1998 Alfa Romeo GTV Spider 2.0 Ltr Twinspark
Specifications
Description
The Alfa Spider offers a healthy dose of Latin charisma and some of the best engines you'll come across anywhere...these Spiders are never anything less than a blast.
Naturally, you'll have to make some sacrifices if you want to enjoy open top motoring and the Spider will require you to travel light. It's a car that adheres to the grand old traditions of a small weekend bag, your nearest and dearest and the open road.
It's a romantic ideal in a country like ours and from launch, the Spider was a steady seller for Alfa Romeo.
The Spider borrows its heritage form the old-shape Spider, which achieved celebrity status courtesy of Dustin Hoffman in The Graduate. That said, the Spider would probably have been a success even if Anne Bancroft had twitched her curtain to see Dustin rolling up in a Morris Oxford.
In certain respects the heritage goes back further than the 'Duetto' to the Giulietta Spider of 1955-1962 which, like this 1996 car, was also designed by Pininfarina.

The styling is unmistakably Alfa Romeo, from that trademark triangular grille, through those distinctive twin circular headlamps to the classic curves of the pretty rear. That the Spider feels like an expensive car is thanks to careful touches.
This car has not been thrashed and has no known electrical problems and interior creaks and rattles.
On the road, sixty is just over eight seconds away en route to 130mph in the Twin Spark. If there's a better-sounding engine than this, it's difficult to think of it offhand.
The Spider may not boast contemporary niceties like a folding hard top or stability control electronics, but once you've fired the engine up and blasted the Alfa down the road, you may not care. Track down a well looked after example like this one and you'll have a car that only grows better with age.
Car will be sold WOF'd and Registered if sold in New Zealand.

Waimak Classic Cars Ltd is a New Zealand registered company and accepts that the vehicle being sold must be of “acceptable quality” in terms of section 7 of the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 (the Act) having regard to “the nature of the goods”.
Waimak Classic Cars is not aware of any specific defects with the vehicle, however (a) such a vehicle being a classic vehicle may have mechanical breakdowns, electrical failures at inconvenient times and maintenance costs being part of and parcel of ownership of a classic vehicle; (b) reliability is a combination of the particular nature of the classic vehicle, how it is being driven, how it has been maintained, and to a certain extent luck; (c) because of the age of the vehicle, and its propensity to rust, it is likely that the vehicle would have been fully or partially restored, or at least repainted at some point in its life, maybe even more than once. Waimak Classic Cars does not know, and cannot give advice on how good any restoration work on the vehicle had been.
The Purchaser acknowledges that the vehicle is being sold as a classic car; that in terms of the Act and the nature of the goods, the vehicle is an old car, bike or boat, that may have visual and hidden faults, unlike a new motor vehicle.
The Purchaser is encouraged to personally fully inspect the vehicle and also to have the vehicle inspected, and fully assessed by an experienced, independent, specialist garage - before committing to purchase. While the Purchaser is entitled to rely on statements given by Waimak Classic Cars as being correct, where goods such as vehicles are concerned, with so many moving parts and rust being an issue with older vehicles; a Purchaser who chooses not to seek independent professional assistance when assessing the quality of what they propose to buy is considered as buying at their own risk, and if the vehicle then turns out to be of less than the represented quality, or not up to the Purchaser's expectation, or in the Purchaser opinion not fit for purpose; then the Purchaser is considered to have contributed to their own loss and should not expect any refunds or betterment from Waimak Classic Cars.
The Purchaser acknowledges that they have read and fully understand this notification and the nature of a car which is many years old.
