*Restored 2009/2010
*Some history
Low-key elegance was the philosophy of Alfa Romeo's 2600 Spider, and while large its subtlety made it popular way beyond its domestic market. This 1964 example was owned by Paul Mann, a friend of Dr Stephen Ward who was involved in the establishment-rocking Profumo scandal. Paul gave the car to his daughter on her 21st birthday. The passing years took their toll on the Alfa and 10 years ago it was restored. Today it presents well, with good-quality paint and panel fit and a well-fitting hood and a good interior. The engine bay presents well.
Restored 10 years ago and presenting well, this 2600 Spider comes with an interesting early history.
