This 1971 Alfa Romeo Spider is a modified driver that was fitted with a fuel-injected 2.0 liter inline-four from a 1980s Alfa by the previous owner. $6k in recent mechanical sorting included new brakes, a rebuilt suspension, new clutch, and an overhaul of the 5-speed manual transmission with rebuilt synchros. Some cosmetic attention is needed, though the car is said to run reliably and drive well as-is. A collection of books, manuals, parts catalogues, and receipts for work performed by the seller are included. This Spider is sold with a clean California title in the seller’s name.

Originally Olive Green, the car was repainted blue some time ago. The seller notes that the finish is driver quality, and there is a dent on the accent line in the driver’s front fender seen above. There are several unfilled holes in the body and trunk lid where side skirts and a luggage rack were formerly mounted.

The black convertible top appears to be in good condition, while the vinyl rear window shows no fading or tears. The 1980s-era alloys exhibit some moderate scuffing from certain angles.

The interior shows a patina with little scuffing or marking readily visible. The seller notes that the dash is cracked and currently wears a cap. Wiring was partially addressed during recent service, and a moderns stereo head unit has been added. Gauges and switches are functional, though the horn and heater fan are inoperative. The 49k indicated miles are not believed accurate.

The two-tone blue upholstery complements the exterior color and appears to have held up well. The carpets are protected by mats that are in need of replacement. The seller notes a speaker installation behind the front seats that currently restricts legroom for taller drivers.

The Bosch fuel-injected 2.0 liter twin cam inline-four was sourced from a 1980s donor car and is paired to a 5-speed manual transmission. The seller has driven the car approximately 1,000 miles over the past year, and recent servicing included an overhauled transmission with rebuilt synchros, refresh of the braking system, new fuel pump, and replacement suspension components. All service was performed by Uwe Backer at Omega Motorsports in Los Angeles.

The car is believed to have been California since new, and the body and floor panels are reportedly free of notable corrosion. The newly-replaced shocks and springs can be seen above.
