Description
The Series 3 Spider debuted in North America for the 1982 model year with the introduction of 2. 0 litre Bosch electronic fuel injection. The interior received a new center console, lower dash panels (to meet U. S. regulations) and a single monopod gauge cluster (with electronic gauges). For the North American market a model marketed as the Graduate acknowledged the model's appearance in the 1967 film, The Graduate, starring Dustin Hoffman. The Graduate was intended as a less expensive entry-level model with the same engine and transmission as the Quadrifoglio and Veloce, but with steel wheels, manual windows, vinyl seats, and vinyl top. Air conditioning and a dealer-installed radio were the only options. The Graduate arrived in 1985 in North America and continued until 1990.
This Alfa Romeo Spider Graduate is probably the lowest mileage, most original example in the US.
