When the 2600 Spider was launched at the 1962 Geneva Motor Show featuring Carrozzeria Touring coachwork, it was immediately recognized as the new star in the Alfa Romeo stable. The coachbuilt Alfa Romeo featured an all-alloy 2.6-liter, three-carb engine coupled with a smooth-shifting five-speed gearbox, providing the elegant open Spider with plenty of power for effortless, long-distance touring. As the last of a long line of twin-cam, six-cylinder offerings, the 2600 Spider also became historically significant when production ceased in 1968, and has since become a collector’s item among Alfisti. This gorgeous example benefits from a recent restoration.

In 2017, the previous owner sent the Spider to Alfa Performance Connection, a respected marque specialist based in Orange, California, for a restoration to a high overall standard. In the course of the work, the 2600 received new metallic gray paint, new chrome, new soft top canvas, and a fresh interior – including door panels, dash top, carpet, and seats – trimmed in Oxblood Red, which serves as a wonderful contrast to the subdued exterior. In current ownership, the 2600 has been maintained as a favored member of a private collection and has received mechanical attention including rebuilding the gearbox and Solex carburetors, and servicing its Veglia gauges. The 2600 Spider is surely one of the most appealing open GT cars of its era. This well-restored and very smart-looking example is a prime candidate for any number of motoring events and could serve as a fun weekend runabout.
