This fine example was completed at the Milanese Alfa Romeo, March 7, 1960, configured as a left-hand-drive Spider in full 750F Veloce trim, and finished in Rosso Chiaro (red) over Light Beige vinyl with red piping.
The Alfa Romeo, which carried a high-performance twin-cam engine with dual Weber carburetors, was delivered to the U.
S.
and sold to Hoffmann Motor Car Co.
of New York.
While the original owner was not recorded, in January of 1962 the Spider was acquired by legendary Orlando, Florida based radio DJ William Weird Beard Vermillion Jr.
Spinning the discs on WLOF AM in the '60s and '70s, he is credited with getting Van Morrison's 'Brown Eyed Girl' single on the top-40 lists in 1967.
Copies of the original temporary registration in 1962, and various Florida registrations are on file.
After 47 years, the Spider moved on to its next owner in 2009.
Fresh from long term storage, pictures of the car as found showed it to be complete, but in need of restoration.
The Alfa was sent to MAS Restorations in Las Vegas, Nevada for a complete, concours restoration.
The five-year restoration returned the car to better-than-new spec.
Torn down to bare metal, the body was refinished and resprayed in epoxy primer on top of which the original color in correct single stage urethane paint was applied.
The interior was correctly re-trimmed in the original colors using the original seats and carpets as guides.
Mechanically, the entire drivetrain was rebuilt with the top end finished by Norm Racing and the bottom end by Universal Automotive and Rebuilding - both in Las Vegas.
The finished car was topped with a new Stayfast convertible top.
The restoration is entirely documented in over 160 photographs, as well as 100 photographs immediately following the completion of work.
Shown at the 2016 Red Rock Concours d'Elegance, the freshly redone Alfa took a Top 10 of Show award.
Shown at the 2019 Alfa Romeo Owner's Club Cortile Della Corsa, the fabulous restoration earned the Spider a Certificato D'Oro with a score of 102.
Complete with its tools, books, numerous photos of the restoration, and much more, this spectacular Spider Veloce will certainly afford easy access to the country's vintage rallies and Concours d'Elegance thanks to its unquestionable pedigree.
These Veloce Spiders are sought after for their nimble-handling, and from the beautiful Pinin Farina styling to the jewel twin-cam motor, this is truly the complete package of classic motoring.
