Produced between 1966 and 1993, the Spider had the longest lifespan of any Alfa Romeo model, yet, with just over 120.000 units sold, it very likely didn’t do much for the Company’s bottom line. #alfaromeo #history #pininfarina
Nevertheless, the Spider has perhaps been the Brand’s finest ambassador in the world’s markets, thanks to its various appearances in cinema and television and its unrivaled panache.
I’ve driven a few of these perennially seductive machines in my time, and I bet many of you too. But if you’ve ever wondered about their story, you’re definitely in the right place.
