The seller offers for sale this 1967 Alfa Romeo Duetto, an iconic Italian cabriolet with elegant lines and a spirited driving experience. Equipped with a 1600cc four-cylinder petrol engine and a manual transmission, this Duetto offers the charm of a true driver’s car from Alfa Romeo’s golden era. The car features disc brakes for improved safety and performance, a desirable upgrade while retaining its period-correct character.
The Duetto’s bodywork has been restored in the past, including the engine and other mechanical elements. While the exact timing of the restoration is unclear, photographic documentation suggests that it may have occurred in the early 1980s. The restoration included a repaint and mechanical rework. The vehicle has been well preserved since.
This Alfa Romeo is in good overall condition. The paint is well-maintained with no major cosmetic corrections required, and the seller notes a high-quality finish throughout. The body panels appear straight, and the car presents as an honest and attractive classic. The interior, finished in a clean and tidy condition, shows minimal wear.
Technically, the vehicle is reported to be in good working order with disc brakes added, it benefits from enhanced stopping power while maintaining its classic feel.
The Alfa Romeo Duetto—formally known as the Spider 1600—debuted in 1966 and quickly became a symbol of Italian automotive design. Styled by Pininfarina with a distinctive rounded “boat tail” rear end, the Duetto combined visual flair with a lively engine and fine handling. The 1.6L engine, derived from Alfa’s proven twin-cam design, offered smooth power delivery and strong performance for the lightweight convertible. Its launch was famously supported by a marketing boost from the 1967 film The Graduate, in which Dustin Hoffman’s character drove a red Duetto.
As the last model personally overseen by Battista Pininfarina, the Duetto holds a special place in design history. It remained in production with evolving bodywork and mechanical upgrades through multiple generations until 1994. The early “boat tail” models like this 1967 example are the most visually distinct and increasingly collectable. While the original Duetto was not a high-volume production car, it embodied Alfa Romeo’s commitment to stylish, enthusiast-oriented vehicles.
Today, the Duetto is celebrated for its clean lines, light handling, and open-air driving appeal. Whether for weekend drives, classic car gatherings, or simply admiring a slice of automotive art, this Alfa Romeo Duetto offers a rewarding and stylish experience for collectors and drivers alike.
