Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce 1750 “Duetto” UK

The Alfa Romeo Spider 1750 Veloce represents one of the most desirable evolutions of the classic Alfa Romeo Spider. Introduced in 1967, it combined the elegant open-top design of the original Duetto with increased power, improved refinement and greater long-distance usability. For many enthusiasts, the 1750 Veloce strikes the perfect balance between the purity of the early Spider and the stronger performance of later models.

Styled by Pininfarina, the Spider retained the beautiful flowing lines and distinctive boat-tail silhouette that made the original Duetto famous. Beneath the bonnet, Alfa Romeo installed a larger 1.8-litre twin-cam engine producing noticeably stronger mid-range performance whilst preserving the free-revving character for which Alfa Romeo sports cars became renowned. The result was a roadster equally suited to spirited driving and relaxed touring.

The 1750 Spider Veloce delivers a wonderfully balanced driving experience. Steering is light and precise, the rear-wheel-drive chassis remains playful and responsive, and the twin-cam engine rewards drivers who enjoy using the full rev range. It feels agile on narrow mountain roads yet comfortable enough for longer journeys through the Italian countryside.

Compared with the original 1600 Spider, the 1750 Veloce offers stronger torque, improved flexibility and greater cruising comfort whilst retaining the lightweight feel that defines classic Alfa Romeo motoring. For guests seeking the authentic character of the early Spider combined with additional performance, the Alfa Romeo Spider 1750 Veloce is one of the finest classic Italian roadsters ever built.

You can experience the Alfa Romeo Spider 1750 Veloce on some of Italy’s most rewarding driving roads, from the rolling hills of Tuscany and the Mille Miglia region to the dramatic Amalfi Coast, Sicily’s legendary Targa Florio route and many other carefully selected classic car tours throughout Italy.
