The Appeal
Battista Pininfarina's magnificent design, the particularly influential "coda tronca" styling and the "Nord" four-cylinder all contribute greatly to the enduring appeal of the Alfa Romeo Spider. But, in the truest Alfa Romeo style, these cars are far more than just a list of specifications: this DNA brings something special to their handling and the pleasure they deliver to driver and passengers alike.
This 1982 example, now presented in silver with a black interior, is among the last cars of the Series 2. It therefore features the 2-litre engine as well as the original interior with its twin-gauge instruments. It has had only five owners in 44 years and is said to have benefited from an engine bottom overhaul. The seller acquired it in June 2026. Since then, the car has been garaged when not in use and receives regular maintenance, including an oil change and filter replacement. It comes with a valid MOT until April 2028.
Some signs of wear are evident, notably slight chassis corrosion at the rear and on the right side, superficial non-perforating corrosion on the right wing and lower body area, and a small scratch on the left wing. The car remains presentable nonetheless. It could suit an enthusiast looking to enjoy their Spider while progressively improving its cosmetic condition.
