Alfa Romeo 105/115 (1966–1993)

The Alfa Romeo Spider was produced continuously from 1966 to 1993, making it one of the longest-running sports car models in history. Designed by Pininfarina, the Spider is one of the most beautiful Italian open-top cars ever built. The Series 1 Duetto, with its distinctive boat-tail rear, is the most elegant and desirable. Series 2, 3 and 4 cars offer more refinement and improved hood mechanisms. All Spiders use variants of the Alfa twin-cam engine in 1.3, 1.6, 1.75 and 2.0-litre forms — characterful, responsive units that reward maintenance. US-market cars fitted with the Spica mechanical injection system require specialist knowledge. Rust in the sills, floor and rear arches is the key concern when purchasing.

Available body styles: Roadster. Produced from 1966 to 1993.
