If anyone is wondering what to get the PH office for Christmas this should do the trick – the Alfa 8C Spider.
Anyone who was disappointed they missed out on the coupe 8C Competizione, which sold out in weeks, you may have a chance to bag one of these.
To be honest it is unlikely though, there are only 500 being made and those are expected to sell out in days.
The Spider has the same 450bhp 4.7 litre V8 as in the 8C coupe, which is channelled through a sophisticated 6-speed F1-style paddle-shift gearbox to the rear wheels.
Inside the carbon fibre cockpit a dashboard-mounted button operates the double-layered roof.
The roof can also be personalised in various colours to suit the body colour of the vehicle.
We’re not fussy – any colour will do…
