The Alfa Romeo Spider was manufactured from 1966 to 1993 and is
widely regarded as a design classic. remaining in production for
almost three decades with only minor aesthetic and mechanical
changes. The three first series were assembled by Pininfarina in
Grugliasco and the fourth series in San Giorgio Canavese; this was
the last rear wheel drive Alfa Romeo. The Series three Spider was
previewed in North America for the 1982 model year with the
introduction of 2. 0 litre Bosch electronic fuel injection to
replace the SPICA mechanical injection. The Spider underwent a
major styling revamp in 1983 which saw the introduction of black
rubber front and rear bumpers. The front bumper incorporated the
grille and a small soft rubber spoiler was added to the boot lid.
The change altered the exterior appearance of the car considerably
and was not universally praised by enthusiasts. Various other minor
mechanical and aesthetic modifications were also made and the 1600
car dropped the 'Junior' name. TheQuadrifoglio Verde(Green Fourleaf
Clover) model was introduced in 1986 with many aesthetic tweaks. br/>including side skirts. mirrors. new front and rear spoilers. hard
rubber boot mounted spoilers. unique 15" alloys and optional
removable hardtop. Different interior trim included blood red
carpets and grey leather seats with red stitching. QV was offered
in only 3 colours: red. silver and black. It was otherwise
mechanically identical to the standard Spider Veloce model. with a
1962cc double overhead cam. four-cylinder engine (twin two-barrel
carburettors and five-speed manual transmission.
