This 91 generation 4 Alfa Spider and drives great. Gets lots of compliments wherever I go- most people don't even know what an Alfa Romeo . The gen 4 (1991-94) Spiders offer Bosch fuel injection, some styling and other upgrades making it comfortable yet fun to drive. The engine starts right up, no smoking, trans shifts fine (no second gear crunch common on these) and drives fine. Recent maintenance includes new master cylinder, battery, A/C charge, headlight stone guards, and oil change. Tires have plenty of tread, and the spare is also 5 star Alfa Mag, with a brand new tire. I have the original tool kit in back, jack, and owner's manual.
Body is very nice with just a few normal dings and scratches commensurate with 110000 miles and 22 years of driving. Virtually rust free, the exception being a couple small bubbles on the windshield wiper cowl as shown. Trunk is very clean and rust free. Interior is nice, shows normal minor wear. seats appear to have been dyed at some time, looks very good. Gauges work except the tach- never did work while I've had it. Oil pressure gauge drops after driving a while, but I'm told this is common with these, and I had a mechanic check it with a separate gauge, and oil pressure is fine, even after long idle here in the Florida heat. A/C works, radio and power antenna works. Horns just quit recently- haven't had them checked. Top is very good shape- no issues- ( I never use it- as I only drive it on nice days, and it sits in my garage top down). Back window is clear.
I bought the car from an Alfa collector in MO- he bought it here in Fl and hardly drove it. Failing health forced dispersal of his collection. I've been enjoying it but no longer have space for it.
I have tried to describe the car thoroughly- please realize it is not a show car, nor is it priced like one. It's a very reliable, fun driver. As such, it is sold AS IS,where is- buyers pays shipping, taxes , registration etc as required by your state. It is currently titled in Florida in my name. I'm in SW Fl , between Sarasota and Fort Myers. You are welcome to come see and drive it .
$500 deposit required at the close of the auction, with balance due in 7 days, cash or certified payment.

the first sentence should say runs and drives great- for some reason I cannot edit it.

Audi rumored to buy Alfa Romeo, officials deny it
Thu, 28 Mar 2013For more than two years, Volkswagen has been making public statements about its willingness to buy Alfa Romeo and quadruple the Italian brand's sales, and for just as long, Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne has replied with some version of "Mr. Piëch, drop it." According to a report in Ward's Auto, all that jousting might be over: it claims that sources close to both Marchionne and Audi CEO Rupert Stadler admit that the two are in talks for Audi to buy not just Alfa Romeo, but a production plant in Italy. In fact, a final deal could possibly include partsmaker Magnetti Marelli.
Against that backdrop, a report by German news weekly Stern quotes a Fiat spokesmen as saying it doesn't comment on rumors and an Audi rep has said flatly that "There is no substance in the news." If a sale is being arranged, the timing would seem to point to how eager Fiat is to raise cash to complete its major initiatives. Even though Alfa Romeo continues to delay its return to the US, it just showed off the production version of the 4C at the Geneva Motor Show (shown above) and said that preferred Fiat dealerships here would get them. Then there's Alfa's recently concluded deal with Mazda to develop a roadster based on the next generation MX-5 Miata - a deal that would seem to help both the Italian and Japanese brands.
The monetary issues are troublesome, though. Fiat is taking a beating in the European market and its weak-kneed balance sheet is delaying gotta-have-it products like the Jeep Cherokee. Fiat has been talking to banks about getting money to buy the rest of Chrysler and those financial institutions have also raised issues about debt and cash reserves, and the nasty game of chess Fiat is playing with the United Auto Workers (and now the court system about the portion of Chrysler it doesn't own) could end up blowing another hole in Marchionne's plans. It is possible that this could finally have convinced Fiat to at least see how serious Audi's parent company, Volkswagen, is about buying Alfa Romeo. Or it could be just another rumor.
CEO says Volkswagen's buying spree is over
Mon, 03 Sep 2012
After adding Italian motorcycle icon Ducati to its stable and spending $5.6 billion on the rest of Porsche, Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn says he's done shopping for a while.
"We have enough to do at the moment in taking our twelve brands to where we want to be," Winterkorn tells German newspaper Handelsblatt.
Chrysler appoints new heads of Alfa Romeo and Ram
Mon, 18 Aug 2014Chrysler has announced to two key appointments to its senior leadership, both of them taking immediate effect. First up is Reid Bigland, who has been named head of the Alfa Romeo brand for North America. Bigland has served until now as head of the Ram Truck brand, a portfolio he now hands over to Robert Hegbloom, who had served until now as its director.
As a result of the appointments, both Bigland and Hegbloom will take up seats on Chrysler's NAFTA Leadership Team, and Bigland will also join the Fiat Chrysler Group Executive Council - the highest decision-making body in the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles empire.
As per Sergio Marchionne's leadership style, Bigland will continue to serve in two major capacities, maintaining his role as president and CEO of Chrysler Canada. Other senior executives who hold multiple key portfolios include Harald Wester (who serves as the group's Chief Technology Officer and also overseas Alfa Romeo, Maserati and Abarth), Olivier Francois (group Chief Marketing Officer and head of the Fiat brand) and Michael Manley (head of the Asia-Pacific region and the Jeep brand).
