Alfa Romeos through about 1990 are interesting in that there are several so-called transition models. This is where a car was built, with, say, an upgraded powertrain in the original-style body. Spiders on the 105/115 chassis went through several such transitions – the original round-taill spider was built with a fuel-injected 1750 engine before the square tail car came out, the Series 2 car was built with Bosch electronic fuel injection, variable exhaust valve timing, and interior upgrades before the transition to the Series 3 “aerodinamica” cars, and so on. So if you want something a little rarer among the thousands of Alfa Spiders built, you might consider this 1982 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce for sale for $2900 in San Mateo, CA.
