Description
History of the Alfa Romeo Spider Series 4 In the autumn of 1989, Alfa Romeo unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show the fourth and final evolution of the legendary Spider. The vehicle’s fundamental lines were still drawn by Battista Pininfarina and the famous Pininfarina design house, and it remains today one of the most timeless designs in Italian motoring. For the Series 4, the classic look was modernised with a restrained touch. Among the most notable evolutions were bumpers painted in body colour and the rear light strip spanning the full width. At the same time, the Spider received significantly enhanced comfort equipment, including electric windows, electrically adjustable mirrors and power steering. Thus, this latest series combined the traditional character of the roadster with a noticeably more pleasant everyday usability. Most 2-litre versions were equipped with Bosch fuel injection and a catalyst. In total, only about 19, 000 Series 4 examples were produced, making it today one of the most sought-after and versatile versions of the classic Alfa Romeo Spider. Description of the Alfa Romeo Spider offered here This Alfa Romeo Spider 2. 0 Series 4 was ordered in black and delivered new in Germany. Its third and last owner – a passionate collector of classic cars – originally acquired this exceptional Spider for his wife. For more than 15 years the vehicle remained within the family and was maintained throughout this period by the legendary Alfa Classic Center, now known as Scuderia Sportiva Servizio in Dortmund. The mechanicals are in impeccable, impeccably maintained condition. With a mileage showing of only 87, 316 kilometres, this Spider today presents as a particularly authentic and remarkably preserved specimen. The paintwork is also in exceptional condition, with no notable damage. The interior has been elegantly enhanced with red leather seats. Additionally, elegant additional instruments have been integrated in place of the original ventilation nozzles above the centre console, giving the driver all essential information at a glance. The roof has been recently replaced and is likewise in immaculate condition. With this Spider, every journey – whether a drive to the nearest glacier or a crossing of the Alpine passes – becomes a refined and relaxed pleasure. The Series 4 of the Alfa Romeo Spider today enjoys an excellent reputation for reliability and ease of use. Conclusion In our view, the Alfa Romeo Spider is among the last true Italian roadsters – pure, light and full of character. A genuine Automobile Italiana from a time when driving sensations, sound and design mattered more than electronic perfection. Its famous Alfa Romeo twin-cam engine tempts with its lively temperament and that inimitable note felt almost as much as heard. Hood down in the wind, it delivers that unique blend of elegance and lightness for which Italian sports cars have been admired for decades: la dolce vita on four wheels. It’s no accident that Alfa Romeo pursued and refined this Spider concept for nearly three decades. Moreover, availability of spare parts and maintenance costs remain particularly reasonable even today. Note The stated mileage has been read from the odometer. Because of the vehicle’s age, the total actual mileage cannot be guaranteed. All offers are without obligation and subject to intermediate sale. Our terms and conditions of sale and delivery apply.
