Introduction

An Italian open top icon with a mesmerisingly wonderful soundtrack.
Alfa Romeo is one of the few brands that have consistently remained true to the demands of their customer base, providing a little soul and passion to every one of its products. One of the most iconic designs to come from the factory was the 105-Series Spider, a car that remained in production for almost 30 years without sacrificing its character or purpose. The Series 2 models, first seen in 1969 were recognisable by their cut-off ‘Kamm’ tail and revised interior.
Powered by the 2.0 litre Twin-Cam engine fed by twin Weber carbs, the S2 models were the last cars to be officially converted at the factory by Alfa Romeo for the RHD market. Fitted with a rear seat, bigger bumpers and improved instrumentation, the car remained true to its roots without diluting the glorious driving experience.
Originally registered in the UK in 1976, this Rosso Red S2 is superbly presented, with an exceptionally clean interior and has been well maintained. It is MOT'd and road tax exempt, comes with two keys and was originally owned by 1970s voice actor, William Franklyn, the voice of Schweppes Tonic.
Prices of S1 cars have gone stratospheric over recent years and more recently S2 models have been on the rise too - here at TC we tip these S2 cars as excellent future investment opportunities.
This listing was written from information supplied by Darren after meeting Scott the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.
