Description for Alfa Romeo Spider 1974

Selling a 1974 Alfa Romeo that is astand-out example of a Series 2 Spider and has beenmeticulouslycared for by an enthusiast owner. The car was originally purchased in San Francisco and has spent its entire life in the Bay Area until I purchased the vehicle in June 2015 and shipped it to Indiana.

My plan was to use this vehicle as a daily driver and to take adventurous trips during the Summer/Fall hauling ass down the twisty hilly roads of Southern Indiana but unfortunately I landed a job outside of the United States and thus I must sell.

While the Spider was in the Bay Area, ehicle maintenance was performed by Glenn Oliveria of Oliveria Engineering in Berkeley, alifornia. For those of you who do not know,Glenn Oliveria is considered by many Alfisti to be one of the finest Alfa Romeo mechanics in the Bay Area.
