During the late 1960s, Alfa Romeo introduced an elegant open two-seater that would become immortalized as the “Spider” series. Among these, the 1969 1750 Spider Veloce stands out as a special model that perfectly melded Alfa Romeo’s traditional DOHC engine technology with the aesthetic brilliance of Italian design. Its 1,779 cc inline-4 engine, featuring a SPICA mechanical fuel injection system, delivers a precise fuel supply and generates 118 bhp at 5,500 rpm. Paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox, it offers linear acceleration and a lively response, while four-wheel disc brakes and advanced suspension engineering provide handling that was notably forward-thinking for its era.

This particular example was owned by the Snodgrass Family, the force behind the esteemed Brumos Porsche, for more than 45 years. Under the care of the Brumos Collection in Jacksonville, Florida, it received a concours-quality restoration, culminating in prestigious appearances such as the 2005 Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance and a class-winning achievement at the 2019 Alfa Romeo Owners Club (AROC) National Convention. Further elevating its provenance, the car is officially documented in the Duetto Register, and its extensive historical records, awards, and manuals contribute significantly to its collector value.

The 1750 Spider Veloce encapsulates Alfa Romeo’s pure sporting spirit, graceful styling, and fervent Italian passion for motoring. To this day, it continues to captivate enthusiasts worldwide. The outstanding pedigree of this example - its provenance, restoration quality, accolades, and wealth of accompanying documentation - further enhances its stature as a collectible classic. It is truly a rare opportunity to experience one of Alfa Romeo’s celebrated icons in such exceptional form.
