    I love the Alfa Spider, never had this much fun with any other cars. Here is my 1983 Spider Veloce (daily driver) before undergoing restoration, it should be finished in a few weeks. I love the aquamarine color!!

    I had a 71 1750 Spider with Cromodoras in College/Med School;

    Times driving that beautiful car were some of my happiest moments.

    Beautiful color on that one. I had a 1958 Giuletta spider in high school / college, which was the first iteration of the car that eventually became the spider veloce. Great little car, never started without some drama though.

    That's a very nice S2! Is it lowered?

    I had a 1991 (S4) for a while. Loved that car, but with two other "play" cars something had to go.
    The S4 was, IMO, just beautiful. Some deride the power steering, but I thought it was great. The A/C even worked.
    The car turned heads everywhere it went. Other than the usual problems you would expect from a 17 year old Italian car, no real downside.

    The last spiders were pretty(1990-1994). To bad they didnt stuff a 2.5 V6 under the hood. That would have been something.

    Was your car recently sold by FJ? They had one in similar colors.
