The Appeal
One of the most important cars in Alfa Romeo's history, the S3 is the definition of an Italian classic - having remained in production for nearly three decades from 1966 all the way up until 1993. While modifications were made, the car's essential character remained unchanged - after all, if it isn't broken, don't fix it. With perky performance and nimble handling, this top-down roadster was a perfect summer drive, and continues to be one of the gold stars of the already impressive Alfa Romeo repertoire.
This specific model is unique with its uncommon right-hand drive configuration and its striking Doppio Strato Mid metallic blue finish. The car has been well-maintained and comes with a comprehensive service history, and we're sure will prove to be a very exciting prospect for any enthusiast.
