La dolce vita
On days like this you might be thinking about coming spring. Now is the time to get a nice convertible for the sunny days, so maybe this Alfa Romeo Spider is a nice option?
The sparrows are currently blowing off the roof rather than falling dead from the heat. Still, we are already in a bit of a sunny mood this week. On Monday the spotlights were on a nice MG F, now another roadster is in the proverbial spotlight. An outright alternative, actually. In terms of age and price, this Alfa Romeo Spider is comparable to the MG F, but the Italian is a bit stronger and faster. The engine is also just in the nose and, that is actually the biggest difference, the Spider is front-wheel drive.
So it drives differently, such an Alfa Romeo Spider, but above all it looks very different. The Spider, with its body drawn by Pininfarina, was, just like the closed GTV, quite a striking car from the start. It is still a special appearance, which is a bit more sensitive to taste than, for example, the aforementioned MG F. There is no lack of Italian extravagance. You can count on it that you regularly get a second look when you drive by. That’s part of it, if you throw down the hood for the first time on a sunny day in March. Enjoy and show that you enjoy. La dolce vita.
Of course, that enjoyment does not come free of charge with today’s strong westerly wind. It starts with the asking price of $4,900. After that it is still exciting what costs may follow, although there are certainly factors that paint a favorable picture in that respect. For example, the Spider has covered just under 140,000 km, there was only one point of attention with the previous MOT and the Spider was not disposed of too quickly by its previous owners. The longest period with one owner was from 1996 to 2009. After that, there have been four owners, who spent an average of about two summers with the Alfa. Will you be next? Maybe for a little longer?
