Alfa Spider gets last gasp make-over

Final tweaks before oldster shuffles off mortal coil


In an end-of-life gasp, Alfa has tweaked its Spider, the antediluvian -- but still fun -- roadster. The final edition of Alfa Romeo’s classic  is now available, says Alfa, in "three striking exterior colours, featuring unique 17 inch spoked alloy wheels teamed with black leather trim."

The special version Alfa Spiders are available in Alfa Red, Lightning Blue and Light Grey metallic external colours with a choice of 2.0 JTS and the powerful 3.2 V6 24v engines under the bonnet. The final edition of just 80 remaining examples of this classic car boasts all the features of the Lusso specification, including electric roof, leather steering wheel, heated electric door mirrors and automatic climate control.

Priced at £23,510 for the 165 bhp 2.0 JTS and £28,300 for the 240 bhp 3.2 V6 24v, the Alfa Spider, designed by Centro Stile Alfa Romeo in collaboration with Pininfarina, has enjoyed great success since its introduction to the UK in 1996 and is the last in a line of Spiders stretching back over 50 years.
