Vintique Motors is thrilled to present this beautiful 1974 Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider Veloce!
This Alfa’s Pininfarina designed body is finished in the prepossessing colors of navy blue over dark red along with a black convertible top. Under the bonnet sits the beloved alloy twin cam 2.0L inline 4-cylinder engine fitted to a 5-speed manual gearbox which is linked to a limited-slip differential. Additional features included power assisted four-wheel disc brakes, SPICA mechanical fuel injection, independent front suspension, a live rear axle, and anti-roll bars.
This example has spent nearly all of its existence in the warm dry state of Arizona under the care of just four owners from new. The first Arizona owner held it for 14 years from new in June 1974 to 1988. The second Arizona purchased it in 1988 and retained it for 26 years until 2014. The third Wisconsin-based owner purchased it in 2014 and kept it at his second home in Arizona for 8 years. The fourth Illinois-based owner acquired it in 2022 and retained it for 2 years until our acquisition in the fall of 2024 and relocated it to Michigan.
In July 2013 it was featured on the cover of Hemmings Sports & Exotic Car magazine along with a 7-page comparison spread with a ’74 Triumph TR6. It was repainted just once under second ownership in 1989 and it has held up very well with occasional use and a dry Arizona climate. Additionally, at that time, the engine was rebuilt and a new convertible top was installed. It is stated by the second owner that the first owner had the original selling dealer install 14″ BWA alloy wheels which are still present in excellent condition wearing Falken ZEIX ZE912 tires sized 195/65.
This lovely example has been well maintained over the years as needed with service records on file dating back to 2000. Most notably $2,600 was spent in 2014, $2,200 was spent in 2022, and most recently we spent $1,200 tidying up a couple loose ends with the top that was installed in 1989 as well as installing a Retrosounds Bluetooth radio head unit. With just 69,924 believed original miles, this is a fabulous example to get out and enjoy driving with its beautiful color combination and silky twin cam engine.
