Excellent... Thanks.
Both of these cars are beautiful and unobtainable (I don't really know how to feel about that).

Ok, the video is great, better than great: But does anyone here have any knowledge of the Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce?

I know there was no convertible, but I have very crisp memories of the car. I am also aware that both cars may have issues but I may need to try one on.

I sold a 75 Celica GT to buy a 1976 Alfetta GT in 1978. Dealership had a hard time moving them so after having it for a time, I got a deal. Knew the shop well and one of their techs spent 2 full days doing the pre-delivery prep. Lapping the valves of the Spica pump with the motor was critical. Loved the car, boat anchor slow since it was the same 2liter 4 from the previous car in one that was heavier. It would rust as you looked at it, Russian steel and no undercoating and no treatment on unseen surfaces (like this inside of the fenders) where condensation would rust it. I did ziebart it, but that did not cover all of the issues.
if you are a true car guy, you need to own an Alfa once. Pic is same color same trim

I am just at the point where "interesting" at a price point that makes sense for, let's be frank, a car that makes me smile just works. Thank you for the thread, you rat bastard
