The ancestry of the Alfa Romeo Duetto started with the
Pininfarina designed Spider Speciale Aerodynamica shown at the 1961
Turin Motor Show. Concept to production took a little longer in
those days so the Duetto only came into fruition in 1966. Initially
it was not well received and quickly earned the nickname 'Osso di
Seppoa' (cuttlefish). The name 'Duetto' came about from a
competition held by Alfa Romeo to distinguish the car from its
Giulia 105 series stable mates. the coupé and berlina and was
accepted for its reference to the two seat layout.

Records show that this very early and rare matching numbers
1570cc Duetto Spider offered today was manufactured in right hand
drive format in 1966 and first registered in the UK on the 19th
July 1967. The history file has several old MoT test certificates
and tax discs dating back to the early 1990s with invoices recorded
since 1989. More recently. some significant mechanical works have
been carried out by specialists including a rebuilt gearbox. new
clutch assembly. replacement battery. rebuilt cylinder head. br/>rebuilt carburettors. carburettor mountings. service and the
addition of electronic ignition and new ignition leads. The mohair
hood was replaced approximately two years ago and the interior trim
has been refreshed with new door cards. floor mats and the seats
have been re-trimmed in leather. The repainted steel wheels
complement the Alfa Romeo Rosso coachwork that also displays
excellent door gaps. Inside. the boot looks tidy with only a small
tear in the boot mat. Importantly. the area surrounding the fuel
tank and fuel tank lip appears in good condition. The engine bay is
also very tidy having been subjected to an engine out repaint in
recent years. This Alfa comes with an MoT test certificate valid
until mid February 2014 and Historic status road fund licence valid
until the end of February 2014. With prices of these Duetto
Spiders approaching in the region of £25. 00 to £30. 00. this rare
UK registered right hand drive Alfa Romeo Duetto Spider represents
excellent value given its modest estimate.
