The Spider designation for the open top sports cars originates from the word, speeder, and a two-person open horse carriage. The Alfa Romeo 105/115 Series Spider was produced from 1966 to 1993, remaining in production for almost three decades with only minor aesthetic and mechanical changes. Widely regarded as a design classic, this fourth series version of production came with further mechanical and cosmetic changes. Mechanical changes saw the introduction of the Bosch Motronic electronic fuel injection with an electric fan and cosmetically, losing its front under bumper spoiler and the rear boot spoiler picking up 164-style rear lights stretching across the width of the car together with colour coordinated plastic bumpers.

This achingly pretty Alfa Romeo Spider Series 4 is finished in Rosso with tan interior and comes with a black hood and hard top. Purchased new from Alfredo's Foreign Cars of New York whist working in the States, the couple who bought it loved their little Alfa so much that they imported it back to the UK with them upon their return in 1993. Now only selling the car due to it getting used less and less frequently, it has been very well cared for with an enviable service history and having largely been dry stored in a private car park. A speedo change was required at 18,963 miles and whilst now only showing 7,445 miles, has actually covered a still very low 26,408 miles. Finding any classic with just one owner, let alone with a complete service history tracing the car's entire life, even including its original certificate of sale is a rare thing to come by. Reported to run and drive extremely well having only ever been used during the summer months, the car benefitted from four new Pirelli tyres in 2022, brake discs and pads in 2020 and new front calipers in 2018, as well as being regularly serviced. Supplied with a V5C registration document, hard top and comprehensive service history file. A great Italian classic with unparalleled low ownership and service history, presenting a rare opportunity.
