Alfa Romeo 105 Series Spider - The Complete Story

The Alfa Romeo 105 series Spider is one of Italy's most admired open-top sports cars. Introduced in 1966, its bold design was first met with mixed reactions. As acceptance grew, the model was improved with more powerful engines and higher-quality body and interior features. Despite a difficult start, production continued for twenty-seven years and ended in 1993.

Jim Talbott and Andrew Brown pay tribute to the Alfa Romeo 105/115 Spider series. With more than 330 photographs, many specially commissioned, the book outlines the history of Alfa Romeo and its focus on driving pleasure. It follows the development of the 105/115 series through four main body styles, lists key technical specifications and all major versions, and discusses the practical issues of buying and owning a classic Spider.

It has become a legend like no other convertible. Its fans have remained unwaveringly loyal to it - through all crises, for over 50 years. The Alfa Spider: a character car without equal.
This book is intended as a declaration of love. It traces the history of the Alfa Spider in minute detail and grippingly.

Lucas Cellini tells of the eventful life of the southern heartthrob. He introduces the men who created the Spider myth. Cellini shows the original Spider, explains how it got the name "Duetto" and why its shape was initially hotly debated.

This book shows how the Alfa Spider was able to survive the convertible crisis of the 1970s, explains why its fans loved it despite the spoiler - in unprecedented detail. Those interested will find detailed buying advice; sports fans will find previously unpublished photos of the Spider in racing.

Lucas Cellini wrote his book with the same love that Alfisti devote to their cars. In the Alfa archives he came across fascinating images from three decades of Spiders. Many of these images are being published for the first time.

Alfa Romeo Duetto e Spider

Few cars have remained in production as long as the Alfa Romeo 1600 Spider, widely known as the Duetto, first shown at the 1966 Geneva Motor Show. Designed by Pininfarina, who had already created the Giulietta Spider, the new model quickly became an icon thanks to its elegant lines and proven mechanical reliability.

In the mid-1970s, the Spider received a shorter rear design. This version remained in production and defined Alfa Romeo's two-seater models until the early 1990s.

Fifty years after its debut in Geneva, the lasting appeal and importance of the Duetto made the publication of a dedicated book both timely and fitting.
