Description
| The first of these beautiful 105 series Kamm tail 2000 Spider convertibles (or roadsters if you prefer) was introduced in 1970/1 and continued in production until 1978 when the series 3 was introduced. See www.vintage-classics.co.uk for hire details of thi ssurperb example. The series 3 lost the chrome and therefore some of the classic looks therefore it is the series 2 or its predecessor which are most coveted by today’s enthusiasts. When the Spider (Duetto) was first introduced there was a mixed reaction from the motoring press, however the 1967 film The Graduate starring Dustin Hoffman increased its popularity. |

Modifications
| The Alfa Romeo Spider, along with a lot of Alfa Romeo models is a car that a lot of people wanted to own but were reluctant to do so due to high depreciation and the dreaded rust. Those that took the plunge seldom regretted the decision as it is a lovely car to drive and admired, the Italians are certainly the masters when it comes to car styling. The model that Vintage Classics has to offer is a 1972 series 2 Spider often referred to as the Kamm Tail model due to the squared of rear end. Following a complete body restoration by Alfa Romeo specialist Benalfa Cars the Spider attracts many admiring looks as you drive along hood down with the fresh air blowing through your hair. |
