Description
The Atelier des 1000 is pleased to offer for sale this 1987 Alfa Romeo Spider 2. 0 Auto-Neuser in an elegant white configuration paired with black upholstery and a matching hood.
As the latest evolution of the mythical Spider designed by Pininfarina, this Series 4 retains all the timeless charm of the lineage launched in 1966 while benefiting from a modernised, more versatile use.
Today, the Alfa Romeo Spider remains one of the most iconic Italian convertibles of its generation. Valued for its timeless styling, responsive handling and the distinctive personality of its famous double‑cam four‑cylinder, it perfectly embodies the spirit of the transalpine sports cars of the 1980s.
The 2. 0‑litre version is in fact one of the most admired engines in the Spider range for its balance of suppleness and mechanical character. It follows the original 1960s/ 70s Spider Duetto and Coda Tronca and later evolved into the Series 3, known as Aerodinamica, whose aerodynamic appendages heavily defined the model’s identity from the late 1970s.
The example we are offering was delivered new in Germany and benefits from an in‑house preparation by Auto-Neuser at the Alfa Romeo factory outlet, a German distributor and tuner renowned for its Alfa Romeo builds in the 70s and 80s.
The factory preparation includes:
- wide-offset bespoke wheels
- slightly firmer suspension
- freer exhaust
- discreet cosmetic alterations
- sport steering wheel
- upholstery and colour combinations specific to the package
Based in Nürnberg, this specialist has earned a solid reputation for preparations that blend elegance, sportiness and build quality. The offered transformations notably included bespoke wheels, distinctive aesthetic elements, mechanical optimisations, and various customisations executed in the spirit of Alpina or AMG preparers from the same era.
This specimen adopts several attributes characteristic of those preparations, including a notably successful specific presentation that gives it a presence quite different from a standard Series 4 Spider.
Overall, it retains a coherent aesthetic and a quintessentially 80s charm that is today highly sought after.
Total mileage currently 122, 000 kilometres, it shows very good overall harmony.
Mechanically, the famous 2. 0-litre double‑cam Alfa Romeo engine still delivers that distinctive character that has made the marque famous: eager revs, a metallic note, and a very communicative driving experience.
The engine bay is very clean and demonstrates regular maintenance.
Various works were carried out in 2019, including:
- Replacement of the starter motor
- Carburettor overhaul
- Replacement of engine mounts
- Replacement of the exhaust system
The gearbox shifts correctly and the car offers particularly pleasant handling, true to the reputation of classic Alfa Romeos.
The bodywork is excellent in this white, especially elegant configuration.
The paint retains a lovely shine.
The wide-offset wheels contribute strongly to the car’s visual identity and enhance its stance without distorting the original lines drawn by Pininfarina.
The black hood is in good presentation and integrates harmoniously with the whole.
External elements, lights and bumpers also present well.
The black interior retains a coherent presentation with the indicated mileage.
The instrument cluster is complete and the wood‑rimmed steering wheel fully contributes to the typically Italian ambience of this Spider.
This specimen will appeal to Alfa Romeo enthusiasts seeking a Series 4 Spider with a rare epoch‑specific preparation evocative of the heyday of European preparers in the 80s.
