The Alfa Romeo Spider is one of history's longest continuously built convertibles. When the aging Giulia Spider was replaced in the mid-1960s, the strongly rounded rear of its successor, the Duetto, also known as the round-tail Spider, was not to everyone's taste. For this reason, a revised version with a shortened, straight rear, the so-called Fastback, was launched in 1969. For over 14 years, this embodied the affordable benchmark, combining sportiness, elegance, comfort, Italian flair, and dolce vita. To this day, the classic Spider has lost absolutely nothing of its timeless appeal and desirability and is one of the most beautiful forms of open-top driving.
The model offered here is a highly sought-after example built in the first half of the 1983 production year. It was one of the last with the beautiful straight rear end before the unpopular rubber lip was fitted as standard to the tailgate in the second half of the year, severely impairing the Spider's elegant lines.
This Alfa is the version with the most powerful 2-liter engine available at the time, with 126 hp, even though one of the previous owners made the joke of attaching a 1300cc badge. To this day, no one has corrected this serious visual understatement of the available driving dynamics.
The beautiful Alfa Romeo has been owned by the same circle of friends for over thirty years and has only been passed on twice when priorities or space in the garage changed accordingly.
Everyone treated it well, and it was serviced by the classic car specialist when necessary. It was always kept dry and was only used for the odd short summer or weekend trip when the weather was nice. The longest-known trip was a visit to the start of the legendary Mille Miglia in Brescia. The convertible never had to endure heavy rain or even winter use.
In accordance with its careful use, the Alfa is in surprisingly good original condition. The paintwork, chrome, and sheet metal look good. The soft top is also in immaculate condition. Despite its age, there are no significant signs of wear or damage to either the exterior or interior. The interior fittings, such as the seats and side panels, are covered with hard-wearing black leatherette and show no cracks, and the carpets are still in equally good condition.
The vehicle has a relatively low mileage for its age and is in good overall condition, both visually and technically. The seller reports that the engine starts reliably, runs smoothly, has a good throttle response, and pulls away powerfully. The transmission shifts smoothly through all gears. All equipment, controls, steering, brakes, electrics, and lighting work perfectly. The vehicle is fitted with good 195/70 R14 Pirelli P3000 tires. A general inspection was recently carried out without any complaints. A classic car certificate, a prerequisite for a German historic registration, is also available.
According to the owner, the vehicle is accident-free, unwelded, and still in its original paintwork. It is in an amazingly good, authentic original condition and has no known optical or technical defects. Turn the key and enjoy!
