Description
Pininfarina's Spider is one of the most enduring designs in convertible history. The body lines that Battista "Pinin" Farina penned in 1966 were still in production in 1988, and that longevity is a testament to how right the design was from the start. The Series 3 Injection cars like this one brought fuel injection to the 2.0-litre twin-cam, lifting output and improving driveability while keeping the mechanical honesty that Spider buyers wanted. These are drivers' cars in the truest sense, and right-hand-drive examples from this era are increasingly hard to find in Australia.
This example presents in Rosso Corsa, and the photos confirm the Pininfarina coachbuilder badge is present, intact, and original, with the chrome surround bright and the Italian tricolour logo undisturbed. The paint holds excellent gloss across the panels with minor stone chipping on the bonnet leading edge consistent with road use. The black convertible hood is fitted and functional. Inside, the black leather cabin shows wear consistent with the vehicle's age and kilometres, with natural creasing on the seat bolsters and appropriate patina on the dashboard. The cabin is intimate and driver-focused as intended. The instrument cluster reads 70,917km, confirmed in photos. An aftermarket touchscreen stereo head unit has been fitted in place of the original radio, and the steering wheel appears to be a period Nardi-style accessory item. The black leather bucket seats are in good overall condition across both rows. Red carpet adds contrast against the black leather, a factory-correct combination for this era Spider.
Series 3 Alfa Romeo Spiders have been climbing steadily in collector sentiment. Right-hand-drive fuel-injected examples in Rosso Corsa with documented kilometres in the 70,000 range are genuine finds. Vendor advises the engine bay is clean and well-maintained with fluid levels correct and no signs of leakage, and that the five-speed manual engages cleanly through all ratios. The market for comparable examples currently sits between $20,000 - $38,000, with the best-presented examples achieving more at specialist auction. This one, at 70,917km in an iconic colour, is well positioned.
