One-Owner 1986 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE 

The Alfa Romeo Spider, introduced in 1966, is one of the most iconic Italian roadsters ever produced. Designed by Pininfarina, the Spider gained fame through its starring role in The Graduate and evolved through four distinct series over its nearly three-decade production run. The Series 3 (S3), launched in 1983, brought modern updates while retaining the car’s classic charm—most notably updated fuel injection, modern lighting equipment, and the introduction of integrated rubber bumpers to meet U.S. regulations.

By 1986, the Spider Veloce featured Alfa Romeo’s revered Nord 2.0L inline-four engine, now equipped with Bosch electronic fuel injection for improved reliability and drivability. Paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, it delivered a spirited driving experience with classic rear-wheel drive dynamics. The Veloce trim added upscale touches like alloy wheels, leather upholstery, and power mirrors, distinguishing it as the more refined variant in the Spider lineup. This model year also retained the signature Kamm tail with integrated rubber rear spoiler and benefited from improved interior ergonomics, blending vintage charm with subtle modern enhancements.
