THE ALFA ROMEO DUETTO SPIDER
Late in 1962, Alfa Romeo debuted the Giulietta's ostensible replacement - the Giulia. The power unit was the 1.6-liter, 109bhp version of Alfa Romeo's classic double-overhead-camshaft four as installed in the Giulia Sprint GTV. Performance fully matched the Duetto's stunning looks, with 60mph reachable in around 11 seconds and a top speed of 116mph.
A new Spider was launched in 1966. Designed by Pininfarina and penned by the founder himself, Battista "Pinin" Farina, it featured a rounded tail and emulated the famous 1952-53 "Disco Volante" race cars. At launch it had no specific name, but a company contest soon selected the name "Duetto." Pininfarina also manufactured the monocoque body, which was powered by the 1570 Giulia engine. The model gained its greatest fame by being cast in the 1967 Dustin Hoffman film The Graduate. So faithful was it's following that Alfa appended this name to the Series II North American version.
THE CAR OFFERED
This left-hand drive example of Alfa Romeo's classic Duetto Spider is believed to have been originally delivered to the U.S. market and has been enjoyed in New England for well over a decade by its enthusiast owner. This Spider presents nicely throughout and has been well maintained for repeated enjoyment, a nice example of a good driver quality Spider. The car did receive a repaint in Pininfarina White during its current ownership, the contrasting black interior presents well and in tidy condition, as is all brightwork. The black convertible top also appears to be in very good condition, although best enjoyed with the top down of course. The engine is reported to run well and has been regularly exercised by its owner.
This Spider is accompanied by an extra set of wheels and caps, besides the current sporty 4-spoke alloy wheels fitted to the vehicle. It will also come with an Alfa Romeo instruction book, many receipts, tool kit, jack and some extra miscellaneous parts. As the Alfa brand revitalizes itself in the U.S., here is an exceptional drivers example of the car that helped create its following.
