The Alfa Romeo Spider, a Pininfarina masterpiece, first graced roads in 1966, immediately captivating enthusiasts with its elegant lines and spirited performance. The Series 3, introduced in 1983, continued this legacy, evolving the iconic design with integrated bumpers and a subtle rear spoiler that, while initially controversial, has come to define the mid-80s Spider aesthetic. This generation retained the beloved all-aluminum twin-cam engine and five-speed manual transmission, a powertrain celebrated for its eager revving and distinctive exhaust note, making every drive an event. The "Graduate" trim, introduced later in the Series 3 run, offered a more accessible entry point into Alfa Romeo ownership, paying homage to the car's appearance in the iconic 1967 film. This 1987 Alfa Romeo Spider Graduate, showing 116,000 miles, embodies the enduring charm of the Series 3. Finished in classic Rosso Alfa red with a contrasting black soft top and interior, its Florida provenance has kept the body notably free of visible rust, a significant advantage for any vintage Alfa. Under the hood lies the venerable 2.0L twin-cam engine, now featuring Bosch fuel injection for reliable performance. Enhancements like a chassis stiffener from Eremines Imports and genuine Panasport Minilite 15” x 6” wheels elevate both its handling and curb appeal, while numerous recent maintenance items, including a replaced radiator, new soft top, and refreshed interior trim, ensure this Spider is ready for its next chapter. This well-maintained and thoughtfully upgraded Alfa Romeo Spider presents a fantastic opportunity to own a driving icon, perfect for spirited weekend drives or further personalized restoration.
