The 1982 model was a very unique and rare year for the Alfa Romeo Spider. It was an overlap year that became highly sought after; the last of the old Series 2 body style, regarded as more sleek and appealing than its predecessor. Yet it also carries the much more reliable Bosch electronic fuel injection found in the Series 3. Previous Series 2 models used SPICA mechanical injection which was troublesome, yet the Series 3 had many style changes that to some degree lost the classic appeal of the car. The Series 2 is the best of both worlds, the vintage body style and the modern electronic fuel injection. Being the old body style the chrome bumpers from the 70's are a direct swap on.
Designed by Pininfarina, (Ferrari, Maserati, etc) assembled in Grugliasco in the Province of Turin, Italy the Spider carries a distinct aesthetic, something that has fallen to the wayside in modern automobiles. The car runs and drives smoothly, a few weekends ago I took it on a ~300 mile round trip to Watkins Glen to spectate the vintage race weekend. The paint is in fine shape, the car has received regular maintenance, and all accessory functions work. Recent maintenance items include 4 tires, 12v battery, Koni adjustable rear shocks, giubo, (flex disc from transmission to driveshaft) transmission oil just changed with Redline 75w90ns, diff oil checked/topped off, spark plugs replaced with NGK Iridium IX. Convertible top and rear window are in very nice shape.
It has the desirable Campagnolo aluminum 14 wheels, and even still has the Alfa valve stem caps.
In terms of issues, there is a crack in the windshield along the antenna (tough to see because of antenna, reasoning why i never replaced it) small exhaust leak, I would assume it will need a clutch in the future, though it drives fine now. It does have a hiccup on occasion, if I keep it I will pull the fuel injectors over winter and have them cleaned and flow matched. I planned on using this service here Spare tire is not present, but factory jack is. Otherwise it is a very clean and nice example, I'm very sad to part with it.
My only reason for sale is that I'm spread too thin at the moment, I have a number of other projects needing my attention (and money sadly). I have a 1998 BMW M3 that needs its cylinder head rebuild, and a 1973 Datsun 240z undergoing a full restoration. Will consider trades of e30 BMW M3, could include my 98 M3 in said trade.
The car will come with some receipts for recent maintenance items, a color vehicle wiring diagram, the cover for the convertible top when it's folded down, and Alfa Romeo leather key fob heh.
As a part of my job I am a vehicle shipment dispatcher. If you're interested in shipping the car, I will give you shipping at my cost. E-mail me PRIOR to the auction's close with your address for a shipping quote.
