The Appeal
The 1960s were the greatest decade for convertibles. Mercedes-Benz gave us the Pagoda, Jaguar the OTS E-Type and Alfa Romeo delivered perhaps the prettiest of them all - the Duetto Spider.
With beautiful boat-tail coachwork by Pininfarina, the Duetto stole the hearts of all who saw it, and those who went on to drive it were equally impressed by its sweet-revving all-alloy twin-cam engine and five-speed gearbox.
Car & Classic is delighted to offer a rare opportunity to own a 1969 Alfa Romeo 1750 Duetto in truly gorgeous and original condition. Finished in its original factory red with black leather seats, this example has been immaculately preserved, making it one of the finest you will find.
Unlike many Duettos that have not stood up to the rest of time, this one has not only survived by thrived! Remaining as it left the factory; a rare find in today’s market, the combination of matching numbers, factory-correct colour scheme, and good mechanical condition makes this a collector-grade Duetto, ready to offer the quintessential Italian sports car driving experience.
