FRENCH TITLE
Presented in Geneva in February 1966 under the name Spider Duetto, the small Alfa Romeo roadster was based on a Giulia 105 platform. It was the successor to the legendary Spider Giulietta which had been launched in 1955. Behind this almost timeless design is a great Italian name: Battista Pininfarina, the designer. Alfa Romeo engines have always been synonymous with sportiness and driving pleasure. It was launched with a four-cylinder 1570 cc engine with four overhead camshafts and 109 bhp, then in 1971 the Spider became 2000 Veloce and adopted a new, more powerful, all-aluminium 1962 cc long-stroke engine developing 128 bhp in carburettor version. The Alfa Romeo Spider Duetto presented in 1966 had an exceptionally long career, remaining the only representative of the Giulia series for over 15 years. In addition to its playful character and melodious sound, the Alfa Romeo double shaft has the advantage of being powerful and very solid, provided that the warm-up time is respected.
Our ""Coda Tronca"" (short version) is presented with a beautiful red paintwork, well tended and without oxidation, the black skai upholstery is in good general condition and the black canvas top is new. The chrome and exterior trim are also very well preserved.
Our test drive demonstrated that the Twin Cam Bialbero 4-cylinder engine and the manual gearbox are working well. This car will be handed over to the buyer with a good history, as many invoices and technical checks have been carried out recently. Whatever the time of year, one never misses the pleasure of driving a cabriolet, especially when it is an Alfa Romeo."
