Rare car put up for auction

A rare car, a 1976 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce Series II, has been put up for online auction. The vehicle once belonged to the famous American boxer Muhammad Ali.

Vehicle specifications

Despite its considerable age, the car has a low mileage. According to the description, the vehicle's odometer shows only 130,000 kilometres.

In the opinion of experts, the vehicle is in perfect condition. This applies not only to its appearance but also to its technical specifications. In particular, the engine, chassis, transmission, and other components are all in excellent order.

The body was recently repainted. The car's interior, featuring the original steering wheel and standard radio, was treated with red genuine leather.

The vehicle has retained its original soft top and even the factory wheels with cast rims. The engine runs quietly. The car has not yet required a muffler replacement. It is fully functional. Otherwise, the buyer could have arranged for muffler repair in the SVAO district, where experienced craftsmen work.

Equipment

Muhammad Ali's Alfa Romeo features a 2-litre original engine with a power output of 133 horsepower, a five-speed manual transmission, and a rear-axle differential.

According to the documents, the car has had only two owners throughout its existence. The first was the legendary athlete himself. The second was his friend Tim Shanahan, who carefully preserved the vehicle for four decades.

The car requires no modifications. The new owner will be able not only to acquire a magnificent specimen for their collection but also to periodically show it off to others by driving it around the city streets.

The price of the lot has changed several times. It is difficult to estimate how much the new owner will pay for this rare car. However, in any case, it is worth the purchase. Muhammad Ali is a legendary boxer who left his mark on history. He is an idol for young people and those of middle age. Presumably, one of them will be the buyer.
