I've bought myself a Spider!
I am now the proud and very happy owner of a right hand drive 1969 1750 Spider Veloce "Boat tail", although, until the better weather arrives, it will be safely garaged with my MGB Roadster.

Re: I've bought myself a Spider!
It just goes to show that hard work, plenty of late nights at work and an element of fortune would eventually pay off

Re: I've bought myself a Spider!
She looks in better condition than my 1991 Spider! Very cool, and such a lovely colour too. Well done indeed on your purchase - you've walked straight into a car which shows that many modern designers are guilty of over-complicating shapes. Stunning

Re: I've bought myself a Spider!
My Spider is very clean, although some of the engine ancillaries aren't looking their best. If anyone is going to Spring AD or NAD, you will be able to take a close look as we will both be there.

Re: I've bought myself a Spider!
It looks good. I really like the colour. I'm sure it will truly stand out in a crowd.

I presume that your car is left hand drive, it would explain why these items are on the opposite side to mine.
Do you have a picture of your engine compartment? |
