1982 is the last year of the series 2 spider, without the front and rear spoilers that most aficionado agree was a step in the wrong direction aesthetically. It is the first year of the very dependable Bosch injection system, so the only year with the 'good looks and dependability'. The paint is called seafoam green and is factory original pearl color that changes from green to blue, depending on light....note in the photos indoor garage shots vs. in the sunshine shots, gorgeous! Interior is a combination of bright blue carpets, with dark blue leather, in flawless 'new condition throughout' again, very attractive. I went to great expense to secure and convert to the stainless bumpers front and rear and eliminate the nasty US govt. required 'big a$$ black bumpers!' I am a longtime Alfisti and had saved a perfect bumper set for more than 25 years waiting for the best candidate, this Spider is it! I acquired this beauty from its original owner who saved every extensive service record from new and it has 57k original miles on the odo. It was repainted due to being 'keyed' by vandals at one point while parked in San Francisco...insurance paid, so it looks near new. Top was replaced at that time, padded canvas. Wheels are flawless, tires new. These are very luxurious cars, power windows, power electric mirrors, leather interior (flawless), plush carpets, padded canvas top, and they are just an absolute joy to drive, quick and nimble. This is one of the lowest mileage gorgeous spiders you will ever see. Prices are on the rise....what cool collector car isn't?? I am downsizing my lovely collection of vintage cars. Alfa's have been stuck in the mud valuation wise, but Guilia/Guilietta and roundtail spiders are spiking in value now. A clean 1982 Spider sold at auction for $22K plus at this winter's AZ scene, and this car trumps that car at a lower price by a long shot. Differences include alloy wheel upgrade and expensive concours condition stainless bumper conversion. I am in Lake Tahoe, NV (northshore). This is THE Alfa Spider to acquire, you have to see it to believe it, obsessively pampered and garaged from new and it shows. The ONLY negative associated with this car in an effort to represent the car honestly is a 'crunch when cold' in 2nd gear. I have not changed out to red dot, but apparently this is a decent 'fix' until replacement time. It is NOT necessary to repair/replace at this time, performs just fine when warmed up. This car rests in a heated garage on a battery tender and starts right up every time. Spring is right around the corner, this car is stunningly beautiful, rare and in exceptional condition. In the photos, note the gap between bumper and hood...rare laser straight like this, no bumps and bruises on this specimen! |

Mazda engineers urging execs for more RWD models
Wed, 02 Oct 2013According to Edmunds, Mazda engineers are pressuring the company to create more rear-wheel-drive models, in an effort to better differentiate itself from its rivals. This push is reportedly coming from middle and senior engineers within the company, and these folks at Mazda believe this rear-drive strategy would allow the automaker to produce more distinctive, fun to drive cars. Mazda discontinued the rear-drive (and rotary-engined) RX-8 a few years ago, leaving the MX-5 Miata as the company's only RWD offering.
As enthusiasts, we're fully on board with Mazda offering more rear-drive cars, but unsurprisingly, the company's top management isn't exactly keen on the idea - and with good reason. First and foremost, the cost associated with redesigning fresh architecture for new models would be very high, and considering the fact that Mazda hasn't exactly been raking in the dough lately, an expensive new venture like this doesn't make a whole lot of sense. What's more, Mazda's latest front-drive models - the Mazda3, Mazda6 and CX-5 - have been very well-received, and are helping the company gain sales momentum.
But that doesn't mean there aren't other options. Edmunds reminds us that Mazda is already partnering with Alfa Romeo on the next-generation Miata, and if this collaboration is successful, perhaps the relationship could bear additional fruit. After all, Alfa Romeo is said to be working on returning to its rear-wheel-drive roots, so Mazda's engineers might be able to make a case for more RWD goodness after all.

Leno samples Corvette Z06, steam cars, supercars and the wonders of Pebble Beach
Fri, 12 Sep 2014While Jay Leno's Garage was conceived to highlight the wonders of The Big Chin's eponymous storage facility, Leno does occasionally get out an into the larger world. Pebble Beach and the festivities around Monterey recently provided a great excuse for a road trip, and Leno seemingly had a pretty full dance card.
In an episode aptly dubbed The Ultimate Car Week, our host takes us through a pretty representative selection of great things to see in and around Pebble. Starting with a ride-along in a steam car, Jay manages to check in on the latest McLaren supercar and drive the Alfa Romeo 4C along the way. Oh, and he takes a good look at the all-new Corvette Z06 (next to the original Z06) before hitting the Concourse d'Elegance, too.
