The private seller offers for sale this 1960 Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider Touring, powered by a 1975 cc four-cylinder petrol engine, paired with a manual transmission. The 2000 Spider was introduced at the end of the 1950s as the open sports car of Alfa Romeo’s larger 2000 range. Its elegant bodywork was designed and built by Carrozzeria Touring of Milan using the Superleggera method, and it combines gently rounded wings, a prominent Alfa Romeo shield grille and a long, low profile with the character of an Italian grand tourer. The twin-cam inline-four engine, with its light-alloy head, was developed in the Alfa Romeo tradition of spirited yet refined engines, and the car was built in modest numbers, which makes it a rarity today.
This example was imported from California and, according to the seller, renovated in 2009 by Bata Classics, a Hungarian workshop with some 30 years of experience with classic cars. Since then the seller reports it has been carefully kept and only gently driven. The seller states that the car retains its matching numbers and authentic parts. The metallic blue paint is paired with a cream interior, chrome wheel centres and a cream soft top, giving the car a distinctly period look.
With its open cockpit, large steering wheel, classic instrument cluster and attractive proportions, this 2000 Spider Touring offers the sort of motoring that Italian grand touring cars of the era are loved for. It is a compelling opportunity for collectors of early Alfa Romeo sports cars.
