1960 ALFA ROMEO GIULIETTA SPIDER VELOCE LHD

According to the records that accompany this Alfa Romeo, it was dispatched when new to the Hoffman Motor Company of New York, and sold during March 1960. While not much is known of most of its US life, it was restored there during 2015 and 2016, which included a repaint in its original Grigio Grafite finish. The engine, transmission, generator and rear end were also rebuilt and the chrome trim replated. There are invoices for this work done in the history file, as well as pictures of the job being undertaken. The car made its way back over the Atlantic in 2020, albeit to the UK rather than its original homeland of Italy. It was registered here in July 2020 and has had just two registered keepers since then. It has also seen very little use, with a recorded mileage of just over 82,200 miles, and remains in excellent condition, inside and out. The car starts and runs well, even from cold.

All the vital Veloce features are present and correct to prove this is a genuine example of the higher performance Giulietta - only 2796 Veloces were built. The paperwork file is a hefty one, and includes the V5C, a book on the Giulietta Spider, and a lot of early 21st century invoices and literature including, of course, those all-important restoration details including the photographic record of its rebuild.
