The Plus

The Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider was one of the most elegant and desirable Italian convertibles of the early 1960s, combining Pininfarina's stunning design with Alfa's renowned sporting character. It played a starring role in the 1973 film 'The Jackal', providing transport for the elegant and anonymous assassin played by Edward Fox, and its elegant looks were perfectly suited to the film.

This 1963 model has long been in the hands of its current owner, since 1998. Having been stored in a garage throughout its current ownership and benefiting from a complete mechanical overhaul, this Giulia Spider offers a rare opportunity to acquire a genuine piece of Italian motoring heritage that has seen little use during its lifetime.
