Alfa Romeo Spider Duetto Veloce Duetto 1969

General description : At the motor show in Geneva in 1966, Alfa Romeo introduced its first Spider, the Spider 1600. Before long, the name of the car had been baptised “Duetto”. A year later Alfa Romeo presented the first update – more horsepower – in Brussels: the Spider 1750 Veloce. The car we now have for sale was produced in 1969. After two years, the car passed into the hands of a new – female – owner. This lady had the car in her possession until 2003. In the 1990s, the car got restored by her son, Chris Mayring, the well-known Porsche restorer. Judging from the invoices that have been preserved and come with the car, the restoration was started in 1995 and completed in 1997. At that moment, the milage was 78,082 miles. The restoration was carried out to perfection and, judging from the large number of invoices, no part was missed. Actually, the car is really still as new. In 2003, by which time the mileometer read 82,357 miles, an American pilot, who was also a collector, bought the car. Treating his car with the utmost care, he has kept it in top condition over the last 13 years. We realise very well that this car is not a bargain. But we would go so far as to say that more beautiful examples or better drivers will be extremely hard to find.

Op de autosalon in Genève in 1966 introduceerde Alfa Romeo de eerste Spider, de 1600 Spider. De naam van de auto werd al gauw tot “Duetto” gedoopt. Een jaar later presenteerde Alfa Romeo in Brussel een eerste update met de 1750 Spider Veloce die vooral meer pk’s had. De auto die wij u aanbieden zag het levenslicht in 1969 en wisselde twee jaar later van eigenaar. De nieuwe eigenaar, een dame, heeft de auto tot 2003 in haar bezit gehad. De zoon van deze dame, Chris Mayring een bekend Porsche restaurateur heeft de auto van zijn moeder in de jaren ’90 gerestaureerd. Afgaande op de rekeningen die bij de auto zijn, werd de restauratie gestart in 1995 en afgerond in 1997.De tellerstand was toen 78.082 mls. De kwaliteit van de restauratie is van het hoogste niveau geweest en getuige de hoeveelheid aan rekeningen werd geen onderdeel overgeslagen. De auto verkeert zelfs nu nog eigenlijk in nieuwstaat. In 2003 werd de auto gekocht met een tellerstand van 82.357 mls. door een Amerikaanse piloot die tevens verzamelaar was. Deze nam zijn bezit zeer serieus en hield de auto de afgelopen 13 jaar in topconditie. Deze auto is geen koopje, wij realiseren ons dat. Maar wij durven te beweren dat er weinig mooiere of beter rijdende exemplaren te vinden zijn.

About Alfa Romeo Spider Duetto
The Alfa Romeo Spider, specifically the Duetto model, holds a special place in automotive history and has transitioned from being a beloved hero car to a sought-after collector's car. Let's explore its journey:

Hero Car Status:
The Alfa Romeo Spider Duetto gained significant recognition and popularity due to its appearance in the 1967 film "The Graduate" starring Dustin Hoffman. The car's role in the movie elevated its status and made it an iconic symbol of style, freedom, and youthful exuberance. The Spider Duetto became synonymous with the image of a classic, open-top sports car.

Design and Features:
Designed by Pininfarina, the Alfa Romeo Spider Duetto featured a sleek and elegant body design with flowing lines and a distinctive front grille. It had a long hood, a rounded rear end, and a convertible top. The interior offered a driver-focused cockpit with comfortable seating and classic Italian craftsmanship.

Evolution and Collectibility:
The Spider Duetto was produced from 1966 to 1969, and it evolved over subsequent generations, with various updates and changes made to its design and mechanical components. These later iterations, such as the Spider 1750 and Spider 2000, continued to be well-regarded and sought after by collectors.

Collector Car Status:
Today, the Alfa Romeo Spider Duetto is highly regarded as a collector's car. Its iconic design, connection to "The Graduate" film, and its association with the Alfa Romeo brand's rich heritage have contributed to its desirability. Well-maintained and original examples of the Spider Duetto command premium prices in the collector car market.

Classic car enthusiasts appreciate the Spider Duetto for its beautiful aesthetics, engaging driving dynamics, and its representation of classic Italian sports car heritage. The car's timeless design and open-top driving experience evoke a sense of nostalgia and captivate enthusiasts seeking a vintage automotive experience.

Owning and maintaining a Spider Duetto requires attention to its unique mechanical components and ensuring access to original parts. However, for collectors and enthusiasts, the Spider Duetto offers an opportunity to own a piece of automotive history, relive the charm of a bygone era, and enjoy the thrill of driving a classic Italian convertible.
