The Appeal

If you're getting an Alfa Romeo Spider, chances are you're intending to drive it. These are excellent driver's cars through and through, and this example may well be the ultimate driver's spec for the perky little Italian roadster. The rev-happy 1750cc twin-cam engine has become something of a legend, and this fine example comes to auction in particularly fine order, and a handsome silver-upon-red colour scheme.

This 1971 example has been in the care of its current owner for approximately 14 years, during which time it has been used exclusively in the summer months and carefully stored under a soft cover during winter. An impressive history file accompanies the car, containing receipts and service bills documenting its maintenance over the decades, and it's reportedly ready and waiting to be driven away.
