Description
This 1977 Alfa Romeo Spider 2000 (Series 2) is a wonderful example of the much-loved Italian roadster, freshly refreshed with significant recent investment. Combining Pininfarina’s timeless design with Alfa’s free-revving twin-cam engine, it delivers all the charm of classic motoring while benefiting from careful upgrades and restorative work.
Exterior
Presented in a striking new silver finish, the car underwent a professional respray in 2025 costing £5, 000, giving it a deep lustre and showroom-like presentation. The elegant silver tone sets this Spider apart from the more common reds and enhances its sleek lines, especially when paired with the contrasting black convertible hood. The hood is brand new (fitted at a cost of £1, 500) and fits snugly, free of rips or fading, making it both stylish and weather-ready. Chrome brightwork remains in fine condition, with bumpers and trim presenting very well.
Interior
Inside, the cabin retains its classic Italian character, with supportive seats, a clean dashboard, and functional instrumentation. Switchgear is operational, the three-spoke steering wheel feels tactile, and the gearstick slots neatly through the 5-speed box. The interior has benefitted from attention to detail, with trim and fittings refreshed as needed to keep the driving environment pleasant and true to period.
Mechanical Condition
Power comes from Alfa Romeo’s renowned 2. 0-litre twin-cam four-cylinder engine, delivering a spirited and tuneful drive. The current owner has invested around £2, 000 in mechanical upgrades and fixes, including clutch work, carburettor tuning, and suspension attention, ensuring the car runs strongly and handles as it should. The engine fires willingly, idles smoothly, and offers that characteristic Alfa rasp on the move. Recent mechanical expenditure has improved both reliability and drivability, making this Spider a genuine “turn-key” example.
Overall Condition
Described fairly as good to excellent for its year, this Spider shows the benefits of recent cosmetic and mechanical investment while retaining its authentic 1970s character. It’s a car that’s ready to be driven and enjoyed, not one that needs to be tucked away for further work.
Ownership & Practicalities
Registered in the UK with a V5C in the current keeper’s name, this Alfa Romeo Spider is ULEZ-exempt, making it perfect for London-based ownership and events. Whether for weekend drives, classic shows, or as a glamorous addition to a collection, this example is ready for its next custodian. 1977 Alfa Romeo Spider - Timeless Italian Design
Styled by Pininfarina, the Spider 2000 is one of the most iconic open-top silhouettes ever built. Its long bonnet, elegant curves, and low stance make it a car that turns heads wherever it goes.
ULEZ-Exempt Classic
Being over 40 years old, this Spider is completely exempt from London’s ULEZ charges — making it a perfect classic for city owners who still want to cruise in style.
Freshly Restored Where It Matters
With a professional £5, 000 respray, a brand-new hood, and recent mechanical investment, this car avoids the “hidden costs” that can come with buying a classic. It’s already had the expensive work done.
Engaging to Drive
The 2. 0-litre twin-cam engine delivers that unmistakable Alfa Romeo rasp, paired with a slick 5-speed manual gearbox. It’s a car that rewards spirited driving yet remains comfortable for long summer tours.
Rare in Silver
Most Spiders are red — but this one’s elegant silver finish sets it apart and gives it a more sophisticated, understated look. It’s a colour that enhances the lines and makes the chrome trim pop.
Use It or Show It
With its strong cosmetics and reliable running, this Alfa is equally at home on weekend drives, at classic car shows, or parked outside a café in Chelsea on a summer evening.
Investment Potential
Classic Alfa Spiders have been steadily rising in value, especially well-presented Series 2 examples. This car offers not just driving pleasure, but long-term collectability.
