To own an Alfa Romeo is to be the custodian of a little slice of heaven. Talk to any passionate petrolhead, and they’ll hold a special place in their hearts for Italian cars; Alfa Romeo will indeed rank high on their list. The brand is well-known for a string of Greatest Hits that stretches back into the '60s, and even earlier. Let’s look at something a bit more contemporary, which is ideal for the classic car collector who wants a definitive future classic, but something that’s still a bit modern, and can be driven with gusto. Presenting this lustrous 1997 Alfa Romeo Spider with 37,000 miles on the clock, and having received some key new components that will help keep it purring for years more to come.
This 1997 Alfa Romeo Spider wears a gorgeous red paint job that the current owner reports to be a June 2024 job. That’s why the car looks so breathtaking, paired with its daring design that is the work of Enrico Fumia at renowned Italian design house Pininfarina. When something’s been designed by Pininfarina, you know that it’s pure passion. We’re told that the car has received a new wind deflector and new windshield wipers, plus a new black convertible top. That’s right, it’s a drop-top, which makes the act of driving this car and listening to that glorious engine note even more alluring. Beautifully contrasting with the car’s red suit is a set of new gold powder coated alloy wheels, which wear reportedly new tires. But enough about the exterior, let’s get inside this Bella Macchina. The interior of this 1997 Alfa Romeo Spider is a two-seat affair, because let’s face it, you want to drive this car alone, or with a like-minded friend or family member. You’ve got leather-upholstered seats with the Alfa Romeo crest in the headrests, a four-spoke steering wheel, three pedals, and a gear shifter. You’ll also get air conditioning and an Alpine aftermarket Bluetooth-capable head unit that also provides USB and AUX inputs.
This 1997 Alfa Romeo Spider comes with a 2.0L Twin Spark 4-cylinder water-cooled engine under the hood that’s an absolute delight to drive. The engine was factory rated for 148hp, and drives the front wheels through a 5-speed manual gearbox. The current owner reports a recent tune-up, as well as a new timing belt, a new water pump, and new rear shocks.

When one hears the words Alfa Romeo Spider, it’s not unlikely that the Dustin Hoffman film of the Sixties called The Graduate springs to mind. This was where the Alfa Romeo Spider showcased its beauty to the wider world in what better place than the silver screen. Yes, that was a Series 1 Spider. But the Spider endured on for decades, until 1993, across four series. Today, we have a Series 3 1989 Alfa Romeo Spider Graduate for sale from Orange, California. Yes, it’s in Graduate trim, as a homage to the epic status of its forefather. This car has done over 84,000 miles and comes with authentic Panasport wheels as well as a Nardi steering wheel. It’s got that soulful Twin Cam under the hood, and a manual transmission too. Driving nirvana, we say, and at a rather affordable price for a classic car. People may say that Alfa Romeos are unreliable, but in reality, they’re just a little high-strung; with the right care and attention, they’ll show you the time of your life. This car is no different.

Alfa Romeo has always been known as the playful and passionate Italian automaker who manages to make everyday cars exciting to drive. They’ve been doing this for decades, after all.

The car has just 52,000 miles under its belt.
If you’re up for a thrilling driving experience, this Silver Spectraflare 2000 TVR Tuscan Speed Six from Texas is the perfect candidate. You see, TVRs are British sports cars that are well-known for eschewing pesky driver aids such as traction and stability control. They pack potent engines into suitably lightweight bodies, give them some distinctive styling and send you off in a chorus of engine noise, punctuated only by your joyful chuckling. Today’s example comes with 54,469 miles on the clock, a removable roof panel in targa top style, and a manual gearbox. It’s from the Tuscan Speed Six line-up which was made between 1999 and 2006. And if you want to know how exclusive this club is, only 1,677 were produced! Future classic? Definitely!
