The seller offers for sale this 1974 Alfa Romeo Spider 2.0 Coda Tronca, a cabriolet with extensive maintenance history confirming the original mileage. The car was regularly driven and serviced, with a major overhaul carried out in 2021 that included significant suspension work. Around 20 years ago, it sustained damage to the left front, which was professionally repaired, and the car was fully repainted. Today, the paint remains in good order, though a small 6 cm rust spot is visible near the left door sill. The interior retains its original upholstery and wooden Alfa steering wheel, showing only light wear consistent with age. Mechanically, the engine runs smoothly and starts without hesitation, while the gearbox shifts somewhat stiffly as typical for Alfa models of this era, yet operates reliably. The soft top is in good condition, and the car drives and steers as expected. Dutch registration documents are included, and the car is ready for enjoyment.
The Alfa Romeo Spider has long been admired as one of the most stylish Italian convertibles of the 20th century. Introduced in the mid-1960s and designed by Pininfarina, the Spider became a symbol of Italian motoring elegance, especially in its second series “Coda Tronca” form with its distinctive Kamm-tail rear design. Powered by Alfa’s renowned twin-cam engines, it offered spirited performance, agile handling, and open-air driving pleasure. The Spider earned international fame, notably through its appearance in films such as “The Graduate,” and developed a loyal following among enthusiasts worldwide. Today, the Coda Tronca variant is particularly valued for its balance of classic design, usability, and historical importance within Alfa Romeo’s heritage.
