1996 ALFA ROMEO SPIDER 2.0L TWIN SPARK

KEY FACTS

• An eminently usable example of the stylish Italian roadster, with the popular Rosso finish and which presents very well for its age and mileage.
• It is powered by the 148bhp 2.0-litre 16-valve ‘Twin Spark’ inline-four, coupled to the five-speed manual gearbox.
• An excellent history file is also present.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• This Spider was specified with Rosso paintwork, and with the interior upholstery in black vinyl for the seat backs and sides with durable black fabric for the seat facings. The seats also have the Alfa Romeo logo stitched into the backrests.
• Factory equipment includes electric windows, driver and passenger airbags, and the Alfa Romeo-branded radio cassette head unit. There is also a space-saver spare wheel in the boot.
• Its original owner’s manuals, service book and sales documents will be included inside a very large history file.

CONDITION

• There is a small dent and some surrounding scratches on the nearside rear wheel arch, but overall the bodywork presents very well.
• Its Rosso paintwork is believed to be entirely original, and has a few small scratches and stone chips on the front end. A few blemishes can also be seen on the black sills and wing mirror caps.
• The vendor has noted some small scuffs in the fabric upholstery, and minor staining, commensurate with the mileage.
• Some light scratches are visible on the dashboard, centre console, and door card plastics, though there is no significant damage.
• No electrical faults have been detected.
• Its most recent MOT test was on 11 May 2021 at 142,456 miles, which was a clean pass with no advisories or defects.

SERVICE HISTORY

• The cambelt was replaced as part of a full service in June 2021.
• An extensive history file is supplied with the car, and it has been kept in good running order.
