Stunning Alfa Convertible
ALFA ROMEO SPIDER
Convertible 2.0 Graduate (1997)
With us at RFH Classics, we have this legendary 1997 Alfa Romeo Spider 2.0 Graduate in Ivory and complemented by a contrasting two-tone interior. This car represents an iconic legacy of Italian motoring and traces its design roots to the legendary Duetto of the 1960s, immortalized in films like The Graduate. Designed by the renowned Italian stylist Pininfarina, the Spider features timeless lines making it one of the most iconic roadsters of all time with the film, The Graduate with Dustin Hoffman, paying homage to this legacy. The Alfa Romeo Spider epitomizes style, passion and performance backed by Alfa Romeo’s rich racing and design heritage. Its elegant Cream paintwork is perfectly offset by the fabric folding roof, creating a convertible that looks equally stunning with the roof up or down.
Step into the cockpit of this Italian icon and you are met with a stylish, driver-focused space featuring a stunning Luisi wood and polished metal steering wheel. I had the pleasure of driving this car back to the showroom after purchasing it and it’s a truly wonderful driving experience. The two-tone seats are remarkably comfortable and the well-designed dashboard ensures all controls are conveniently positioned making driving this car an absolute pleasure.
The fabric folding roof is incredibly easy to operate and neatly folds behind the seats while still allowing a surprising amount of storage space and once folded the roof is protected by a cover that easily clips into place. Unlike many convertibles, this Spider also boasts a large boot area, more than adequate for a weekend away's luggage. Discreetly located behind a drop-down panel in the boot is the original Alfa Romeo tool roll and jack with the full-size spare wheel tucked under the boot carpet.
Under the sleek bonnet lies the 2.0-litre Twin Cam Alfa four-cylinder engine, adorned with distinctive red Alfa detailing. Running on unleaded fuel, the engine maintains excellent oil pressure, both hot and cold. Power is smoothly delivered to the rear wheels via a manual five-speed gearbox and accompanied by a wonderful exhaust note. The car is in exceptional condition, with paintwork showing no signs of rust and the underside is equally clean and solid. Whether cruising along coastal roads or turning heads in town, this Spider offers a unique blend of classic charm and modern usability. Its lightweight design, precise handling, and responsive engine make it a joy to drive, while its pedigree ensures it will remain a coveted future classic.
