Alfa Romeo Spider Duetto Duetto Spider . 1966

General description : The Alfa Romeo Spider is the longest produced model in the world dating from 1966-1994. The model I am selling here has many names. Alfa Romeo 1600 Duetto is what we would call it in Scandinavia. In Italy, it would however be Ossi di Seppia. In America, it is most known as Alfa Romeo Roundtail Spider. The beautiful Pininfarina design has stood the test of time and I think it still looks amazing.

Exterior: The red paint has had a touch up over the years and still looks good. There is no rust or bubbles to be seen on the car but traces of use have accumulated here and there over the years. It is today a car to use and have fun with. The black soft top looks good and there is the original convertible cover.

Interior: The Alfa Romeo 1600 Duetto Spider has black leather on the seats and the rest of the car is in the original black vinyl. The Jaeger instruments are good and doing their job. In the trunk, the Alfa Romeo Spider has the original rubber carpet and underneath the spare wheel and original jack in their place.

Alfa Spider the longest produced model

Engine: In my opinion, the best thing with the Alfa Romeo 160 Duetto is the design. However, the second best thing is for sure the engine. Even with today’s standard, the 1600 Duetto feels remarkably happy and pulls through the revs. Considering the car is from 1966, I think the performance is staggering. Still the car is easy to operate, if you want to drive in to the city centre for a cappuccino. The raspy exhaust note will put a smile on any classic car enthusiast. The gearbox is a notorious Alfa problem and this one is just fine and shifts through the gears easily.

History: This is a very early Alfa Romeo 1600 Duetto Spider and in the Swedish papers it is year model 1966. The Spider was sold new here in Sweden and has been with the same owner since 1994. It comes with the original handbook and Technical Inspection documents collected over the years. In Sweden, the Alfa Romeo 1600 Duetto Spider does not have to go through Technical Control anymore.

About Alfa Romeo Spider Duetto
The Alfa Romeo Spider, specifically the Duetto model, holds a special place in automotive history and has transitioned from being a beloved hero car to a sought-after collector's car. Let's explore its journey:

Hero Car Status:
The Alfa Romeo Spider Duetto gained significant recognition and popularity due to its appearance in the 1967 film "The Graduate" starring Dustin Hoffman. The car's role in the movie elevated its status and made it an iconic symbol of style, freedom, and youthful exuberance. The Spider Duetto became synonymous with the image of a classic, open-top sports car.

Design and Features:
Designed by Pininfarina, the Alfa Romeo Spider Duetto featured a sleek and elegant body design with flowing lines and a distinctive front grille. It had a long hood, a rounded rear end, and a convertible top. The interior offered a driver-focused cockpit with comfortable seating and classic Italian craftsmanship.

Evolution and Collectibility:
The Spider Duetto was produced from 1966 to 1969, and it evolved over subsequent generations, with various updates and changes made to its design and mechanical components. These later iterations, such as the Spider 1750 and Spider 2000, continued to be well-regarded and sought after by collectors.

Collector Car Status:
Today, the Alfa Romeo Spider Duetto is highly regarded as a collector's car. Its iconic design, connection to "The Graduate" film, and its association with the Alfa Romeo brand's rich heritage have contributed to its desirability. Well-maintained and original examples of the Spider Duetto command premium prices in the collector car market.

Classic car enthusiasts appreciate the Spider Duetto for its beautiful aesthetics, engaging driving dynamics, and its representation of classic Italian sports car heritage. The car's timeless design and open-top driving experience evoke a sense of nostalgia and captivate enthusiasts seeking a vintage automotive experience.

Owning and maintaining a Spider Duetto requires attention to its unique mechanical components and ensuring access to original parts. However, for collectors and enthusiasts, the Spider Duetto offers an opportunity to own a piece of automotive history, relive the charm of a bygone era, and enjoy the thrill of driving a classic Italian convertible.
