The Appeal
There are few sports cars with the legendary status of the Alfa Romeo Spider. Often credited as one of Italy's great motoring masterpieces, the Spider went through four generations that stayed true to a simply excellent formula. Indeed, the Series 4 was designed as a particularly sharply-featured reaction to the sudden success of the MX5 - and instantly won over a whole new generation of Alfisti.
It's still highly beloved today - that sleek Pininfarina design goes a long way, and even now still holds its own against its modern counterparts. This particular example has been in its current ownership since 1994, and is still in eminently drivable condition, with recent work including a new roof and a refurbished interior.
If you fancy getting behind the wheel of one of Alfa Romeo's all-time classics, this is sure to be a compelling choice.
