Alpha Romeo has been building new cars since the beginning of the 20th Century. It continues this day to produce classic designs with overtly sporty characteristics. he new Spider was introduced in 1966 to replace the aging Giulietta Spider model. It was designed and built by Pininfarina and was based on the Giulia 105 series chassis with a shortened wheelbase. It became and American classic after release of the 1967 film The Graduate, starring Dustin Hoffman. In 1970 the round tail was replaced by the Kamm style cut-off tail as well as with other numerous small changes, both inside and out, such as new door handles and improved interior trim. With changes along the way, this model continued in production until 1994. This classy, sporty 1986 Alpha Romeo Spider has been cared for by the same owner since 1990. The first owner sold it when a family car was needed after he married and had a child. Under the hood is a 1962cc????? engine producing 132 bhp?????? with a 5 speed manual transmission. Red exterior, black vinyl interior. Options include power side mirrors, pop-off battery connection for easy storage, snow chains, and Alpine AM FM radio and CD player (to be installed) with remote. The red Quadrifoglio hard top makes this vehicle particularly desirable. (The original soft top is included but has not been in use for several years, has deteriorated, and should be replaced if soft top driving is desired.) This original engine runs beautifully; the car runs and drives well. This is a great classic Italian Sports Car with a modern touch.

Audi rumored to buy Alfa Romeo, officials deny it
Thu, 28 Mar 2013For more than two years, Volkswagen has been making public statements about its willingness to buy Alfa Romeo and quadruple the Italian brand's sales, and for just as long, Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne has replied with some version of "Mr. Piëch, drop it." According to a report in Ward's Auto, all that jousting might be over: it claims that sources close to both Marchionne and Audi CEO Rupert Stadler admit that the two are in talks for Audi to buy not just Alfa Romeo, but a production plant in Italy. In fact, a final deal could possibly include partsmaker Magnetti Marelli.
Against that backdrop, a report by German news weekly Stern quotes a Fiat spokesmen as saying it doesn't comment on rumors and an Audi rep has said flatly that "There is no substance in the news." If a sale is being arranged, the timing would seem to point to how eager Fiat is to raise cash to complete its major initiatives. Even though Alfa Romeo continues to delay its return to the US, it just showed off the production version of the 4C at the Geneva Motor Show (shown above) and said that preferred Fiat dealerships here would get them. Then there's Alfa's recently concluded deal with Mazda to develop a roadster based on the next generation MX-5 Miata - a deal that would seem to help both the Italian and Japanese brands.
The monetary issues are troublesome, though. Fiat is taking a beating in the European market and its weak-kneed balance sheet is delaying gotta-have-it products like the Jeep Cherokee. Fiat has been talking to banks about getting money to buy the rest of Chrysler and those financial institutions have also raised issues about debt and cash reserves, and the nasty game of chess Fiat is playing with the United Auto Workers (and now the court system about the portion of Chrysler it doesn't own) could end up blowing another hole in Marchionne's plans. It is possible that this could finally have convinced Fiat to at least see how serious Audi's parent company, Volkswagen, is about buying Alfa Romeo. Or it could be just another rumor.
Leno samples Corvette Z06, steam cars, supercars and the wonders of Pebble Beach
Fri, 12 Sep 2014While Jay Leno's Garage was conceived to highlight the wonders of The Big Chin's eponymous storage facility, Leno does occasionally get out an into the larger world. Pebble Beach and the festivities around Monterey recently provided a great excuse for a road trip, and Leno seemingly had a pretty full dance card.
In an episode aptly dubbed The Ultimate Car Week, our host takes us through a pretty representative selection of great things to see in and around Pebble. Starting with a ride-along in a steam car, Jay manages to check in on the latest McLaren supercar and drive the Alfa Romeo 4C along the way. Oh, and he takes a good look at the all-new Corvette Z06 (next to the original Z06) before hitting the Concourse d'Elegance, too.
