We report results of spectroscopic observations of V382 Vel (Nova Vel 1999)carried out at La Silla between 5 and 498 days after maximum light (23 May1999, V(max) $\sim 2.3\pm 0.1$). The analysis of the photometric andspectroscopic evolution shows this object to be a {\sl fast nova} belonging tothe Fe II {\sl broad} spectroscopic class. A distance of 1.7 kpc ($\pm 20%$) isderived from the maximum magnitude vs. rate of decline relationship aftercorrecting for the small reddening toward the nova, E(B--V)$\lsim 0.10$. Fromthe measured H$\alpha$ flux and the associated rate of expansion we derive anapproximate mass for the ejected shell, M$_{env}\lsim 10^{-5}$ M$_\odot$. Wehave also observed during the early decline a broad, short-lived ($\lsim$ 10days) feature at 6705-6715 \AA for which several identifications are possible,one of which is the lithium doublet at 6708 \AA and which could place anempirical limit on the lithium production that might occur during the outburstof a {\sl fast nova}. The high luminosity at maximum, M$_v=-8.9$, and therelatively small height above the galactic plane ($z\lsim 160$pc) suggest thatV382 Vel originated from a massive white dwarf, likely in the mass range1.1--1.2 M$_\odot$.Comment: 13 pages + 9 plots(gif).
