The Appeal

Since the Duetto’s starring role in The Graduate had been pivotal to the original Spider’s success, Alfa Romeo later paid homage to film when it offered a ‘Graduate’ edition of Series 3 Spider.

Here we have one such example from 1989 which has been in the UK all its life. Likely converted to right-hand drive upon arrival, this Spider is especially usable on UK roads and is in very good overall condition. It benefits from extensive repair work in 2021, documented in a series of photographs, as well as a major service with braking system refurbishment at 85,351 miles in October of the same year.

Offered with an MOT valid until September 2024, this smart, original and well-presented Spider is ready to enjoy. Don't miss the chance to make it yours, as summer is just around the corner.
