1969 Alfa Romeo 'Boat Tail' 1750 Spider
Specifications
Description
This Boat Tail Duetto Spider is a Stunning piece of Alfa-Romeo history.
Long before Alfa Romeo made tire smoking mid-size saloons, it produced lovely little roadsters, like this Duetto Spider. Its body was designed and built by Pininfarina, and comes with a peppy four-cylinder engine.
This particular car left the factory in 1969 with a 1750cc inline-four unit. Thanks to its light weight and simplicity, its quite a joy to drive around the countryside with the top down - it really is.
And despite its primitive, 50-year-old suspension, this roadster actually still rides relatively well. Combine that with the stunning design and lovely-sounding engine, and you've got yourself the perfect classic Italian cruiser.
ABOUT THIS CAR
- Imported from South Africa, it was first registered in New Zealand in 2000.

- Undercarriage - clean and tidy

- The original 1750 version was a one-year-only model, with the advent of the Spica-injected 2000 model in 1971.
- Outstanding speed, acceleration and handling are all characteristics of this class-leading model, which nevertheless possessed a quite remarkable docility, even at high speeds.
- Wheels all in excellent condition
Highly collectible, this is a beautiful piece of kit. A modern classic by Pininfarina, the simple-yet-elegant “Boat tail” Spider bodywork would prove enduringly popular, lasting into the 1990s. The Spider’s mechanics were essentially those of the Giulia saloon while the engine was the GTV’s double-overhead-camshaft four.
Car will be sold WOF’d and Registered if sold in New Zealand.
