Beautiful, cherry red 1991 Alfa Romeo Spider convertible.  Classic Italian sports car designed by Pininfarina, as marked on silver plates on the car body.  Drives well and looks great--gets lots of envious looks and comments!  Perfect for special nights out, weekend getaways, or as a daily driver.  I used it as my daily driver for 6 months until I bought my dream car.  With just a little TLC, this car could be mint!

Following is all the information I have on the car--both good and the signs of age/quirks of an Alfa:

-64,XXX original miles
-Original floor mats, owners manual, took kit, and key rings
-Spare tire included
-Two sets of keys
-Bra cover included
-Accurate, functional odometer
-Rare automatic transmission
-Passes CA smog test
-Paint in good condition, some door dings
-Lights, turn signals, and windshield wipers work
-Speedometer reads accurately after 18 miles per hour
-Original soft top exterior in good condition, but tear in rear window and interior shows age
-Heater and fan work, but the a/c does not
-Driver side window does not roll down.  The electrical works, so it likely just needs to be reset on the track
-Tear in driver side seat bottom
-Tape deck with iPod adapter
-Side mirrors adjust automatically only up and down, must be manually adjusted left and right
-Parking brake light stays on
-Has a hard idle if stopped for extended periods.  I believe the idle motor just needs to be adjusted.
-Brakes need a little extra time, and will eventually need work.  I've never had a problem stopping.
-Recently started leaking a small amount of oil.
-Serviced for at least last two years at Alfa Milano in Los Angeles

All of these problems existed when I bought the car in February.  This is my third vehicle, and I need to downsize.

Alfa Romeo's new CEO sees room to bring back the GTV and the Duetto

Fri, May 21 2021

Alfa Romeo is open to reviving the GTV and the Duetto, two of its most emblematic nameplates, in the coming years. Whether either model returns partially depends on how well the firm's more mainstream models sell. "I'm very interested in the GTV. There is no statement or announcement at this stage, but I'm just giving you a personal feeling that I'm very interested in the GTV. I also love the Duetto," said Jean-Philippe Imparato, the Peugeot veteran who became Alfa Romeo's CEO under Stellantis, in an interview with Australia's CarSales. It's far too early to tell what each model would look like with any significant degree of certainty. Besides, we've been here before: in 2018, former Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) boss Sergio Marchionne outlined a born-again GTV with 600 horsepower, some degree of electrification, all-wheel drive, and seating for four when he presented Alfa Romeo's bold five-year plan. That model has been canned, along with a 700-horsepower halo coupe called 8C. Playing it safe, Imparato cautioned that neither two-door has been approved for production. Alfa Romeo's range currently consists of the Giulia, the Stelvio and the 4C, though the latter is a niche model at the end of its life cycle. It needs to achieve volume before executives can begin exploring coupe and convertible options, and we're in a market where the quickest and most effective way to increase sales is to make SUVs and crossovers. The next new addition to the Alfa Romeo range is widely believed to be the production version of the Tonale concept from 2019. "Allow me to bring Alfa Romeo to a certain level of economic performance, and then we speak," Imparato stressed. "In this time of big changes for the industry, the first priority is to protect Alfa Romeo and drive it through the challenges related to electrification, connectivity and safety," he added. Coupes and convertibles will come later. Interestingly, he strongly hinted the reports claiming the rear-wheel-drive Giorgio platform is on its way out are false. In Alfa-speak, the GTV nameplate traces its roots to the Bertone-designed 105-Series coupe released in 1963. It was called Giulia Sprint GT at launch, and it became the Giulia Sprint GT Veloce (which means "fast" in Italian) in 1965. GTV is the acronym that stuck throughout the model's career. Alfa put the nameplate on the coupe version of the Alfetta (pictured), and it added the 6 suffix when it stuffed the 2.5-liter Busso V6 in the engine bay.

Slow Chinese market delays Maserati and Alfa Romeo models

Thu, Dec 3 2015

We already told you that Alfa Romeo was delaying the Giulia sedan and an unnamed CUV, but now things are getting worse. According to Bloomberg, Maserati has delayed the Alfieri sports car. And it's all China's fault. The faltering Chinese domestic market, which is experiencing its slowest period of growth in nearly three decades, is forcing Fiat Chrysler to rethink its plans for its Italian models, Bloomberg reports. Rather than going for models that would likely be popular in China, including the Alfa CUV and a larger sedan, the company will shift its focus and bring out updated MiTo and Giulietta hatchbacks, both of which would play better in Europe, an unnamed source within FCA told Bloomberg. This news is notable because it shows that FCA boss Sergio Marchionne's ambitious product transformation is not progressing as smoothly as planned. In the MiTo's case, the company is willing to go back on its original strategy. The subcompact hatch wasn't supposed to survive beyond 2016, but Bloomberg is reporting an update is due by the middle of next year. As for Maserati, well, there's not much to say. The Alfieri was supposed to go on sale next year, and now it's not. There's no word on how (or even if) Maserati's priorities will shift to another vehicle, or if this is simply a matter of money being distributed away from one of FCA's brands and toward another.
