1981 Alfa Romeo Veloce Spider Convertible -- 25 Years of Complete Service Records Included --
VIN: ZARBA5415B1012184
Here’s a nice Alfa Spider Veloce
Convertible we’ve acquired and can now offer our great Ebay customers. I’m
always on the lookout for lower-milege, unusual vehicles and really hit the
mark with this one! It was purchased new
here locally at Alfa of Tacoma in November, 1981 and has remained in the Puget
Sound area since. There is NO history of any accidents, title brands for salvage, flood
damage, rebuild or any other nasty negatives to cause concern. Please
contact me with any questions or to make an offer before the auction ends. My direct phone number is 206/914-1173 and my
name is Mark Thompson. You’re welcome and encouraged to make an
appointment during business hours to inspect this great little roadster.
I’ll be sure to include all the original factory books and complete, detailed service records with the title. From those records the following is some of the major work that’s been done and parts replaced. These receipts begin in August, 1989 and run through this month, exceeding $10,200 in total. Just some of them include:
Clutch replacement at 69,700 miles, catalytic converter at 78K, Brake Booster replaced at 86,400 Miles, fuel injection pump at 103K, the Cylinder Head completely rebuilt at 110,200 miles, New water pump, Fuel lines & Pinion seal at 117,400 miles, New suspension springs at 124,750 miles, another catalytic converter at 128,300 miles The starter motor was replaced at 133,365. Both the in-tank primer pump and main fuel pump were replaced and the gas tank flushed & sealed at 134,400 miles this past month. Major service (totaling $1,133) done within the last 50 miles.
Because I’m always asked, “Veloce” designates the middle of the model line for the Alfa Spider. The base model is the Spartan “Graduate” with vinyl seats and no extras (the “Veloce” has nicer leather seats). Top-of-the-line is the “Quadrifoglio” with the green four leaf clover insignia.
Hop in, fire her up and the
2000cc 4-cylinder injected engine starts almost instantly, even when cold, with
just a little feathering of the manual choke.
I took the car out a few days ago for these photos and cruised at 60 MPH
for about twenty miles. What a difference having that fifth transmission gear
makes - no grinding into second gear as you’ll find on many Alfas.! Nice,
strong clutch too! A black fabric
convertible top is fitted and is in good shape however the top bow just above
the rear window has come unriveted and needs to be re-installed. A black steel rollbar has also been fitted
for safety. There is no noticeable body
rust, just a few bubbles along the bottom edge that have been there for some years. All the glass is in great shape. The factory color red paint is clear and
bright, still holding quite a shine! The
14” factory Campagnolo wheels are all straight
and true, and the four Dunlop N60 radials appear to be at least 70%. Take
another good look at my interior photos. The black leather upholstery is
in excellent condition. I find no cracks or wear-through spots in the
leather. I’m sure the carpets are original
as well and are still very clean, having always been protected with factory
mats that I’ll be sure to include. NO cracks to the dashtop at all! As pictured, both door panels are great with
no rips, tears or scuff points. Both electric
windows function as they should. I want
you to BID WITH CONFIDENCE and know that you are purchasing a nice car, however,
please don’t be upset if I miss a few minor flaws or you are required to spend
money on an unforeseen problem! No used car is ever perfect. I want
you to be happy with your purchase (and with me) and that really is my main
goal! As outlined above, please contact me with any questions. My direct phone number is 206/914-1173 and my name is Mark Thompson. You’re welcome and encouraged to make an appointment to stop by and inspect, drive and make an offer. If you’re thinking of bidding on a comparable MG or Triumph of similar vintage, you really owe it to yourself to look over this car first! A Few Additional Terms and Conditions: Please check the photos over closely and call with any questions BEFORE you place a bid! You’re encouraged to inspect the vehicle at our premises on weekdays, so send your representative early to be sure you don't miss this one. We reserve the right to cancel your bid if you have any negative feedback. DEALERS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME TO BID AS WELL! Additionally I reserve the right to end the auction early if the Alfa is no longer for sale because we’ve
We’re
always very happy to work with any shipper you choose, but you’re also welcome
to do what many of our past buyers from as far away as Alaska, Arizona, the
Midwest, Canada, Florida, New York and even the Mexican Baja have done – fly in
here to Seattle (we’ll pick you up at Sea-Tac International just a few miles
away) and then start a road trip home the same day! I wouldn’t hesitate to
drive long-distance in this Benz! As a
respected Ebay seller with many, many satisfied online buyers, I want you to
bid with confidence knowing that the Mercedes runs and drives out as it should
AND that it is being properly represented to you! Please don’t be upset if I miss a minor flaw
or some small issue comes up on the car.
