OVERVIEW
Unveiled in 1962 as the successor to the 2000 Spider, the Alfa Romeo 2600 Spider was then the flagship model in the Milan-based manufacturer’s range. Elegantly designed and built by Carrozzeria Touring using the Superleggera process, it combines a particularly refined silhouette with the mechanical excellence of Alfa Romeo’s famous straight-six engine.
This example, first registered on 8 April 1963, belongs to the first generation of the 2600 Spider and has a history spanning both France and Italy.
The model is particularly sought-after for its twin overhead camshaft inline-six engine, which represents the culmination of this architecture at Alfa Romeo and forms part of the brand’s prestigious line-up of six-cylinder engines.
With only 2,255 examples produced between 1962 and 1965, the 2600 Spider is now one of the rarest classic Alfa Romeo convertibles.
HISTORY AND MAINTENANCE
This particular example has a documented maintenance history spanning several decades.
Key maintenance work recorded includes a service of the steering and running gear in 1995, the replacement of the windscreen in 1997, and work on the exhaust and braking systems in 2005 and 2006.
The vehicle was granted classic car status by the FFVE in 1997.
Acquired by its current owner around ten years ago, the car subsequently underwent restoration work, including a complete repaint of the bodywork and the refurbishment of the front seats.
A file of original invoices and documents accompanies the vehicle.
CONDITION
The bodywork presents a fine overall appearance and has been fully repainted. There are no obvious faults, although a touch-up to the paintwork might be considered to restore it to its full lustre.
The interior, upholstered in ecru and black leather, retains the elegant and characteristic style of the great Alfa Romeo convertibles of that era.
The vehicle comes with its original hardtop, which is in very good condition.
The soft top, however, shows signs of wear and will need to be replaced or restored by its future owner.
COMMENTS
This Alfa Romeo 2600 Spider Touring combines several features that will be particularly appealing to a fan of the make: limited production, a body designed by Touring Superleggera, a 2+2 layout and, above all, the prestigious twin-cam inline six-cylinder engine.
Its documented history, file of invoices and the work already carried out are particularly interesting features for this model, which has become a rarity on the market.
An elegant Italian GT from the 1960s, aimed at both collectors of the make and enthusiasts of large touring convertibles.
