Alfa Spider 1984 on The Market SOLD

The owner bought this left-hand-drive example six years ago with the intention of slowly renovating it before exporting it to his holiday home in Europe. With future reliability and usability in mind, he spared no expense in restoring it to the condition you see here today.

However, his plans have now changed and he has decided to sell to enable someone else to enjoy the vehicle. That the new owner will almost certainly be able to take advantage of the fact that the car’s reserve price is considerably lower than the restoration costs alone is something he is trying not to think about…

The bodywork has been the subject of a full restoration at Veloces of London Ltd, the renowned Alfa Romeo specialists. The work was as comprehensive as you would expect, and included extensive welding – including a new boot floor – at a cost of more than £1, 500, followed by a full respray that set the owner back almost £5, 000. The finish is superb and bears even the closest scrutiny, although it’s disappointing to see that there is a crack in the paint on the leading edge of the bonnet, and a couple of rust bubbles on the nearside sill and one wheelarch. That said, rectification would be a simple matter and shouldn’t cost more than a few hundred pounds.

The car also benefits from a new mohair hood and windscreen, plus a genuine replacement centre rear spoiler sourced at great expense from the USA. Sadly, the two outer rubber sections of the spoiler have shrunk over the years, leading to the mismatch in height you can see in the photographs!

The Spider sits on newly refurbished wheels shod with good Michelin tyres.

The interior is easily the nicest we’ve ever seen on an eighties Spider, being almost factory fresh. In fact, forget that; this is way, way better than anything that ever came out of the Alfa Romeo factory in the eighties.

It has been fully retrimmed in butter-soft black nappa leather, finished with white piping. The work has been done to an extraordinarily high standard, as might be gauged by the fact that the chosen black carpet is more usually used in high-end Porsche models. The dashboard was also refurbished and the cowl retextured before being painstakingly reassembled. The whole job cost him around £2, 850 but was, we think, worth every single penny.