NO used vehicle is ever perfect.
Having said that, I won’t hesitate to drive cross-country in it today! A Few Additional Terms and Conditions: A nonrefundable $500 deposit is due within 48 hours of the auction’s end. We can accept PAYPAL, but only for the deposit amount because of the high fees they charge. The balance is due by cash or certified funds within seven business days unless prior arrangements have been made with me. Please remember you are bidding to buy and I fully expect the winning bidder to fulfill their Ebay contract! You’re not bidding to hold or then come inspect and test-drive the vehicle later -- You’re more than welcome to do this before the auction ends.
If you do decide to have the car shipped home, there are numerous vehicle transport companies to choose from. We ship vehicles regularly and I'd suggest that you get a transport bid from Dependable Auto Shippers (DAS). They're Ebay’s preferred transporter and will give you a fair quote. Call my designated rep, Janice, directly at (469)587-5096. Give her my affiliate number (2362642) and she can pull up all our information for door-to-door or even station-to-station prices. As an alternative, you might also get bids from the U-Ship.com website you’ll be able to choose a transport broker from multiple offers. The zip code for pick-up would be 98002 (Auburn, Washington). The shipping of the vehicle and company chosen are the responsibility of the BUYER. |

Alfa Romeo working on seven-seat, mild-hybrid SUV
Sat, Dec 30 2017Alfa Romeo will kick off its next product offensive with an SUV larger than the Stelvio (pictured) being prepared for launch about two years from now. The people-hauler, built on the Stelvio's Giorgio platform (the same as the Giulia sedan), will be the first brand offering with an electrified drivetrain, and the largest vehicle Alfa Romeo has ever built. A report last year said the coming SUV would probably slot into the BMW X5 and Mercedes-Benz GLE segment, however, the XL Stelvio has been benchmarked against the Audi Q7 and Volvo XC90, and a seven-seater model is likely. Alfa Romeo Chief Technical Officer Roberto Fedeli opened up to Auto Express, saying that a larger, heavier SUV could embody brand DNA with the help of "a 48-volt mild hybrid solution." The near-instant get-up of an e-turbo would counteract weight gain expected to be around 440 pounds. Fedeli revealed Alfa Romeo's testing a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder with an e-turbo on a simulator, and said they "can achieve around 350 to 400 bhp." Right now, the standard Stelvio produces 280 horsepower from its turbocharged 2.0-liter. A larger model that opened proceedings at 350 hp would create enough separation between the Stelvio and a rival like the 333-horsepower Audi Q7 with the 3.0-liter six-cylinder. Were there a Quadrifoglio version, we'd imagine it would want to outdo the 505-hp coming from the four-leaf Stelvio. After the SUV launches, the next-generation Euro-market Giulietta bows. After that, perhaps a new 4C? This summer, Autoline Network reported that the 4C would die in 2020 due to lagging sales. Yet, according to Auto Express, Alfa Romeo execs are still deciding "whether to completely reinvent the Alfa 4C for its next generation with a new chassis architecture and engine." We know that a heavily tweaked 4C appears next year as a 2019 model, the revisions aimed at getting the coupe closer to what it should have been from the beginning, and Fedeli wants a halo car to pitch alongside Alfa Romeo's Sauber F1 sponsorship. A brand new 4C would be a lot to ask, although it appears the door isn't totally closed. Related Video:
Stellantis ready to kill brands and fix U.S. problems, CEO Tavares says
