It is 1966, and something extraordinary is about to happen at the Geneva Motor Show. A new model that no one has seen yet. Unlike today, there are no leaked images on the internet or computer generated images circulating. In 1966, the excitement on the showroom floor is palpable as a new car is presented to the general public. The curtain is raised, revealing the Spider, later known as the Duetto, and it immediately left a lasting impression. Nowadays, it is one of the most well-known classics. The model remained at Alfa Romeo dealers for almost 30 years, through four different series.

Here, we have a Spider from the second series, easily recognizable by its ‘cut-off tail,’ or Coda Tronca. Sportier than the drop-shaped Duetto and later available with more powerful engines. The example you are looking at is the top model, the 2000 Veloce. While 131 hp may not sound “very sporty” by today’s standards, back in 1980, such power could be described as “sports car-worthy.”

This red Alfa Romeo Spider with a black interior presents impeccably. It was previously treated to a new coat of paint, with the next owner reaping the benefits: this Spider is ready for use. The paint has a beautiful lustre and is in excellent condition. The convertible is virtually free of any signs of wear.

The interior is also in a very well-maintained condition, featuring very attractive upholstery was also renewed at some point. The central parts of the upholstery are fabric, ensuring a comfortable seating experience. The dashboard, with its well-known beautiful gauges, is equally neat, and everything within it functions optimally. The original character has been preserved, giving the Spider a “not overly restored” appearance. The leather sports steering wheel adds a personal touch, and

with everything else remaining true to how the Spider left the factory in 1980.

Now, the technology, with the main focus on the two-litre Nord engine. A highly regarded power plant that performs excellently, sounds very distinctive, and is also quite reliable. An ideal engine for an open two-seater that invites you to drive I to he max! And driving is where the Spider excels. With disc brakes all around and a five-speed gearbox, it’s a highly inspiring car to drive. Cruising is undoubtedly an option, but the Spider truly comes alive with a bit more spirited driving!

The Spider comes with its original maintenance and warranty booklet, which reveals that the car was delivered to its first owner in Switzerland on February 26, 1980, and was serviced by the same Alfa Romeo dealer for more than 20 years.

In short, a very healthy and equally beautiful Alfa Romeo Spider in the most beloved configuration of that year. There’s no need to discuss the colour of the Spider; it is naturally fantastic. Combined with the driving qualities of this particular model, it is an incredibly good choice if you are looking for a classic open two-seater with loads of character.
