- 2.0ltr Twin Cam engine with Bosch Fuel Injection
- Rare Airconditioning
- Just 3 owners since its arrival to the UK in 1992
THE APPEAL
The Alfa Romeo Spider is one of the most beautiful convertibles ever created and when the Italian marque unveiled its new convertible to the world in 1966, it was a sensation.
The Duetto or Boat Tail Spider was a stunning piece of automotive design and the Spider model, which went through 4 revisions, would stay in production for 27 years. The example on sale with Car and Classic is a 1984 US market Veloce Spider S3, which benefits from the rare airconditioning dealer option.

THE HISTORY AND PAPERWORK
- V5C Registration document
- First registered in the UK on the 11th June 1992
- The Spider S3 has a current MOT until 24th January 2024 with no advisories
- Odometer shows 89,079 miles
- The car is supplied with the original Owners Manual and US market booklet
- The Spider S3 comes with a good history file with a nice number of invoices documenting its maintenance from its early days in Florida
- There are also a good number of maintenance invoices from its time here in the UK
- The current owner acquired the Spider in 2015 and has had it looked after by an Alfa specialist in Kent, with numerous invoices on hand documenting its maintenance.
THE INTERIOR
- The Spider sports black leather seat which are in good condition with only a few marks and signs of wear present
- The rest of the interior is presentable with signs of use and wear as you would expect for a 39 year old classic
- The classic Alfa deep dish wood rim steering wheel is in nice shape with only a few marks present
- There is some cracking to the clear coat on the gear knob which is shown in the photos
- There is a crack on the dash which is shown in the photos. However the rest of the dash is in good shape.
- The carpets are in decent shape with some wear and tear evident on the drivers floor mat
- The seller states that all the gauges and dials work as they should
- They note that the radio currently doesn’t work
- Both electric windows work as they should
- The airconditioning, which is a rare feature on an S3 Spider, is said to work well and blows cold air. The seller adds that the heater works well too.
THE EXTERIOR
- This Veloce Spider is finished in classic Alfa Romeo red with a black convertible hood
- The paint presents well from a distance. However up close there is some micro blistering evident in the paint, along with some chips and scratches.
- The bonnet also has some oxidisation in the red paint, which may well polish out.
- The panels and shut lines are nice and straight. Overall the car is best described as a driver that can be used and enjoyed.
- The Veloce Spider is fitted with aftermarket alloys which are in good shape. An original Campagnolo alloy spare comes with the car and this was likely the style that was fitted to the car when new.
- There is surface rust evident in the boot floor pan which could do with being cleaned and treated
- In 2016 the convertible top was cleaned and recoloured in black. It presents well with only a few marks and signs of wear evident. The rear screen is also in good condition with some light marks and scratches. A black tonneau cover also comes with the car.
- The underside appears to be in good condition in the photos
THE MECHANICS
- 2.0 litre twin cam engine which is mated to a 5 speed manual gearbox
- As this is a US market car it was fitted with Bosch fuel injection which the seller states works well
- The seller confirms the Spider goes very well down the road with good oil pressure and cruises comfortably on the motorway
- It was serviced on the 26th January 2023 at 88,996 miles. The rear brakes were also serviced at the same time.
- Vendor informs us that a new starter motor has been fitted.
SUMMARY
There is no denying the appeal of an Italian convertible, especially a head turner like an Alfa Romeo Spider. It is a timeless classic that looks as good today as it did in 1984.
This Alfa Romeo Veloce Spider would make a great classic for summer drives out and is an example that can be used and improved as you go along. With prices of S1 Duetto Spiders out of reach of many, the S3 Spider presents an affordable way into classic Italian convertible ownership.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da £0 a £9,999 | £100.00 |
| Da £10,000 a £49,999 | £250.00 |
| Da £50,000 a £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
