Affordable and fun ! Legendary Alfa twin cam engine in a timeless body. Perfect for parking outside the Italian ice cream parlor this summer.

Hi Andrew Graham, I love your comments :-) I can see myself driving this car doing just that, and asking "what do you have that's chocolate please?" Lou

The most beautiful Spider model. My favorite for sure. I had a '74. Yours is my dream Alfa.

Original wheels look better BUT, these are Panasports and widen the tire to a 6" as well as offset the wheels for a few inches wider wheelbase

Absolutely beautiful and desirable car. I do prefer the earlier Duettos, but these mid 80's Spiders are amazing. Great car and restoration.

Nice. My 86 Veloce is having it's engine rebuilt right now- I lost a compression ring on #3. I miss it! It's going to have 10:1 compression when I get it back, which will be really nice. They are such great driving cars! I agree that an electric fan is a must-do. I had new motor mounts and hit a dip in the road at speed, and the fan hit the sub frame and shattered, piercing the radiator.

@jimmygrant3212 7 лет назад

John McDonald usually they burn an exhaust valve about every 80k miles.

@anthonypipia6990 Год назад

I lost compression on cylinder #3, hoping its just a valve. The engine was rebuilt 5k miles ago with 10:1 motronic pistons, 11.2 and 10.5 cams, electric fan, 40mm webers, high velocity curved stacks, alcoholics exhaust and headers, and alcoholics fast road suspension kit

@Lavaman3682 3 года назад

the 4 leaf clover was the unofficial symbol of Scuderia Alfa Romeo, with each petal standing for one of the 4 cars and their drivers (among them Enzo Ferrari and Antonio Ascari (Alberto's father) during the 1923 season. One of the drivers had been enduring a terrible record, and in desperation (or superstition or both), painted a clover on his car, and promptly won a stage of the Targio Florio. The charm has been on Alfas in one form or another ever since, usually to denote special editions. For being an alfa enthusiast, I would think he would know this immediately as it is certainly Alfa lore in one form or another.

The fan doesn't break from hitting the shroud it breaks from age when the fan is old it starts to crack eventually flying apart making people think it was because of the engine mounts.

Was the stock steering wheel one with an airbag? If so, where did you purchase the wood steering wheel? Any issues with removing an airbag with the insurance?

IMHO 15" aftermarket looks SMALL, SKINNY RUBBER, weak sauce, try some 16-18" and keep your 14", 15" OEM. Unless you have to have EXACT OEM SPECS like that spec 15x6 Rota with EXACT offset. (OEM clean wheels add real value, these tiny spec RB Rota add nothing without the other set included)
