Romeos have a certain quality and a certain excitement about them
that can be difficult to explain, but once you get behind the wheel
it all becomes clear. Lively handling, jewel-like twin-cam engines
and bodies designed by the greatest Italian Carrozzeria all add up
to create cars that are unmatched for sheer driving joy. This
gorgeous high-quality example is certain to please any Alfa Romeo
enthusiast -- or anyone who is simply looking to get in on the Alfa
cult -- and experience why these are considered among the finest
driver's cars of all time. This is a superb example of an early
Spider Duetto that drives effortlessly, oozes style and would be a
pleasure to own.Widely regarded as a design classic, the Alfa Romeo
Spider (105/115 series) was produced by the Italian manufacturer
from 1966 to 1993. With production spanning three decades and only
incurring minor aesthetic and mechanical changes in that period,
the car forever immortalized by Dustin Hoffman in The Graduate
stands as a true credit to those first cars assembled by
Pininfarina.The Duetto spider was based on the highly successful
105-series chassis that served as the basis of the Giulia and
Giulietta coupes and sedans but with completely different styling.
The Duetto took all that was great about the Giulia coupe and
boiled it down to the bare essentials of a two seat open top sports
car. While fairly conventional the chassis was very well sorted
thanks to the well-located rear axle and independent front
suspension. The Duetto was built on a strong unibody platform and
came standard with disc brakes, a sweet-shifting 5-speed manual
transmission, and the famous twin-cam engine.The beautiful bodywork
was penned at Pininfarina and represented a drastic departure from
the Bertone-bodied coupes and sedans. The Duetto was the last
project that the company's founder Battista "Pinin" Farina had a
personal hand in. The beautiful design is characterized by minimal
chrome distinctly sculptured body sides and that signature tapering
rounded tail. This is the original expression of the long-running
Alfa Spider and is considered by many to be the purest and most
desirable of all models in the 27-year production run. This 1967
example is from the second year of Duetto production and features
the famous twin-cam engine with dual side-draught weber
carburetors.Crisp white paintwork is in excellent condition and the
color suits the Pininfarina body brilliantly. Panel fit is
excellent and the minimal brightwork is in very good condition all
around. This is an extremely nice and very well presented Duetto
and a fantastic driver. Engine bay detailing is very nice with the
correct air filter still in place -- a rare find. The underhood
accessories are correctly finished and the engine bay as a whole is
tidy and extremely well presented. The engine runs strong emitting
an intoxicating throaty soundtrack -- sucking air in through the
big Webers and emitting an addictive exhaust note out the back.
These engines beg to be revved and it is truly one of the great
small engines of all time.The burgundy interior is tidy and
presents extremely well. Seats and door panels have been redone and
new carpeting has been fitted, as well as a new black soft top. The
original steering wheel and instruments are in excellent condition
and the view from behind the wheel is refreshingly clean and
simple. The painted dash is simple and clean with auxiliary
instruments angled toward the driver, a thin rim three spoke wheel
and the 5-speed gearshift that falls easily to hand. An Alfa Duetto
is about the pure simple joy of driving. Enjoying the telepathic
steering feel and happily rowing through the gears to keep the
jewel of an engine on the boil.For more information on this 1967
