You are bidding on a 1969 Alfa Romeo 1750 Spider Veloce that has been in storage since 1987. The engine ran fine and the transmission shifted smoothly with no syncro issues when put in storage. The engine currently turns freely but has not been started. The car rolls freely but has no brakes. The clutch master cylinder is seized and I do not know the condition of the clutch slave cylinder or other clutch parts. Due to the length of time in storage the car will need work in order to become road worthy and bidders should consider this car a "project" car in need of restoration. I purchased the car in 1986 and shortly afterwards had a body shop repair the rocker panels and rear wheel arches with metal parts from International Auto Parts. The rocker area was not repaired in the factory style and the joint on the door sill reflects poor workmanship as can be seen from the photos. I believe they made the rocker area structurally sound but I am making no representation whatsoever regarding any structural aspect of the car. Auto body filler was used on the inside of the rear wheel arches. The body shop painted the car and there is overspray and "orange peal" in some areas, they also used epoxy and fiberglass cloth for some patches, some of which can be seen in the photos. Bidders should conduct their own examination of the vehicle or make allowances in their bid price to repair areas traditionally subject to rust in Alfa Romeos of this vintage. This car is substanitally complete. It has the 1750 engine ( number 00551.2514) with the Spica fuel injection. The car was originally white. but red when I purchased it. I believe the only missing parts are the lense to the backup light, tool kit , pull tab on the glove compartment door and the fan shroud, one hub cap is damaged. The car still has the cross bar between the front bumpers and the ridgeline above the grill. It does not appear that it has ever sustained any front collision damage other than some small dents in the grill. All bumpers are in good condition with no significant dents and the car still has the "lolipop" reflectors in the rear as can be seen in the photos. On close inspection one can see that the rear edge of the trunk is not quite right and probably sustained some damage. There is also some rust under the rear edge of the trunk. The car comes with a new carpet kit which has not been installed - the carpet was only put in place for photographs and has not been permanently attached. I am at least the third owner. I have some invoices from prior owners going back to 1977 and an odometer reading of 46,530 miles. One invoice shows that in 1981 at 68,449 miles the engine was rebuilt by Gaston Andrey Inc., an Alfa dealer in the Boston area. Car has optional hardtop. This model Alfa Romeo is hard to find and increasing in value. Well restored examples are being advertised in the $30,000 range. Despite the short commings this car has I believe it is a good candidate for restoration. Alternatively, one could bring it up to daily driver condition with the thought of a full restoration at a later date. This car is offered AS IS with no guarantee of any nature. The buyer is responsible for any and all shipping costs. It is the responsibility of anyone bidding on this car to satisfy themselves as to its condition prior to bidding. Although the seller has tried to acurately describe the condition of this vehicle, and present representative photos, the seller accepts no liability whatsoever for inaccuracies, errors or omissions. The car has Pirelli P4 tires which were new 25 years ago and the successful bidder is responsible for determining if they are road worthy.

Stellantis tells UK: Change Brexit deal or watch car plants close
Wed, May 17 2023LONDON - British car plants will close with the loss of thousands of jobs unless the Brexit deal is swiftly renegotiated, Stellantis has told the UK parliament, the latest in a series of warnings from the industry since the country left the European Union. The world's No. 3 carmaker by sales and owner of 14 brands including Vauxhall, Peugeot, Citroen and Fiat said that under the current deal it would face tariffs when exporting electric vans to Europe from next year, when tougher post-Brexit rules come into force. "If the cost of EV (electric vehicle) manufacturing in the UK becomes uncompetitive and unsustainable, operations will close," Stellantis said in a submission to a House of Commons committee examining the prospects for Britain's EV industry. Stellantis urged the government to reach an agreement with the European Union about extending the current rules on the sourcing of parts until 2027 instead of the planned 2024 change. In response, a government spokesperson said the business secretary had raised the issue with the EU. "Watch this space, because we are very focused on making sure that the UK gets EV and manufacturing capacity," Britain's finance minister Jeremy Hunt said on Wednesday at a British Chambers of Commerce event. The potentially existential problem facing Britain's car industry is closely tied to the shift to EVs. Under the trade deal agreed when Britain left the bloc, 45% of the value of an EV being sold in the European Union must come from Britain or the EU from 2024 to avoid tariffs. The problem is that a battery pack can account for up to half a new EV's cost. Batteries are also heavy and expensive to move long distances. Experts have been warning since Britain left the EU at the end of 2020 that the country would need a number of EV battery gigafactories or potentially lose a hefty chunk of its car industry. Only Japan's Nissan has a small EV battery plant in Sunderland, with a second one on the way. Cost of failure Britishvolt, a startup which received UK government support for an ambitious 3.8 billion pound ($4.80 billion) battery plant at a site in northern England, filed for administration in January after struggling to raise funds. The company was then bought by Australia's Recharge Industries, which has yet to unveil plans for the site.
