    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 looks great.
    The Nardi wheel even looks just right.

    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.
