Introduced in 1958, the 102 Series 2000 succeeded the celebrated 1900 in Alfa Romeo’s model lineup. The 2000 was available in three body styles, including the short-wheelbase Spider. The manufacturer’s highly developed 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder engine provided spritely performance, while Carrozzeria Touring of Milan designed the open coachwork. The Spider was adorned with such details such as twin hood scoops, a split front bumper, and four non-functional chromed vents behind each front wheel.
Production lasted through 1962. With fewer than 3,500 examples built, the endearing 2000 Spider remains one of the rarer post-war production Alfa Romeos, making it all the more desirable and collectible today.
An accompanying Alfa Romeo Museo Storico certificate indicates that the chassis for the Spider offered here was completed on 9 September 1960. After receiving its shapely Touring bodywork, it was subsequently delivered to Hoffman Motor Car Company of New York on 22 August 1961. The Spider was originally finished in Rossa Alfa with a black interior and adorned with a white stripe across the cowl.
Acquired by the current owner from a local collector in October 2016, the car soon became the subject of a seven-year rotisserie restoration that totaled nearly $240,000. Invoices and a selection of photos on file detail the immense amount of work performed, involving stripping the vehicle down to bare metal before reassembling it to the wonderful appearance seen today. Now finished in dark blue over a red interior, this Alfa Romeo is powered by its matching-numbers engine, further increasing the car’s desirability.
Professionally refinished in a stunning color combination and documented with an Alfa Romeo Museo Storico certificate, as well as restoration invoices, this restored 2000 Spider represents a great opportunity for the Alfa Romeo enthusiast to own one of the marque’s least-common standard-production post-war convertibles.To view this car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM website at rmsothebys.com/auctions/mo25/.
