The Alfa Romeo Classiche Certificato Di Origine that accompanies this lot, shows this Alfa Romeo 2000 GT Veloce is an original RHD car, supplied new to Nairobi Kenya. While built in 1972, it appears to have been registered in Kenya in 1973. Imported into the UK and registered here in April 1990. It is now showing 48,700 miles on its odometer. There is an MoT certificate from 1990, when the mileage was 47,876 miles. However, as an historic vehicle, the Alfa is now MoT-exempt. When initially registered in the UK, it was on a Q suffix, this has now been changed to its current number - BNT 635K. The vendor reports it as running and driving, although the brakes may require some attention due to lack of use, as the vehicle has been in long term storage and gradually restored over 20 years of ownership. However, it has been regularly started and run short distances. The Alfa is a matching numbers car, with a manufacturer's certificate to testify to this. Upgrades include a Harvey Bailey suspension kit, thicker anti-roll bar, Superflex/polyurethane bushes, and Koni shock absorbers (adjustable on rear), brake bias unit, 123 ignition distributor.
Paperwork includes the V5C, the instruction manual, technical characteristics and principal inspection specifications manual, Alfa Romeo Classiche Certificate of Origin, various invoices and a summary of 2017 work carried out. There's also a folder of original bills from both the UK and Nairobi dating from 1973 to 1990 and photos of the stripped shell and repainting work. The car also comes with a set of spare keys and its original chrome bumpers.
