The Alfa Romeo Spider is widely regarded as a design classic. It
remained in production for almost three decades with only minor
aesthetic and mechanical changes. The first presentation of the
car. as a prototype. was at the Turin Motor Show in 1961; however. br/>the continuing success of existing models and the economic
challenges facing Italy at the time. meant that the first
pre-launch production Spiders only began to emerge from the
Pininfarina production line at the end of 1965. Unnamed at launch. br/>the name 'Duetto' was chosen in a write-in competition in Italy.
The Italian firm of Pininfarina was responsible for the design of
the body; in fact. the Duetto was the last project with which
founder Battista 'Pinin' Farina was personally associated.

Records show that this very early and rare matching-numbers
Boat-Tailed 1750cc Duetto Spider manufactured in righthand drive
format and first registered in the UK on the 1st May. 1968. The
history file has ownership details and photographs from the period
1978 to 1989 together with detailed ownership information. service
history and parts receipts from March 2005. The present owner
has had the car from July 2009. during which time it has covered
just 678 miles. On acquiring the car in 2009. it was fitted
with a reconditioned gearbox. clutch and gearbox mounting by DTR
Sportscars in Surrey. Since then it has received over £1. 00
of Alfa Romeo re-fittings. including a new mohair hood. new lights
and internal chrome work. The car was damaged (recorded
category D by HPI) and fully rebuilt in 2001 and fully refurbished
again in 2004/5 by an Alfa classic specialists. The engine bay is
also very tidy having been subjected to the same 2004/5 rebuild. It
then went on to win 'Best Alfa of the Day' at the Scottish Italian
Car Day 2012 and comes with an MoT test certificate valid until
September 2016 and historic status road fund licence valid until
1st September. 2016. With prices of these Duetto Spiders
approaching in the region of £25. 00 to £30. 00. this rare UK
registered righthand drive Alfa Romeo Duetto Spider represents
excellent value given its extremely modest
estimate.
