This is an icon. A classic with a story, a face, and—more importantly—a heartbeat. Because at the end of the day, it’s still an Alfa Romeo. It shot to fame in 1967, thanks to Dustin Hoffman in The Graduate, and it’s never really left the stage since. What you’re looking at here is a Series 3 Spider, also known as the Aerodinamica. It’s the most refined evolution of the classic Spider formula. And this particular example? It’s been genuinely well preserved. Delivered in 1990, though assembled in October 1989, so it’s from the later production run. And you can feel that in every detail: polished, well-built, but still full of that playful Alfa character you expect. And what a sight: finished in Rosso Alfa, that deep, fiery red only the Italians seem to master, paired with a black leather interior stitched in red. A beautiful combination, right? The seats not only look fantastic, they’re incredibly comfortable. The carpeting is high-quality, the finish is solid, and the overall atmosphere strikes just the right balance: sporty, yet warm. On the outside, this Spider is in fantastic condition. The paint is well maintained, the bodywork is clean and tight, the wheels are sharp, and the bumpers are fresh. That same level of care continues beneath the surface. It’s been properly maintained by specialists, and you feel it the moment you turn the key and drive off. Under the hood is a 2.0-liter twin-cam four-cylinder putting out about 126 horsepower. That might not sound like a lot on paper, but don’t forget: this car is light, nimble, and above all, alive. Paired with a smooth five-speed gearbox and rear-wheel drive, it delivers exactly what you want from a classic Italian sports car: an engaging, agile, and spirited driving experience. It’s all about the connection. The Series 3, by the way, is the longest-running generation of the Spider, and that says a lot about its popularity. The black rubber bumpers were introduced to meet US regulations, but let’s be honest—they suit this car. They give it a tougher, more confident look. Good examples like this are becoming increasingly rare. The supply is thinning out. So if you’ve been dreaming of a classic Alfa convertible, something with charm, personality, and an open roof, this could be your moment. Charming, elegant, and a joy to drive.
