You're looking at my 1981 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce. This car was purchased in 2007 with 40,633 (confirmed by title) miles on the odometer and now has 47,254 miles on the clock. The car has been, as my wife calls it "my mistress." Over the years I have spent a great deal of time and money maintaining and improving her. The car starts easily the first try and settles into a beautiful idle. She idles well, runs well, and sounds spectacular. Paint is in excellent condition - The car was repainted not long before and whoever painted it did a great job. Very clean with a lot of clear coat & depth. The only thing that is not exactly as it should be is the switch on in the middle of the dash. The switch operates the in-tank fuel pump. I was having some problems with it, so rather than trace the wires and tear everything apart I decided the most reasonable solution at the time was to mount a switch to activate the pump. It's a nice big switch and it makes start up and shut down feel like a bit more of an occasion. The tach, speedo, and all gauges work properly. The car handles well and is quick and comfortable. I've driven the car extensively over the years that I've had it, but the time has come to pass he on to another enthusiast who will take care of her. I wouldn't hesitate to drive this car anywhere. After all the maintenance I've done over the years, the car is quite reliable.
