Fabulous 1963 Alfa Romeo 2600 Spider now available from a long-term marque enthusiast.

 

Alfa Romeo introduced its 2600 model range at the 1962 Geneva Motor Show. The cars succeeded the popular 2000 series, and were offered as a four-door Berlina sedan, a two-door Sprint coupe and an open two-door Spider. Berlinas were designed and built in-house by Alfa, while Sprints were designed by Bertone but built by OSI, and Spiders were designed and built by Touring of Milan.

 

The 2600 utilized an all-new 2,584-cc aluminum inline-six cylinder engine with cast iron liners, a cross-flow head and hemispherical combustion chambers. This was a departure from the iron-block four-cylinders which had been the norm in previous postwar Alfas. In the Berlina, the engine was fitted with two Solex carburetors and developed 130 horsepower, while Sprints and Spiders featured three carbs and developed 145 hp. In the Berlina, the engine was mated to a column-shift manual, while Sprints and Spiders featured a five-speed synchromesh floor unit. Top speed was rated at 124 mph in the Sprint and Spider while Berlinas peaked at 112 mph.

 

Early cars featured front Girling disc brakes and rear drums, though eventually discs were made standard all around. Suspension was courtesy of front double A-arms with coil springs and a sway bar, and a solid rear axle with longitudinal radius arms and coil springs. Sprints were perhaps the most versatile offering, as they featured seating for four in an attractive grand touring body, with amenities like available leather seating, electric windows, rear demister and two-speed wipers. Spiders were a departure for Touring, as they were made of steel rather than aluminum. 

 

Just 2,257 Spiders were produced between 1962 and 1968.
