Description:

Up for sale, is a beautiful example of a classic Italian Sports Car, the Alfa Romeo Spider. Pininfarina Body. Awesome shade of Red, really the only color for a car like this. This 1987 classic is in excellent condition, starts and runs like a charm. It's 2.0L still pulls hard and is great on gas. It can be placed on classic car insurance which will only cost you a few hundred per YEAR including collision! It is exempt from emissions testing. This convertible is really one of the best you can find of this particular vehicle. No cracks in the dash. Treated with Krown rust control yearly. There is absoluetly no rust or rot anywhere on this car, quite a rare example. It has been taken care of all it's life. Looks as if it has been restored when you first glance at this car! Never driven anywhere near winter months, and is kept in an enclosed garage. Only 92, 149 original KMs! (57, 250 miles!) I've personally owned this car for 13 years. The previous gentlemen, a friend of my fathers, for more than 12 years. Hate to let it go, but it's not receiving the attention it needs in my growing fleet of cars. This year alone I've only put approx. 600kms on it and it was the same last year. I want someone else to enjoy it. I'm not in desperate need to sell, this is not your numerous problem everyday project $5, 000 Spider. This car is worth more than others especially with it's current condition, mileage and all the work that's been done. Look elsewhere if you're looking for a neat looking 'beater', this isn't it. This car is really worth it. Amazing the amount of head turns you'll get. Fun to drive! Could even be a daily driver. This is the next up and coming european classic car.
There has been numerous maintenance and upgrades done to this car since I've purchased it. I have dated records of all the work I've done. Noticeable ones are as follows.
BWA modern fiver star wheels were added. Yokohama AVS ES100 tires have been installed. The stock original wheels with tires mounted are also still available if wanted. An example of their style is featured in one of the last posted photo. That is not an actual photo of them, they are in storage (too lazy). A new Pioneer CD MP3 player deck was installed including front Pioneer speakers and rear Kenwoods. An aftermarket alarm system that I did not install was removed. Never mess with a classic in that way, especially a Brit or Italian's wiring. New Cat Converter and Mufflers replaced. New Oxygen Sensor. New Speedometer Sender. New Rear Driver Side Suspension Bushing. Repaired pesky wiring issues. Seats professionally reupholestered with durable black leather. New Battery (2016). New Slave Cylinder. New Ignition Coil. New Hand Rolled Sun-Fast Black on Black padded quarters Convertible Top. New Water Pump. Repaired Vacuum leak, Replace Cap/Rotor, 2 new fuel lines, 2 new fuel pumps, New SPI Aux Valve. New Clutch Master Cylinder. New Altitude Sensor. Radiator Repaired by weld and painted new tube. New plugs and plug wires. New Fuses.
The only real issue with this car I can think of are as follow. Mind you this car is nearly 3 decades old. The windshield passenger side towards the bottom has a little fogging approx an inch wide which you should be able to see in the pictures. It is an original windshield. The upholestering in the trunk looks new but the connections are starting to wear, not a real issue but something to mention. Slight abrasion on shifter leather boot, and a little piece of the carpet near the passenger side could be glued down firmer near the upper part of the door as seen in picture. I might even due that prior to sale actually. Any tiny paint chips over the years have been filled in immediatly with touch up paint. The speedometer is malfunctioning and inaccurate.
On a side note, the side photo featuring the Pininfarina badge there are black marks towards the bottom of the car. Apparently there was some dirt/oil of some sort that I missed at time of photography. Those are not dings or scratches. Also, some reason wouldn't upload the pic of the engine bay. Nothing particular to see, just figured some people like seeing the casting of Alfa Romeo on the engine. Looks like a normal Alfa Romeo Spider, nothing mutilated.
Please feel free to ask any questions, I'd be more than happy to help. I am not responsible for shipping costs but will help with arrangements if needed. Located in Toronto, Canada. $250 deposit within 48 hours. Payment in full within 7 days.
