This Duetto is certainly one of the best of its kind, a high-quality example and certain to satisfy both the Alfa enthusiast and those seeking to enjoy a reliable 1960's sports car experience. The Duetto is considered among the finest driver's cars of all time, known for their lively handling and spritely revving twin-cam engines. This Duetto comes complete with service history file, Jack, Spare wheel, Top boot and is sure to please.
