One owner (yep, a lady), 107K original miles, purrs like a kitten, solid w/no rust whatsoever...had rear end issues which we've solved...now it needs new top (will be installed in August when I get home) & interior work!

I've always wanted one of these!

Really fun cars, although if you're over 6 feet, it's almost impossible to fit. (I once got trapped in one of the very late production Spiders in a showroom with my knee blocking the door handle.)

I love the handling, the angled shifter, and the way Alfa gauges just scream "sports car." The engine sounds great too, provided it isn't about to blow-up!
 
Congratulations! These are great little cars, sweet twin-can engine, good handing, and a well-designed, easy to operate soft top. Watch the dreaded tin worm, otherwise, bellissima!!!
 
That is a cool little car, I'm sure you're gonna have fun with it. I've found myself cruising the Alfa section on Ebay from time to time for some strange reason. I'd love it if a boat tail version of that little car somehow found it's way to my garage some day.
 
& now I have my eyes on a Lancia Scorpion....had a Lancia HPE years ago & loved it....man, what am I thinking?
 
I owned a 88 Spider Veloce for several years and it was one of my favorite cars. I'm 6'-4" and fit tight but it was OK. I drove it 1000 miles in 2 days from Wisconsin to Florida without major discomfort. Lots of performance parts are available. Enjoy!!

Talked w/my mechanic today...they're going through everything to make sure its perfect...they only found 1 bad rear shock & some AC problems...all of which will be finished when I get home in a few days! He said he's been test driving it &, in his words, "that little car is more fun than a Corvette!"
