1986 ALFA ROMEO SPIDER VELOCE IN EXCELLENT COSMETIC AND MECHANICAL CONDITION WITH LOW MILEAGE AND AIR CONDITIONING!!!
I am the second owner of this vehicle. I purchased this car from a dealership in New Hampshire who acquired it as a trade-in from the original owner. The original owner was a long-time client of the dealership and he took excellent care of this fine Italian sports car. The car was always kept covered and in a climate controlled garage, and only used during warm weather season. It was never driven in snow or ice. The original owner kept records of maintenance and all of those records will accompany the car. This Alfa only had 36,000 miles when I bought it about 1.5 years ago, and now only has 42,025 miles. I drove it home from New Hampshire to Alabama when I bought it and had absolutely no problems. The a/c works great and kept me cool the entire trip which was in August. Since I got the car, I have kept it in a covered carport with a car cover on it and a tarp over the cover. The car cover came with the car and will also go with the new owner. It also has a separate cover that protects the top and goes underneath the car cover (see pictures.) This car has the original leather seats (with new foam inserts), original paint, original carpet, and original floor mats, all in excellent condition. The new convertible top was professionally installed and looks and functions great. All electronics and electrical systems work as they should, including the power side mirrors, power windows and interior and exterior lights. The body is rust free. The car has a tonneau cover which is in perfect condition. There is a small scratch in the front bumper and a tiny, superficial chip in the windshield which is not noticeable when driving (see pictures.) It has a clear Alabama title, and I am the current owner with no liens.
The following repairs were made to the car within 1.5 years prior to my purchase of it:
-Head gasket replaced and valve job with timing adjustment
-Air conditioner coolant system replaced with 134-A coolant
-Bumpers refinished
-All four coil springs replaced with raicing-type springs (from International Auto Parts)
-Frame stiffener installed (from International Auto Parts)
-AC and alternator belts replaced
-Radiator hose kit replaced
-Rear straight exhaust pipe installed
-Windshield washer bottle and motor replaced
-Complete brake job
-Replaced worn tie rod end
-Repaired drivers side electric mirror
-Complete lube and oil service
-Replaced front and rear shocks
-Replaced both lower ball joints
-Replaced upper control arm
-Tire alignment
-Replaced engine mounts
-Installed nickel-plated exhaust header (from International Auto Parts)
-Replaced brake hoses to all 4 wheels
-Replaced pinion shaft oil seal
-Replaced transmission mount
-NEW CONVERTIBLE TOP INSTALLED
-Replaced foam in seat bottoms
-Serviced and adjusted electric windows
-New tires - Michelin Harmony (still like new)
The only service it has needed since I got it was a wheel balancing. The car is due for an oil and filter change, but I will leave that for the new owner. I replaced all the air/vacuum hoses in the fuel injection control and evaporative emission control systems with silicone hoses using a kit supplied by Greg Gordon at Hi Performance Store (you can find information about why this is important on these 20+ year old cars by doing a google search for his website.) The car does not leak any oil.
I did have a new stereo professionally installed with new speakers that fit in the existing speaker grills. The Kenwood stereo has HD radio, CD player, USB connection, and a remote. The speakers are Memphis Audio.
I have truly enjoyed this car. It is fun to drive, handles great, runs perfectly, and turns heads everywhere I go. I am selling it because I just do not use it often and so I would rather have the money to put towards investing for my retirement. Whoever gets this car is going to be very happy with it. The only things I would have replaced if I was going to keep the car are the door seals, but purely for cosmetic reason, they work just fine the way they are.
Good luck and happy bidding.

Every year Evo stages its Car of the Year test, bringing the best performance cars in the world to one location for an epic shootout. This year the magazine pitted eight CotY finalists against each other on Route Napoleon in Southern France - Evo claims it's the "best road in the world" - and then proceeded to nitpick the smallest of faults on each car until the winner could be named. You see, this year's lineup of machines was just so good that only one car obviously wasn't CotY material from the get-go. Can you guess which one judging from the list below?
- Aston Martin V12 Vantage S
- Audi R8 V10 Plus

We haven't watched a car ad with this much European panache in quite some time - and let us be clear, we're using the phrase "European panache" in its marketing sense, which is code for "women in lingerie." But it's Alfa Romeo and it's Italy and it's the 4C and what else would we ever have expected? Alfa Romeo USA has posted a two-minute spot talking up the technology and capabilities of the of 4C, with beauty shots of the car augmented by an amorous pantomime between two beautiful people wearing a whisper of clothing and some un-subtle editing; like when the phrase "pure seduction" is matched to the 4C's rear end and... some lovely lady lumps. It's totally safe for work, but that doesn't mean you want it rolling when the boss walks by. And speaking of the above phrase, we're wondering if the coupe's exterior designers signed off on "The inexplicable design of the 4C is pure seduction." Inexplicable? Check it out in the video above.

LONDON - Alfa Romeo will become title sponsor of the Sauber Formula One team next season as part of a multi-year technical and commercial partnership, both sides announced on Wednesday. "This agreement with the Sauber F1 Team is a significant step in the reshaping of the Alfa Romeo brand, which will return to Formula One after an absence of more than 30 years," Fiat Chrysler chief executive Sergio Marchionne said in a statement. Sauber announced in a statement of their own that the team will officially be known as the Alfa Romeo Sauber F1 Team from 2018 onwards. "Working closely with a car manufacturer is a great opportunity for the Sauber Group to further develop its technology and engineering projects," Sauber Holding AG chairman Pascal Picci said. "We are confident that together we can bring the Alfa Romeo Sauber F1 Team great success, and look forward to a long and successful partnership."Reporting by Alan Baldwin.Related Video: Image Credit: REUTERS/Ueslei Marcelino Motorsports Alfa Romeo Racing Vehicles F1 Sergio Marchionne FCA
