Original RHD car freshly imported from South Africa
Turbo conversion with sensational performance
Fully restored
Tan leather interior and custom dash
THE APPEAL
A production run of 27 years is an impressive innings for any car, and in the case of the original Alfa Romeo Spider it managed to clock up two more years’ service than the MGB, making it the longest running mass-produced sports car of all-time.
This one is a particularly special example – a 2.0-litre derivative of Alfa’s seductive Twin Cam but equipped with an aftermarket turbocharger. It is, not to put too fine a point on it, a very quick car.
Fully restored from the private collection of an Alfa enthusiast in South Africa, it’s an impeccable example presented in wonderful condition, wanting for nothing but to be used and enjoyed by its lucky new owner.
Will require first registration in the UK – a very simple process in which the vendor, a former South African resident, is happy to assist and costs less than £100

SUMMARY
Fully restored and with a useful power boost thanks to its turbo conversion, this is a terrific example of Alfa’s all-time classic sports car.
The conversion has been professionally carried out to an exceptionally high standard and the performance is sensational, accompanied by a scintillating induction whistle from the turbo set-up.
Add in the fact that it is in glorious fully restored condition and you have an Alfa that is extremely desirable, as well as being delightfully pretty. It’s one-of-a-kind, and a really quite special car.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
