About this car

The 2600 Spider was the last Alfa Romeo to use the company's classic twin-cam six-cylinder engine before the firm concentrated on its four-cylinder units. Bodied by Carrozzeria Touring of Milan, it is a rare car: only 2,255 Spiders were built, and just 102 of those were right-hand drive, all made in 1964.

This one is finished in Grigio Biacca, the correct colour for the model, with navy leather trim. The matching-numbers engine still breathes through its original triple Solex carburettors. Recent work includes a repaint, new bumpers, battery, door window seals and carpets.

The car was comprehensively restored in the late 1980s and has covered roughly 5,000 miles since. It has been garage-kept by collectors, and the page describes it as part of a high-end private collection. It is UK-registered as BFX290B.
