About the Alfa Romeo Spider Series 2
The Series 2 Alfa Romeo Spider, often called the 'Coda Tronca' or Kamm-tail, replaced the original boat-tail Duetto with a more aerodynamic, squared-off rear. The 2000 Veloce was the range-topping variant of this era, featuring the largest iteration of Alfa's celebrated all-alloy twin-cam engine. While European models retained twin carburetors, US-market examples like the 1975 model year were equipped with SPICA mechanical fuel injection to meet emissions standards. It remains a collector favourite for its balance of 1960s mechanical purity and improved 1970s usability, including a more spacious boot and a legendary five-speed gearbox.
