Restoration project never took off in search of a second chance, or a passionate man decided to roll up his sleeves to bring back this Spider Veloce 101 to the splendor of the past. Moreover, it should not be a titanic enterprise, indeed: the car is complete, the funds are not bad.
Second series AR 1495 F 11356 born in 1960, American - as the shrewd eye will have guessed - lived in Colorado and then descended to the south, Texas. She has recently returned to Europe, more precisely in Croatia, to Varaždin. I have been getting paid for, getting a few hours on the road, unhooking the boards and bringing it home.
f course, 47,500 euros are not few, but it is up for down the amount required for authentic colander. This instead is a specimen never restored and kept dry or so, so the reduced number of hours required can make the difference. Not to say then of certain small parts that, if absent, voice on the voice brings the estimate to the stars that you do not even notice. Put that steering wheel without cracks with an intact button and the onion with a lot of original emblem ... well, my house is already 2k euro!
Yes ok, but the engine? And the transmission? There are both (although it is not known if it is a piece of original equipment, but I would bet yes). In practice, it is the only intervention carried out in view of the restoration, that is the dismantling of the propulsion unit. For the rest, the car is unmolested , which is another nice advantage: never buy vintage cars in boxes! Here is the heart, complete with suction group.
And with the transmission a lot of original parts already disassembled, including both the seats, the air filter box, the transmission bracket etc., even a Fispa FRB-11 regulator filter. Here they are in the gallery:
In short, a nice restoration project for those who want to do themselves by taking care of every detail to get the best. Otherwise, it will be useful to know that the seller - a reliable and well-known person in the community of alfisti without frontiers - also offers the possibility of delivering the restored sample.
