The Appeal
With its smooth styling and affable twin-cam powerplant, the Alfa Romeo Spider has rightfully earned its place as a much-loved fusion of Pininfarina styling, classy Italian trims and - of course - spirited performance. These characterful roadsters became synonymous with cruising through the sunny Italian countryside, and continue to be highly evocative today.
This 1977 example has been meticulously restored, with a focus on maintaining its original charm and character. The car's interior has been completely refinished, with all new parts except for the dash and speedometer covers, which have been fully restored. This much-loved sports car offers a good service history, with a folder of documents including MOT tests and invoices for new parts. It's also undergone a complete mechanical overhaul, ensuring it runs, drives, and sounds as good as it looks.
