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.
Exterior and Interior
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.
Engine
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.
Owning an Alfa Romeo is an act of lust, self-sacrifice and pure aural pleasure. That’s because these Italian machines are full of character, quirky, and need the appropriate maintenance to perform at their best. Neglect an Alfa Romeo and everyone will be sad (car included). However, if you look after it the way it’s meant to be, and drive it with gusto, you’ll find it quickly becoming your happy place, your solitude space. Furthermore, if you select a car like this New York-based 1997 Alfa Romeo Spider 2.0 TS that’s done just 37,000 miles, you’ll also be in charge of a definitive future classic, and a potentially appreciating asset.

Unveiled as a concept at Expo 67 in Montreal before entering limited production in 1970, the Alfa Romeo Montreal remains one of the marque’s most celebrated grand touring cars. Showing just 12,954 miles, this 1971 example pairs its iconic Bertone-designed bodywork with a striking Arancio Pastello finish that highlights every curve and detail of the design. Further enhancing its appeal is a high-quality repaint completed in the car’s original color. Combining exotic styling, racing-derived engineering, and rarity, the Montreal occupies a unique place in Alfa Romeo history as one of the few production cars to feature a V8 derived from the legendary Tipo 33 competition program.
