Brookspeed are pleased to offer for sale this beautiful Alfa Romeo 1750 Spider Veloce, offering a rare opportunity to acquire a highly desirable and exceptionally well-documented example of this iconic Italian classic.
First registered on 1st September 1971, this is a genuine UK-market Type 105.58 right-hand drive Series 2 “Kamm Tail” Spider, finished in its original and timeless colour combination of Rosso with Black interior. The 1750 Spider Veloce is widely regarded as one of the most sought-after variants of the Alfa Romeo Spider range, combining elegant styling with the superbly responsive and free-revving 1779cc twin-cam engine.
Production numbers for the RHD 1750 Kamm Tail Spider were incredibly limited, with just 138 examples produced, making these cars highly collectible today. Remarkably, this particular example is believed to be among the final cars built, with just 12 further examples produced after this chassis.
This car has clearly benefited from significant recent investment, with extensive engine and mechanical work carried out between 2023–2025 to ensure reliability and usability. The result is a Spider that not only looks the part but can be confidently enjoyed on the road – exactly as intended.
The history file accompanying the vehicle is exceptionally comprehensive, containing an extensive collection of invoices, previous MOT certificates, ownership records, photographs, and restoration documentation accumulated over decades. Most notably, the car retains an incredible 43 years of MOT certificates, documenting a recorded mileage of approximately 100,000 miles throughout its life.
Within the history is documentation relating to a substantial restoration carried out in 1992 by renowned Alfa Romeo specialists BenAlfa Performance Cars, during which the vehicle was rebuilt using numerous new and reconditioned panels and mechanical components before being repainted in Rosso 514, preserving its original factory colour scheme. Photographic records of the restoration are also included within the file.
Further specialist work was carried out in 2010, when the engine was rebuilt by respected Alfa Romeo specialist David Hood, using components supplied by Classic Alfa. At this time the car was also upgraded with a 123 electronic ignition distributor and Bosch Blue coil for improved reliability and drivability.
More recent upgrades and improvements include:
Alfaholics adjustable suspension (front and rear)
Uprated anti-roll bar
Alfaholics stainless steel sports exhaust system and 4-branch manifold
New soft top
New starter motor
New alternator
New electronic distributor
Driver’s seat cover replacement
Recent oil and filter service
Brake and clutch fluid replacement
These carefully selected upgrades significantly enhance the driving experience while remaining true to the character and charm of the original car.
Cosmetically, the Spider presents well overall and offers excellent visual appeal, though the paintwork is not concours and does show some age-related imperfections consistent with a well-enjoyed and usable classic. This has been reflected in the vehicle’s positioning and presents the next owner with the opportunity to either enjoy the car exactly as it is or further enhance it cosmetically if desired.
The Alfa Romeo 1750 Spider Veloce is regarded by many enthusiasts as the “sweet spot” of the classic Spider range, combining purity of design, rarity, and one of Alfa Romeo’s finest twin-cam engines. Genuine UK RHD examples of this quality, provenance, and usability are becoming increasingly difficult to source.
This is an ideal opportunity for someone seeking a classic Alfa Romeo that can be genuinely enjoyed on dry, sunny days with confidence, backed by extensive history, thoughtful upgrades, and decades of careful enthusiast ownership.
This vehicle is available for viewing at our Chandlers Ford showroom (SO53 1JH).

- I’d just like to say thank you to Simon and the team at Brookspeed, for making my recent purchase a fantastic experience. It was an absolute pleasure dealing with them and their amazing business. Their facilities are second to none and well worth the trip down from Bristol. Simon provided a professional and personal service throughout the whole purchasing process. So I would highly recommend Brookspeed and will be definitely using them again in the future.Thank you all ????
- What can I say Brookspeed apart from a huge huge thank you, especially to Phil in the workshop for rebuilding my Cayenne's engine so impressively but mostly to Simon King, the MD who went over and above on the attention to detail to ensure my car was safely delivered by the AA on Boxing Day, opening up especially to take delivery, for explaining all the work so I completely understood everything that needed to be done and was done with such care and expertise (see ref to Phil!), for ensuring the...

- Second time I've used Brookspeed to fix my 987 Cayman and both times they've been great. The new location is impressive, and I was able to work on my laptop in the (very grand) waiting room whilst my car was being fixed (new window regulator). Their technicians know their stuff when it comes to Porsche, and the cost was exactly as quoted, so I was a happy customer. Friendly staff too, who kept me supplied with tea and coffee. Would recommend.
- Fiting of my Porsche Sports exhaust and tequipment sports suspension was done expertly and very promptly. My 981 Cayman S now sounds and drives even better and remains a true Porsche so thanks to Stuart, Phil and Bethan and the rest of the team who are friendly and approachable so will make make me a return customer.Thanks Brookspeed!
- After many months of deliberation of looking at wheels - lowering - and suspension and many transporter forums l went to these guys for help as l was finding it all a nightmare.I had a meeting with Phil and Alex and went through the dos and don'ts and they were so helpful and certainly knew what they were talking about. So, l booked in for a service - MOT - and to change of suspension and slightly larger wheels. They and the mechanics made a really brilliant job the van looks and drives superbly... Read More
- Absolutely fantastic service. The mechatronic unit on my TT went and they were able to fix it at a much lower cost than expected and it was quicker than we thought. They talked us through every step and I felt nothing other than confidence throughout the whole experience. A special shout out to Phil who was so helpful and kind. I will be using them again!
- Following two days travelling from Spain, we arrived in Eastleigh with a serious engine problem. We found Brookspeed through Google search and arrived on their doorstep as they opened the following morning.Phil, Mike & Tom were absolutely fantastic. They did an initial inspection immediately and confirmed that we had a serious problem. Phil kindly took us to the local car hire centre and within 3 hours they had diagnosed a component failure and given us an estimate for the repairs. They kept... Read More
- Professional and Friendly from first contact throughout. Had coilovers installed by the guys, Tom asked me how I wanted it to sit and gave me lots of advice, and its fair to say I got exactly that! the van feels and looks amazing! I couldn't be happier with the service I received and will definitely be using them from now on! ????
