Few marques trigger the passion and loyalty that Alfa Romeo inspires. For the dedicated Alfista, as obsessed Alfa fans are known, nothing else matches the power, handling, and sensuous Italian styling offered by the storied Milan manufacturer. While just about any Alfa checks the box for the Alfista, open cars like the 1959 Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider offered here are especially valued.

The 2000 Spider was a much-needed update on the then-dated Alfa Romeo 1900. First introduced in 1958, the 2000 Spider featured an entirely new body design by Carrozzeria Touring. The car is powered by a 1,975-cc DOHC four-cylinder engine featuring two Solex carburetors. The engine is coupled with a five-speed transmission. The finely tuned unequal-length A-arm suspension, rigid rear axle and stiff coil springs made for a fun to drive, sporty package. The 2000 Spider was an instant smash hit, not just with the Alfista, and would continue in production until 1962, when it was replaced by the Alfa 2600. The 2000 Spider ended with a total production run of approximately 3,443 examples between 1958 and 1961.

This 2000 Spider is presented in its original color scheme of red paint over a black interior. In 2015 the owner sourced five Borrani wire wheels and hubs. The wheels were an option rarely sold to owners when the car was new. The black Hartz convertible top is in excellent condition, ready for inclement weather or top down motoring. A two-owner example with only 44,621 miles on the odometer at time of cataloging, this Alfa is in pristine and immaculate condition and is ready for many more miles of driving pleasure.
