Original RHD car freshly imported from South Africa
Turbo conversion with sensational performance
Fully restored

THE APPEAL
A production run of 27 years is an impressive innings for any car, and in the case of the original Alfa Romeo Spider it managed to clock up two more years’ service than the MGB, making it the longest running mass-produced sports car of all-time.
This one is a particularly special example – a 2.0-litre derivative of Alfa’s seductive Twin Cam but equipped with an aftermarket turbocharger. It is, not to put too fine a point on it, a very quick car.
Fully restored from the private collection of an Alfa enthusiast in South Africa, it’s an impeccable example presented in wonderful condition, wanting for nothing but to be used and enjoyed by its lucky new owner.FRONT.jpg1.14 MB
