1988 Alfa Romeo Spider Pininfarina Injection - Rosso Corsa - 70,917km - 2.0L Inline 4, 5-Speed Manual
Overview
The Alfa Romeo Spider Pininfarina represents one of the most celebrated convertible designs of the late 20th century. This 1992 example, finished in iconic Rosso Corsa red, embodies the Italian marque's commitment to elegant proportions and engaging driving dynamics. The Spider nameplate carries decades of heritage, and the Pininfarina-designed body remains a masterclass in automotive aesthetics. This particular vehicle, with just over 70,000 kilometres on the odometer, presents as a well-preserved example of this timeless classic.
The exterior presents in good condition throughout. The Rosso Corsa finish holds excellent gloss across all panels, with only minor stone chipping visible on the bonnet leading edge, consistent with age and road use. Panel gaps are even and body lines remain crisp and straight, indicating no accident history. The convertible top is black and functional, with the hood mechanism operating smoothly. Chrome trim and stainless steel detailing show appropriate patina for a vehicle of this age. The Pininfarina badging is clear and the distinctive front grille remains a focal point of the design. Wheels are original specification alloys with good tread depth on the tyres.
Inside, the cabin presents with character befitting a 32-year-old classic. The black leather interior shows wear consistent with the vehicle's age and kilometres, with minor creasing on the seat bolsters and some patina on the dashboard. The steering wheel is original Alfa Romeo specification with good grip remaining. The instrument cluster is analogue with clear gauges. The centre console houses the original radio delete panel. Ventilation controls are mechanical and fully functional. The driving position is commanding and the cabin remains intimate and driver-focused, as intended by the original design.
The 2.0-litre inline-four petrol engine is the fuel-injected variant, producing 115 kilowatts of power. The engine bay is clean and well-maintained, with all fluid levels correct and no signs of leakage. The fuel injection system is original specification. The five-speed manual transmission engages cleanly through all ratios, and the clutch action is positive and responsive. This powertrain combination delivers the characteristic Alfa Romeo driving experience: responsive, engaging, and rewarding on open roads. At a market guide of approximately AUD $18,000 to $25,000 for examples in comparable condition, this Spider represents genuine value for the classic convertible enthusiast. Original Pininfarina Spiders of this era have become increasingly sought-after as investment-grade classics, with strong collector interest in right-hand-drive examples.
