Restored. Boat Tail. Roundtail. Roadster

The Alfa Romeo Spider (105/115 series) is a roadster produced by the Italian manufacturer Alfa Romeo from 1966 to 1993. Widely regarded as a design classic. it remained 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. The last Spider was produced in April 1993. it was also the last rear wheel drive Alfa Romeo produced before Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione was introduced.

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.   Franco Martinengo was the Design Director at Pininfarina at that time.   Pininfarina were also responsible for the manufacture of the vehicle's monocoque construction (designed with the relatively new principles of crumple zones incorporated into the front and rear).

A new Spider 1300 Junior. with a 1290 cc engine producing 89 hp (66 kW). was introduced in 1968. The Junior version had black-coloured lower front bumper Due to its round (or long) tail. the Series 1 Spider is sometimes known by the nickname of "Osso di Seppia" - Italian for "cuttlefish bone". This particular car was similar to the model featured in the 1967 movie The Graduate. driven by Ben (Dustin Hoffman). the character.

Our beautiful Duetto 1300 Junior has been restored with new deep blue paint. new black top and interior. The interior leather upholstery was wonderfully done with great fitment and all floor matt are superbly fitted as well. The rear trunk matt is in great shape as well as spare tire and jack.

The car runs and drives beautifully. The brakes are solid and transmission shifts well. It has just been gone through by Italian Car Master Jim Simpson. A few of the exterior trim pieces have a small ding. a small rock chip in the windshield which has been repaired. but failing that. this car is near concours as a driver quality car. Solid as a rock. the underside is as clean as the interior and paint. It drives as well as it looks.

You will be hard pressed to find a nicer. more complete example of the hard to find Duetto. In fact. Keith Martin. publisher and senior editor at Sports Car Market says its spectacular and the only one he's ever seen in North America.