Thu, Jul 25 2024Â MILAN — Stellantis is taking steps to fix weak margins and high inventory at its U.S. operations and will not hesitate to axe underperforming brands in its sprawling portfolio, its chief executive Carlos Tavares said on Thursday. The warning for lossmaking brands is a turnaround for Tavares, who has maintained since Stellantis was created in 2021 from the merger of Italian-American automaker Fiat Chrysler and France's PSA that all of its 14 brands including Maserati, Fiat, Peugeot and Jeep have a future. "If they don't make money, we'll shut them down," Carlos Tavares told reporters after the world's No. 4 automaker delivered worse-than-expected first-half results, sending its shares down as much as 10%. "We cannot afford to have brands that do not make money." The automaker now also considers China's Leapmotor as its 15th brand, after it agreed to a broad cooperation with the group. Stellantis does not release figures for individual brands, except for Maserati which reported an 82 million euro adjusted operating loss in the first half. Some analysts say Maserati could possibly be a target for a sale by Stellantis, while other brands such as Lancia or DS might be at risk of being scrapped given their marginal contribution to the group's overall sales. Stellantis' Milan-listed shares were down as much as 12.5% on Thursday, hitting their lowest since August 2023. That brings the loss for the year so far to 22%, making them the worst performer among the major European automakers. Few automotive brands have been killed off since General Motors ditched the unprofitable Saturn and Pontiac during a U.S. government-led bankruptcy in the global financial crisis in 2008. Tavares is under pressure to revive flagging margins and sales and cut inventory in the United States as Stellantis bets on the launch of 20 new models this year which it hopes will boost profitability. Recent poor results from global carmakers have heightened worries about a weakening outlook for sales across major markets such as the U.S., whilst they also juggle an expensive transition to electric vehicles and growing competition from cheaper Chinese rivals. Japan's Nissan Motor saw first-quarter profit almost completely wiped out on Thursday and slashed its annual outlook, as deep discounting in the United States shredded its margins. Tavares said he would be working through the summer with his U.S. team on how to improve performance and cut inventory.
2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia Ti Lusso Drivers' Notes | We've got a crush on Giulia
Fri, Sep 1 2017American car enthusiasts have pined over Alfa Romeos for decades. The automaker stopped importing cars to the U.S. in 1995, with only a brief appearance with the beautiful but exotic 8C Competizione. The 4C followed along a few years later, but it too was a niche product, mainly intended to raise brand awareness than raise sales. That's where the Giulia steps in. As a compact sport sedan, Giulia is Alfa's BMW 3 Series competitor. Sure, the Giulia Quadrifoglio might get all the headlines, but cars like the Giulia Ti Lusso and Sport will be the real volume models. This is an extremely cutthroat segment with high expectations when it comes to both luxury and performance. Alfa has been out of the game for a long time, and the reputation it left wasn't exactly the greatest. Alfa Romeo has a lot riding on this car. Associate Editor Reese Counts: I like this car right from the start. It's a looker. While I prefer colors that pop, the Giulia looks wonderful even in this metallic black paint. The proportions are all perfect, and that iconic grille has rarely looked better. If Alfa does one thing right, its the styling. I felt the same way about the interior. The design is all simple and clean. The seats are particularly nice, with Ferrari-esque ribs down the middle. I'm also a big fan of the wood and leather. Only some cheap feeling plastic bits brought it down. This Giulia has a middling transmission, a good engine and great steering. There's some weird low-speed hesitation from the eight-speed that makes it feel like a dual-clutch. Once you're on it, the shifts are quick and smooth. The Lusso doesn't come with paddle shifters. That's fine. Not every car needs them. Buy the Sport if you want that sort of thing. Power and torque come on quick and effortlessly. It feels every bit as its class-leading (four-cylinder) 280 horsepower and 306 pound-feet for torque would suggest. The 5,500 rpm redline comes in quick and abrupt, making me wish it had a little more room to breathe up top. The steering is wonderful. It's quick and precise but doesn't feel jittery. I'd have to drive the competition back to back, but I think this has the best steering in the class. The wheel feels nice in your hands. Some of the other touch points are a letdown, but Alfa got the driving position and controls just right. Not a , but still a . Good engine, better steering.
