369-1669 to make an appointment. If you
commit to buy the vehicle you are coming to pick it up, not
inspect it!
As expected for a California car, the body
is in good condition with very minor rust (see photos). The original paint
has a couple of dings and scratches (see photos). The original seats have rips and tears so it has Wet Seal covers. The dashboard has a new
cover. The front sheet metal air dam is slightly bent and can easily be
straightened. Overall, this car is in a good condition, but as with any
old Italian car, it still needs work. I have been lucky with it.
The engine fires up right away and runs strong. The five speed transmission
is in good condition with the typical minor grind from first to second if
you shift too quickly, and there is minor oil drip (both common in Alfas). I have driven this car occasionally
on weekends over the last couple of months without any issues.
