The Appeal

Few cars capture the spirit of 1960s Italian motoring quite like the Alfa Romeo 1750 Spider Duetto. With its iconic round-tail 'boat tail' silhouette — immortalised in The Graduate — and a sweet-revving 1,750cc twin-cam four, the Duetto remains one of the most desirable open-top sports cars of its era.

This 1967 example is UK-registered and benefits from a restoration carried out approximately a decade ago. The vendor describes the car's overall condition as very good and reports that it drives really well, suggesting the mechanical restoration has stood the test of time. An appealing opportunity for enthusiasts seeking one of Alfa Romeo's most celebrated open-top models, ready to be enjoyed on the road.

Exempt from road tax and MOT testing, this rare and exotic Italian roadster could well be yours.
