1976 Alfa Romeo Spider, excellent condition, 51,400 verified miles from new.
It is with intent that lots of detail is provided herewith to appeal to genuinely interested buyers. This is a truly excellent classic motor car. Please only call if your interest really is genuine.
This car has been extensively rebuilt, improved, used and maintained, regardless of cost, since 1996, with a receipt file totalling over $165k for parts, labour, special items, servicing and development. The receipts are all with Eurosport in Kent Town.
In South Australia, the car is very well known in the classic car circles and at Mallala club events to the point that there is also a 1996 AutoSpeed magazine article on the car.
Yes, this is a USA car, ex Arizona, and if you must have a factory RHD car please don’t call. This is an exceptional Spider, a driver’s car, in fabulous condition. There is also history with the car whilst still in the States and the original import papers, approvals etc are all on file.
The car is currently on historic registration in Adelaide, returned to fast road spec and used very sparingly now as a classic road Alfa.

The car is never driven in the rain or with the hood up.
