THE APPEAL

Described as ‘one of the best sports cars of its time’ the Pininfarina-penned Alfa Romeo Spider is a gorgeously crafted roadster that provides all the thrills and enjoyment an open-top Italian two-seater should. This 2002 registered Spider features the renowned 24-valve Busso 3.0L V6 engine, touted as one of the greatest production engines ever to be built.

With several awards issued upon its release in 1995, such as ‘Car of the year’, ‘Best Designed car’ and ‘Best car to drive’, the Spider really made an impression in the industry. The car's distinctive looks have aged well, with this particular car being kept in fair condition thanks to years of storage and little road use.

A fun roadster and very much a modern classic. A superb car to enjoy now spring is around the corner.
