The Appeal
The Alfa Romeo Spider is one of the most iconic sports convertibles to emerge from Italy, and Series 3 examples from the 1980s combine classic Pininfarina styling with mechanical refinements and improved everyday usability. With its 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine paired to a five-speed manual gearbox, it remains a particularly rewarding car to drive.
This 1989 example has been owned by its current keeper since January 2022 and is said to have benefited from substantial mechanical attention during this period. The bodywork is finished in grey and the seller reports only three small areas of superficial corrosion, with no perforation. Inside, the grey and red cabin has been refreshed, notably with seat base renovation and new floor mats fitted. A wooden steering wheel completes the package.
With a valid roadworthiness certificate until January 2031, this Spider makes an interesting proposition for anyone seeking a characterful Italian classic that's been regularly maintained and ready to hit the road.

✓ We require that non-refundable fees are paid if you are the successful winner of the auction or your offer is accepted. Please refer to our FAQs and terms and conditions for specific rates.
✓ This vehicle is "sold as seen", on an "as is, where is" basis and without warranty. Photos and descriptions are provided for indicative purposes only and it is customary to carry out a full inspection of the vehicle before purchase for your own peace of mind.
✓ GST is included in the buyer's deposit. GST may or may not be included in the final offer or bid price, as specified in the listing.
✓ We want the transaction to run smoothly, just as you do, which is why cars and motorcycles registered in the UK and listed for sale on Car & Classic are subject to an HPI check to verify they have no insurance database markers for damage or theft, and are not subject to a financial lien, allowing you to bid with confidence.
✓ We also verify whether vehicles are registered as written off following a total loss claim at the time the listing is placed on Car & Classic and we provide write-off category markers (Cat C/D/S/N) to assist you. The presence or absence of a marker does not, however, guarantee the vehicle's status and it is always worthwhile to carry out a full vehicle history check before making an offer on it.
✓ Buyers are responsible for collection or delivery of the vehicle. Importing vehicles may incur additional customs duties and import taxes. If you wish, we can recommend a third-party transport company that can assist you. For further details and to speak with the team, email auctions@carandclassic.com.
