The Appeal
Bringing together Pininfarina bodywork with Alfa Romeo’s exquisite DOHC Nord engine, the 105 Series Spider proved immensely successful and spanned four generations over an epic 28 year production run.
Here we have a really good example of the Series 3 Spider, known as the Aerodinamica due to its distinctive Kamm spoiler. It has recently been resprayed its original colour, making a very bright example and the vendor informs us that it drives impeccably. If your collection is lacking a convertible roadster, this little Alfa Romeo is sure to be fantastic fun.
