Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce 2.0 Liter 1984

Allmän beskrivning : Description
You either understand Alfa-Romeos or you don't. Cars like this 1984 Spider Veloce don't make a lot of sense to our rational minds, but slide behind the wheel and it whispers seductively in fluent Italian and suddenly you find yourself running it through the gears just for the sheer joy of the sound and the feel of a machine acting as your dance partner.
It also helps that it's good looking. Sportier than an MG and undeniably Italian, this Alfa is the entry-level two-seater for the guy who knows the real thing when he sees it. Every manufacturer has built a two-seat roadster, it seems, but few can do it better than the Italians. It starts with great bodywork, and the Spider Veloce, which endured for decades virtually unchanged, shows off a lot of flair in a compact package. The bright Aqua Blue paint is in good condition with the usual signs of use, which is fitting on a car that's designed to be a great dance partner, and you could really wake it up with a proper buff. Panel fit is quite good given the era and the hand-built nature of the car, and the shape works just fine without the body add-ons that would come a few years later. Simple, elegant, and extremely sporty, it shows off the little things that the Italians do so well. Note the neat little flush-fitting door handles, the exhaust pipe that's almost (but not quite!) centered under the rear bumper, and, of course, that Alfa grille standing proud up front, neatly integrated into the bumper assembly.
The special Italian touch extends to the interior, where even this bargain-priced roadster gets handsomely reupholstered blue leather buckets that wear correct-looking seat covers. A wood-rimmed wheel adds to the interior's ambience, and while it looks pretty weird, that shifter is intuitive and easy to use without any strangeness at all. Functional Jaeger instruments in a pair of hoods jutting out of the dash show off the simplicity that has long been a hallmark of Italian automotive design, with the secondary instruments slightly canted towards the driver. The ventilation system is typical Italian, with controls that are hard to decipher, but that's really all part of the charm in a car like this, although the A/C is blowing nice and cold thanks to an upgrade to R134a refrigerant. There's also a Sony head unit that was installed many years ago and probably due for an upgrade today if you want to actually listen to some good tunes. The trunk is actually well-shaped and spacious enough to hold luggage for two, and a black canvas convertible top fits neatly and can be stowed in seconds.
The sporty 2-liter engine sings to life with gusto and loves to rev, and with a glorious sound from the single tailpipe out back, you'll be looking for reasons to drop a gear or two and pin the throttle. Aluminum cam covers are a traditional Alfa look, and the fuel injection system has that instant throttle response that makes these cars such a joy to drive. And contrary to what you may have heard, these tough little Italian sports cars are actually reliable and sturdy, perfect for having fun without the worries. Yes, it's a little scruffy, but a weekend or two spent cleaning things up will pay big dividends because it's all in good shape otherwise. The 5-speed manual gearbox snicks through the gears thanks to a silky smooth clutch and the suspension has a great combination of control and supple body movements, so the car is all-day comfortable. Four-wheel discs live behind stylish 5-spoke alloys carrying 195/70/14 Cooper radials.
Fun and stylish, this bargain-priced exotic is a great entry-level Italian with only 73,408 miles on the clock. And for a price that is less than a 3-year old Honda, you get a genuine Alfa Romeo that gives you a real taste of pure sports car magic. Call today!

om Alfa Romeo Spider
Alfa Romeo Spider Kammtail, även känd som Alfa Romeo Spider Series 2, är en klassisk sportbil som tillverkades av Alfa Romeo från 1970 till 1982. Här är lite information om dess utveckling och funktioner:

1. Utveckling: Kammtail-versionen av Alfa Romeo Spider introducerades som en redesign av den ursprungliga Spider, som stylades av Pininfarina. Series 2-modellen innehöll flera uppdateringar, inklusive en ny "Kamm" eller "Kammtail" stil bak.

2. Kammtail-design: Kammtail-designen kännetecknades av en stympad, kvadratisk bakre ände med en vertikal bakruta. Detta designelement påverkades av forskningen från den tyske aerodynamikern Wunibald Kamm, som fann att en avsmalnande bakände kunde minska aerodynamisk motstånd.

3. Styling och funktioner: Alfa Romeo Spider Kammtail bibehöll de klassiska och eleganta linjerna från sin föregångare men innehöll uppdateringar som en reviderad frontgrill, nya stötfångare och större bakljus. Interiören fick också en del förbättringar, inklusive förbättrade sittplatser och reviderad instrumentpanelslayout.

4. Motor och prestanda: Spider Kammtail erbjöds med en rad motorer under hela sin produktionsserie, inklusive inline-fyra motorer med slagvolymer från 1,3 till 2,0 liter. Dessa motorer gav pigg prestanda och en spännande körupplevelse, karakteristisk för Alfa Romeo sportbilar.

5. Popularitet och samlarstatus: Alfa Romeo Spider Kammtail har vunnit popularitet bland klassiska bilentusiaster på grund av sin tidlösa design, öppen körupplevelse och relativt lättillgängliga priser jämfört med vissa andra klassiska italienska sportbilar. Den anses vara en klassisk bilikon och fortsätter att uppskattas av entusiaster och samlare över hela världen.

6. Kulturell betydelse: Spider Kammtail fick betydande exponering och erkännande genom sitt utseende i filmen "The Graduate" från 1967, där en röd Alfa Romeo Spider spelade en framträdande roll. Denna exponering bidrog till dess önskvärdhet och ikoniska status.

Alfa Romeo Spider Kammtail är hyllad för sin distinkta design, njutbara kördynamik och sin koppling till bilhistoria och popkultur. Den är fortfarande en eftertraktad klassisk bil idag, uppskattad för sin tidlösa tilltalande och den upphetsning den ger bakom ratten.
