Alfa Romeo Spider Auction on Bring a Trailer Halted Over Disputed Alfa Performance Connection Invoice

A Bring a Trailer auction for a 1974 Alfa Romeo Spider 2000 Veloce was disrupted after a user claiming to be from Alfa Performance Connection alleged an invoice in the listing had been falsified.

Observers flagged apparent overwrites and differing writing instruments on the posted invoice, and Alfa Performance Connection is listed as "Permanently Closed" on Google with forum posts saying the shop was moving days after the invoice date.

The seller acknowledged the attached receipt was an error, said the correct receipt was lost, and asserted that all four brake calipers had been replaced with a guarantee; Bring a Trailer removed the Alfa Performance Connection invoice from the gallery.

Commenters on Bring a Trailer questioned the explanation and said the documentation lapse undermined confidence, leaving unanswered questions about the 1974 Alfa Romeo Spider's service history and the invoice's provenance.
