The Appeal

This is the kind of car you want to find - a single keeper, enthusiast owned example that has clearly been cherished. Owned by a Alfa Romeo Owners Club member from new and always serviced and maintained by him personally, this smart Alfa Red convertible is one of the nicest 916 Spiders we’ve seen in a long while. The seller describes it as close to concours, which the photos support.

Aficionados will note that this car is the later Phase 2 model with the attractive revised interior. This one is highly original and even retains the rare-as-hens-teeth factory radio cassette. Beneath the clamshell is Alfa’s zesty 150bhp Twin Spark, a light, revvy powerplant that helps gives these cars great balance and handling.

The car has covered low miles for its age and the history file shows a run of regular servicing and maintenance by the seller. We’re told that it would benefit from a service and cambelt change based on age rather than mileage. The current MOT test runs to June 2027 with a few points to note.

Few modern classic convertibles have the charisma and charm of a 916. This car, with its rare provenance and condition, definitely stands out.
