- Recent cosmetic restoration
- Gorgeous dark-green-over-tan colour scheme
Alfa Romeo's 2.0-litre inline four of the mid-1950s replaced its
older 1,900 cc unit and helped to bring the company back to
prosperity in the years following the Second World War. While the
engine first found its way into a four-door sedan, it also found a
home in Carrozzeria Touring's lovely spider, truly the darling of
Alfa Romeo's lineup.
Residing in Portugal since at least 1981, this lovely spider has
just recently completed a cosmetic restoration, including a repaint
in the present dark green metallic, along with a new tan leather
interior.
Roughly 3,400 spiders were built between 1958 and 1961. Their
twin-cam inline engines breathed a little better, thanks to a pair
of Solex side-draft carburetors that bumped power output to 113 hp.
A fully synchronized five-speed manual transmission sent power
rearward to a solid axle and drum brakes. Embodying la dolce vita
at its best, an Alfa Romeo Spider is a must-have in any
collection.
- Restauro cosm�tico recente
- Deslumbrante combina��o de verde escuro sobre pele
castanha
O motor de 2,0 litros e quatro cilindros em linha daAlfa Romeo
substituiu o mais antigo equivalente de 1,9 litros em meados dos
anos 50, ajudando a marca italiana a regressar � prosperidade no
per�odo que se seguiu � II Guerra Mundial. Apesar de ter,
inicialmente, sido utilizado numa berlina de quarto portas, tamb�m
acabou equipar tamb�m o Spider � a vers�o mais adorada da gama �
constru�do na Carrozzeria Touring.
Morando em Portugal desde, pelo menos, 1981, este fascinante Spider
acabou de receber uma interven��o cosm�tica, inclu�ndo a pintura no
atual verde escuro metalizado, e o bonito interior, forrado a pele
castanha clara.
Cerca de 3400 Spider foram constru�dos entre 1958 e 1961. Os seus
motores em linha com dupla �rvore de cames respiravam um pouco
melhor, gra�as a um par de carburadores horizontais Solex, que
subiram a pot�ncia para 113 cv. Uma caixa de cinco velocidades
sincronizadas enviava a pot�ncia para o eixo r�gido traseiro. Os
trav�es eram de tambor. Incorporando na perfei��o o esp�rito de la
dolce vita, um Alfa Romeo Spider � indispens�vel a qualquer
cole��o.To view this car and others currently consigned to this
