The Appeal
The 1992 Alfa Romeo Spider S4, with its iconic Giallo Yellow paintwork, embodies the spirit of classic Italian roadsters. With sleek Pininfarina styling, this Spider S4 not only stands out but also echoes an era of design excellence, when cars were crafted as much for their aesthetic appeal as for their performance.
Driving this Alfa Romeo is nothing short of exhilarating. The twin-cam engine roars to life, promising a dynamic drive that is both smooth and engaging. The tactile response from the road coupled with the superb engine make the Alfa a true drivers car that will reignite the passion of true car enthusiasts with every turn and touch of the throttle.
In superb condition throughout, finished in a colour that perfectly complements the classic Italian design and with a long MOT, it’s ready to drive and enjoy - and look good doing it.
The History and Paperwork
- We are informed it’s been restored by a previous owner
- MOT certificate valid to July 2024
- V5 present and correct
- V5 notes "substantially repaired and/or accident damaged" - according to the vendor due to the difficulty for the insurance company to locate a rear wing and back bumper (the only parts damaged on the vehicle) it was marked as a insurance loss.

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.
| Bid Amount | Increment |
|---|---|
| £0 to £9,999 | £100.00 |
| £10,000 to £49,999 | £250.00 |
| £50,000 to £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
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.