The Alfa Romeo Giulia starts at $38,990, or $73,595 for the Quadrifoglio
Thu, Dec 8 2016Although the 4C has been on sale for more than a year, Alfa Romeo's US comeback tour really starts with the all-new Giulia. The car goes on sale this month and is expected to compete head to head with sport sedan competition from Germany, England, Japan, and America. The automaker released details on Giulia trims and pricing, and it appears to be right in the mix with the competition. The new Alfa Romeo Giulia starts at $38,990 with destination. While that's on the high side of its class, it's still right in the mix. All of the competition falls between the $34,445 BMW 3-Series and the $40,425 Mercedes-Benz C300. Where the Giulia really shines at this price point is performance, with a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four engine that generates 280 horsepower and 306 pound-feet of torque. Alfa claims a 5.1 second 0-60 mph time for the base model, which trounces the competition. The big bad Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio starts at $73,595 with destination. That's quite a bit more than the BMW M3 and Cadillac ATS-V, but it's right on par with the Mercedes-AMG C63 S Sedan. The four-leaf clover has a 2.9-liter biturbo V6 that turns out 505 horsepower and 443 lb-ft of torque. That's good for a 3.8 second 0-60 mph and a record-setting 7:32 Nurburgring lap time, if you care about such things. The standard Giulia and Giulia Ti ($40,990) are available with FCA's Q4 all-wheel-drive system for an extra $2,000. The Giulia Ti is available with Ti Lusso and Ti Sport packages for $2,250 each. Think of the Ti Sport as the Quadrifoglio light and the Ti Lusso as the comfortable and relaxed model. All versions of the Giulia come equipped with an 8-speed automatic, and Alfa Romeo currently has no plans to offer a stick shift in the US. The Giulia Quadrifoglio goes on sale this month, with the rest of the lineup hitting showrooms next month. If shoppers can look through the vast competition for what on paper is the sportiest of small sport sedans on the market, Alfa may be here to stay. Related Video:
Alfa sprints toward Geneva with two-door Giulia
Fri, Feb 3 2017Alfa Romeo is poised to add a two-door version of the Giulia to its lineup, according to a report from Motoring out of Australia. The coupe could be called the Giulia Sprint and be revealed at the Geneva Motor Show, the website says. The Sprint name has been used on a variety of sporty Alfas, like the 1965 Giulia Sprint GTA shown above, over the years. The move would broaden Alfa's lineup which currently stands at just the Giulia sedan and the hard-edged 4C sports car in the United States. The 2018 Stelvio SUV joins Alfa's portfolio this year. The company's five-year plan indicates two specialty vehicles will join its lineup in the coming years, though they're unspecified. An Alfa spokesman declined to comment to Autoblog on future product. The Giulia two-door would likely share powertrains with its sedan sibling, which offers a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder making 280 horsepower and a turbo 2.9-liter Ferrari-derived 505-hp V6. The coupe would take aim at the Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe, BMW 4 Series, Cadillac ATS coupe, Audi A5, Infiniti Q60, and others. Related Video:
