History
1989 -1998
Arrived in England in 1989 as a good original car. The then owner, Guy, spent £7,300 on restoration and repair. Invoices are on file for this work .
1998-2004
1998 the car was offered for sale and bought by the brother of a leading Alfa Romeo restoration specialist, Bonello Auto Services.
The following 3 years saw a fanatically detailed mechanical refurbishment and upgrade. Leaving nothing to chance every component was stripped, checked, refurbished, replaced or repaired.
This work amounts in parts alone (all invoices on file) to £8,000. The hundreds of hours of labour by the Bonello brothers is not recorded on what Mike Bonello refers to as a labour of love.
2004-2016
2004 Purchased by the current owner.
During current ownership the car has continued to be maintained and improved by Bonello Auto Services with invoices on file for £12,900.
Multiple improvements to bring the car to as close as is practically possible to an original Veloce spec as per factory technical circular from DIPRE AUTO, AR no. 105.97.764 dated 28.10.64

We have followed these guidelines as close as is practically possible.

Most recently a complete repaint and major re-chrome to rectify the inevitable minor scrapes and bumps accumulated over the last 22 years was completed.
As a testament to the quality of the original bodywork no major corrosion was present and the car presents extremely well with excellent shut lines and tight panel gaps.
The only area for improvement would be a new hood as the original is perfectly functional but a little tired now.
