ALFA ROMEO 1750 SPIDER VELOCE

2-seater convertible.

As expected, when 1750 engines became available, Pininfarina sports style inherited then, with the same 118bhp tune as the 1750GT Veloce. As ever, five-speed transmission, but now 14ins wheels to match GTV, plus squared-off short trail for 1970 (original 1750 had a long tail). Apart from the corrosion, the Yanks liked this one, but open-car sales were dropping all round the world.
