1971 ALFA ROMEO 1750

Brookspeed are pleased to offer for sale this beautiful Alfa Romeo 1750 Spider Veloce, offering a rare opportunity to acquire a highly desirable and exceptionally well-documented example of this iconic Italian classic. First registered on 1st September 1971, this is a genuine UK-market Type 105.58 right-hand drive Series 2 “Kamm Tail” Spider, finished in its original and timeless colour combination of Rosso with Black interior. The 1750 Spider Veloce is widely regarded as one of the most sought-after variants of the Alfa Romeo Spider range, combining elegant styling with the superbly responsive and free-revving 1779cc twin-cam engine. Production numbers for the RHD 1750 Kamm Tail Spider were incredibly limited, with just 138 examples produced, making these cars highly collectible today. Remarkably, this particular example is believed to be among the final cars built, with just 12 further examples produced after this chassis. This car has clearly benefited from significant recent investment, with extensive engine and mechanical work carried out between 2023–2025 to ensure reliability and usability. The result is a Spider that not only looks the part but can be confidently enjoyed on the road – exactly as intended. The history file accompanying the vehicle is exceptionally comprehensive, containing an extensive collection of invoices, previous MOT certificates, ownership records, photographs, and restoration documentation accumulated over decades. Most notably, the car retains an incredible 43 years of MOT certificates, documenting a recorded mileage of approximately 100,000 miles throughout its life. Within the history is documentation relating to a substantial restoration carried out in 1992 by renowned Alfa Romeo specialists BenAlfa Performance Cars, during which the vehicle was rebuilt using numerous new and reconditioned panels and mechanical components before being repainted in Rosso 514, preserving its original factory colour scheme. Photographic records of the restoration are also included within the file. Further specialist work was carried out in 2010, when the engine was rebuilt by respected Alfa Romeo specialist David Hood, using components supplied by Classic Alfa . At this time the car was also upgraded with a 123 electronic ignition distributor and Bosch Blue coil for improved reliability and drivability. More recent upgrades and improvements include: Alfaholics adjustable suspension (front and rear) Uprated anti-roll bar Alfaholics stainless steel sports exhaust system and 4-branch manifold New soft top New starter motor New alternator New electronic distributor Driver’s seat cover replacement Recent oil and filter service Brake and clutch fluid replacement These carefully selected upgrades significantly enhance the driving experience while remaining true to the character and charm of the original car. Cosmetically, the Spider presents well overall and offers excellent visual appeal, though the paintwork is not concours and does show some age-related imperfections consistent with a well-enjoyed and usable classic. This has been reflected in the vehicle’s positioning and presents the next owner with the opportunity to either enjoy the car exactly as it is or further enhance it cosmetically if desired. The Alfa Romeo 1750 Spider Veloce is regarded by many enthusiasts as the “sweet spot” of the classic Spider range, combining purity of design, rarity, and one of Alfa Romeo’s finest twin-cam engines. Genuine UK RHD examples of this quality, provenance, and usability are becoming increasingly difficult to source. This is an ideal opportunity for someone seeking a classic Alfa Romeo that can be genuinely enjoyed on dry, sunny days with confidence, backed by extensive history, thoughtful upgrades, and decades of careful enthusiast ownership.
