Description
2008 Alfa Romeo Spider 2. 2 JTS Limited Edition
Carbonio Black | 63, 800 Miles | Fully Prepared by StraightRange
There are cars you buy with your head… and then there are cars you buy because they make you feel something.
This is firmly the latter.
The Alfa Romeo Spider (Type 939) is one of those rare modern classics that still delivers the emotion, the theatre, and the sense of occasion every time you take it out. Designed during a period when Alfa Romeo were producing some of their most striking modern shapes, the Spider remains one of the most elegant open-top cars of its era.
Finished here in Carbonio Black metallic, this 2008 Limited Edition example presents exactly as you would want — clean, honest, and properly sorted, with just 63, 800 miles from new.
More importantly, it’s not just a good-looking car — it’s a car that has been properly prepared and invested in, ready to be enjoyed from day one.

The Story
This is a car that has clearly been cared for throughout its life.
Originally registered in July 2008, it has covered a very modest mileage for its age and comes with a documented service history (12 stamps up to 2023), backed up by recent specialist work in 2026.
It has been garaged previously, and it shows — the condition, feel, and overall presentation are exactly what you want from a Spider of this age.
This is not a tired example needing money spending.
This is one that’s already had it done.

Performance & Driving Experience
Under the bonnet sits Alfa Romeo’s 2. 2 JTS petrol engine, producing around 185bhp, paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox.
It offers the perfect balance for this type of car:
• Smooth, usable power delivery
• Enough performance to feel engaging
• Comfortable long-distance capability
This is a car you can enjoy properly — whether that’s:
• A weekend drive through the countryside
• A summer evening run with the roof down
• Or simply arriving somewhere and enjoying the moment
The Spider platform is known for its composed handling and planted feel, making it far more than just a “pose” car — it’s a genuinely usable driver’s car.
⸻
Recent Mechanical Investment (£1, 200+)
A key part of this car’s appeal is the recent specialist preparation.
In April 2026, over £1, 200 has been spent with Alfa Romeo specialists, ensuring the car drives exactly as it should.
Work includes:
• Rear springs replaced
• Rear shock absorbers replaced
• Anti-roll bar links
• Parking sensor repair
• Oil & filter service
This isn’t just routine maintenance — it’s the type of work that transforms how a car feels on the road.
The result is a Spider that:
• Drives tight and composed
• Feels sorted and confidence-inspiring
• Is ready to be enjoyed immediately
New MOT until May 2027
No known faults

Exterior – Italian Design Done Properly
Finished in Carbonio Black metallic, the car presents very well for its age.
Key highlights:
• Straight, clean body panels
• Good overall paint finish with only light age-related marks
• 19” alloy wheels
• Matching Pirelli tyres
• Fully operational electric folding roof
The design still turns heads today — low, wide, and unmistakably Alfa Romeo.
It’s a car that looks just as good parked as it does in motion.
⸻
Interior – Clean, Classic & Driver-Focused
Inside, the car continues the same theme: clean, original, and well cared for.
Features include:
• Black leather seats with grey inserts
• Heated seats
• Original Alfa Romeo audio system
• Driver-focused cockpit layout
The cabin has that classic Alfa feel — slightly driver-biased, simple, and purposeful.
Importantly, it hasn’t been over-modified or messed with. It remains true to how it should be.

Why This Spider Stands Out
There are plenty of Alfa Spiders on the market.
Very few are:
• Properly prepared

• Ready to be used immediately
This one is.
No guesswork. No immediate bills. No disappointment.
Just a sorted car, ready to enjoy.
