2007 Alfa Romeo Spider

Highlights

• High-spec original press car
• Q4 all-wheel drive
• 3.2-litre V6
• Six-speed manual gearbox
• Recently serviced including a new MOT with no advisories

Overview

If you haven’t yet fulfilled your need to own an Alfa at some point in your life, then here we have an excellent choice: a Spider with a 3.2-litre V6, a manual gearbox and all-wheel drive. And it even features a soft top which will fold itself away at the touch of a button, so you can enjoy some sunny summer sojourns.

The V6 is characterful and powerful enough to enjoy, particularly when mated to the six-speed manual gearbox.

This particular car was delivered new to Alfa Romeo GB’s press office, so was specced to impress the visiting auto journalists. Its leather upholstery is deeply fluted, and there are plenty of interior options.

It is finished in the attractive shade of Misano Blue, a shade which complements the car’s sharp styling. It remains in a good state of preservation, with very few signs of wear throughout.

So if you’re looking for a two-seater roadster with a powerful V6 under the bonnet, and the kind of grip and handling you can only get with all-wheel drive, then this Spider ticks a lot of boxes.
