2005 Alfa Romeo Spider JTS Lusso No Reserve

Lot details Registration No: EN05 FMA Chassis No: ZAR91600007015477 MOT: September 2024 Desirable face-lifted 'Phase 3' Type 916 Spider with 2.0 Litre JTS engine Presented in the attractive colour scheme of Metallic Moon Blue with Black Leather Sports interior Displaying 63,573 miles from new Well-maintained with a full stamped book and back-up invoices supplied with £1,012 spent in April 2024 Beginning development for its interior styling as far back as 1988, the Type-916 Alfa Romeo was officially launched as the Spyder and GTV at the 1995 Geneva Motor Show which were available with either 2.0 Litre Twin-Spark Inline Four or 3.0 Litre V6 engines. The GTV's name placed it as the successor to the long-discontinued Alfetta GTV Coupé, whereas the Spider was effectively the replacement for the then 30-year-old 105-series Giulia Spider. The design was facelifted in 1998 - although this was mainly to do with interior trim but then a second facelift occurred in 2003. This was a little more dramatic and Pininfarina redesigned front end, with an elongated grille and different front bumpers with an off-set registration number. Production of the GTV continued until 2005 with the launch of the Brera and the Spyder continued production until it was replaced by its Brera-based successor in 2006. First registered on 29th June 2005, this attractive Phase 3 Spyder was supplied new to the UK as a 2.0 Litre JTS engined car with Lusso trim by Alfa Romeo of Chelmsford and the PDI was completed on 6th July 2005. It is understood that the vehicle has had six previous owners until our vendor acquired the car in 2017. The history file includes the original stamp book which is complete with 15 stamps, the latest being by Bournemouth-based Alfa Romeo specialist Autolusso in September 2019, however, there is a large stack of invoices to back up work since 2016 with the most recent expenditure being for a new alternator, brake service and more totalling £1,012 in April 2024 and two spare key sets are provided. The vendor is now selling the car to buy something a little more sedate, but describes the car as being in 'very good' mechanical condition thanks to extensive maintenance, although cosmetically it would benefit from some attention due to some scratching and areas of lacquer peel to be expected of a working car, but is on the whole still very useable.
