HIGHLIGHTS
- Desirable 2000 Veloce model
- 2.0 litre twin cam
- Very well presented
THE APPEAL
Styled by the well-known Pininfarina design studio, the Alfa Romeo Spider S2 was launched in 1970 to embark on what would become a 12-year production run. The S2 came with a choice of engines ranging from the 1.3 litre twin cam to this particular model, and the most powerful, 2.0 litre twin cam.
Being a 1977 model, the Alfa benefits from being classed as a “two plus two” with the additional seat fitted as standard from 1974. The car is in lovely condition inside and out thanks to a full respray in the original colour of Alfa Rosso Red.
The interior is lovely, oozing with Italian charm, which can transport you back to 1977 in a flash. After an 11-year ownership, the car is now ready to be enjoyed by another enthusiastic Alfa Romeo owner. Will it be you?
