1991 Alfa Romeo Spider 'Beauté' One of just 120 Limited Edition examples
Lot details
Registration No: L676 XAT
Chassis No: ZAR11500006012582
MOT: 24 June 2022 Number 114 of just 120 limited edition examples manufactured In current ownership for the last 18 years and displays just 65,970km (40,991 miles). A rare right hand conversion for a vehicle only supplied in left hand drive
By the time the fourth generation of the Alfa Romeo Spider was unveiled, the model had moved considerably upmarket. To attract a new and more image-driven audience, Alfa teamed up with a French magazine called Beauté to launch a more premium-looking variant of the well-known Spider. Offered only on the French market, the Beauté edition was finished in an attractive combination of white and dark blue. To provide a bit of contrast the top was dark blue and the 15-inch Quadrifoglio wheels were painted in white.
The white and blue motif was carried out to the interior, where the seats were upholstered in white leather and the carpet was blue. The door panels were partly covered in the same white leather that was found on the seats. The dashboard, the steering wheel and the center console were black. No modifications were made under the hood and the Spider Beauté was powered by Alfa’s famed chain-driven 2L four-cylinder engine paired with a five speed manual transmission that sent power to the rear wheels.
Only 120 examples of the Beauté were built in 1991. Each one was identified by a numbered plaque that was mounted to the right of the clock on the center console.
Number 114 of those 120 examples, L676 XAT was manufactured in 1991 and imported to the UK through Ellison of Hull with delivery mileage. The car was registered in 1993 and at some point it is believed to have been converted from left to right hand drive. More recently, the car has been subject to work in February of 2021 including the sills being repaired, boot floor replaced, the lower half of the car resprayed and the underside waxyoiled, as well as a replacement battery in October of 2020 and replacement starter motor in August of 2021.
L676 XAT has been in current ownership for a staggering 18 years and displays 65,970km (40,991 miles). Accompanied with the car are documents including the V5 document which displays 4 former keepers, MOT certificates straight through from 1996 to present, a collection of invoices and even includes a record of all petrol that has been put in the car. The vendor rates the condition of the transmission and gearbox as ‘Good’, the bodywork as ‘Good to Very Good’ and the engine, electrical equipment and paintwork as ‘Very Good’.
