This classic car is for sale on Catawiki. To have more information or to place a bid click on the "BID NOW" button. .ALFA ROMEO SPIDER TIPO 916 2.0 16V TWIN SPARK 1996 ROSSO.

It concerns a very neat Spider that appears to have been pampered like a Ferrari by the previous owner/owners.

This bolide still looks ‘Pico Bello’ as they say in Italy (both optically and technically) for its age of 24 years

The driving characteristics are very surprising, the car steers exceptionally sharp through the curves
and feels very sporty and sturdy. At the same time, the suspension is also sufficiently comfortable for enjoyable trips. Behind the wheel of this Alfa you will experience the unprecedented sensation of feeling one with the car. The cockpit is designed around the driver.

Especially in this time when freedom can sometimes be hard to find, this 2-seater can really give you a smile on your face, the top folds down in 1 minute and then the party can start, fun touring on winding country roads enjoying the fresh air and the delightful sounds from the Novitec mufflers when you step on the gas. (Listening to nice music is also possible with the Pioneer radio with USB connection and good speakers all around.

Also in terms of power it will certainly not disappoint, standard this powerful 2.0 16v Twinspark delivers150 HP.

However, the previous owner had the block tuned by Squadra Tuning by means of Chiptuning for more power/torque. That is also very noticeable. The engine runs great and is very powerful. It is also equipped with an open air filter and Novitec muffler.

In terms of maintenance, everything has been done and you don't have to worry about anything for the time being. On 30-04-2020, the timing beltt/balance shaft belt/tensioner and water pump have been replaced at a mileage of 134,117 km. The block has a relatively low mileage and has presently driven 135,000 km. All fluids/filters etcetera have also been replaced. Brake discs/pads everything looks great!. The gearbox shifts nicely and smoothly.
In short, technically 100% okay and it features a new Dutch periodic vehicle inspection.

This is demonstrated by various maintenance invoices totalling thousands of euros. (please view all photos)
All booklets are present/ 3 original keys etcetera.

That's a lot of positives! I hear you think whether there are any flaws.
Fortunately not very many, but a few things such as:

The bonnet has a small tear underneath the emblem (is only visible if you know that).
The edges of the sills near the jacking points have damage due to use but don’t have any rust.
A few very light dents in the door without paint damage and easy to remove by means of restyling, should those annoy you. (All this is not necessary or annoying and can be easily remedied without costing too much)

The paintwork still looks very good for its age! With very minor signs of wear.
Rust is fortunately nowhere to be found on this Spider and all electronics are working properly.

The beautiful black/dark blue leather Momo interior is also in a very nice condition with minor signs of wear.

Original rims and tyres are neat with good tread all around.

In short: a sleek/neat car that is in a very good condition, both technically and optically.
It deserves a genuine enthusiast who takes good care of it but also especially enjoys it during sunny days!

Finally, the Spider will only increase in value in the future, it is and remains a work of art on wheels, designed by Enrico Fumia at design house Pinninfarina in close collaboration with the Alfa Romeo Centro Stile!

The Spider is located in Friesland/Leeuwarden but can also be picked up in Gelderland/Beuningen (the Netherlands).
