Alfa Romeo 105 Series Spider - The Complete Story

The Alfa Romeo 105 series Spider is one of the most admired drop-head sports cars to come out of Italy. Launched in 1966, its radical new look was not immediately welcomed. As prospective buyers gradually warmed to the model, enhancements were introduced including more powerful engines and higher-spec body and interior fittings.
Despite its inauspicious start, production of this much-admired car lasted for twenty-seven years, finally stopping in 1993.

Jim Talbott and Andrew Brown pay homage to the 105/115 series Alfa Spider. With over 330 photographs, many specially commissioned, this book describes the Alfa Romeo company history including its philosophy of incorporating driver appeal into all of its products, resulting in some of the most desirable vehicles of their age; it details the evolution of the 105/115 series through four distinct body styles; lists the technical design specifications and every major version of the Spider and finally, discusses the issues and challenges of finding and owning a classic Spider.

Als am 10. März 1966 der neue Spider auf dem Genfer Autosalon vorgestellt wurde, löste der später Duetto genannte Neuling den Giulietta Spider ab. Gleichzeitig polarisierte das neue, moderne Design Pininfarinas die Alfa-Anhängerschaft.
Trotz der sehr unterschiedlichen Ansichten über sein Erscheinungsbild und Spitznamen, die von Tintenfisch-Schulp bis Gummiboot reichten, hat sich der italienische Klassiker seinen Platz in den Herzen vieler Oldtimer-Enthusiasten erobert.

Alfa Romeo Duetto e Spider

Few cars in the history of the automobile have enjoyed such a long life as the Alfa Romeo 1600 Spider - known to most as the Duetto - that made its first appearance at the 1966 Geneva Motor Show. Created by the magical Pininfarina, who had already designed the Giulietta Spider, Alfa's new discovery immediately transformed itself into an icon due to the fascination of its flowing lines and the reliability of its much tested mechanics.
About a decade later, in the mid-Seventies, the Spider was given a stubby tail, which would accompany the Alfa Romeo two-seaters to the early Nineties.

Fifty years after that 1966 Geneva Motor Show that saw the baptism of the Duetto series, it seemed inevitable that a new book would be devoted to this historic car, so beautiful and attractive.
