1991 ALFA ROMEO SPIDER

This Alfa Romeo Spider 2.0 Twin Spark was first registered in Padua, Italy in 1991 before later spending time in Rome, reportedly for a short period with ownership connected to the De Lannoy family, prior to being imported into the UK in October 2001. Importantly, the car still retains its original left-hand-drive configuration, unlike many UK-market examples that were converted when new. Finished in Rosso Red with the classic Pininfarina styling, this Series 4 Spider presents beautifully and has clearly benefitted from long-term enthusiast ownership throughout its life. The history file accompanying the car is extensive, containing invoices, photographic records and documentation showing years of maintenance, recommissioning and sympathetic improvement work carried out by Alfa Romeo enthusiasts and specialists. Documented work over the years includes repainting, replacement hood, gearbox removal and rebuild work, Quaife synchromesh upgrades, clutch replacement, suspension improvements, water pump and timing belt replacement, underside protection, interior refurbishment and numerous other mechanical and cosmetic improvements. The photographic history is particularly impressive, showing restoration and maintenance work in progress rather than simply invoices alone. The odometer currently displays 120,121 kilometres, equivalent to approximately 74,600 miles. For the last four years the Spider has been kept in dry storage, only used occasionally for Alfa Romeo events, classic car shows and fair-weather drives. The car has been carefully preserved during this period and remains a wonderfully usable classic Alfa Romeo that still delivers the analogue driving character these cars are now loved for. Ahead of sale, the car is now booked in with renowned Alfa Romeo specialists Bonello Auto Services in Newcastle for recommissioning, where it will undergo a full service, MOT and comprehensive mechanical inspection ready for its next custodian. A rare opportunity to acquire an increasingly sought-after Alfa Romeo Spider Series 4 with genuine provenance, extensive histor
