1959 Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider Roadster

This Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider was completed on September 18th, 1959, and was soon delivered to its first owner in southern Germany. The current owner acquired this Spider in 2005 from a collection of European sports cars in Orange County, California. At the time, the car was complete but in need of restoration. An extensive, meticulous, multi-year restoration soon followed. An additional Spider chassis was purchased in order to source a bevy of nearly impossible-to-obtain trim items. Mechanical components were refurbished by Pat Ritz of Sports and Collector Car Service Center in Tempe, Arizona, with all brightwork entrusted to Christensen Plating of Los Angeles, California.

This 2000 SPider is equipped with a numbers-matching twin-cam inline four-cylinder engine paired with a five-speed manual transmission. It has fully restored original gauges, the correct factory steering wheel, and numerous chrome trim details unique to Touring Spiders. At all four corners are factory ten-hole wheels wrapped in period-correct Michelin XWX tires.
