La Dolce Vita – Our 1989 Alfa Romeo Spider is now live!
February 12, 2024
As one of the last iterations of the iconic Spider, the 1989 model held true to Alfa Romeo’s legacy. With its classic Pininfarina-designed body, the 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine gave a spirited driving experience while the stylish interior offered a sense of comfort and luxury.
Our 1989 Alfa Romeo Spider is a rare find thanks to its right-hand drive configuration and is the fuel-injected Series 3 model. This Italian sports car benefits from a recent repaint, and has been well-maintained both inside and out. Finished in an eye-catching red exterior paired with a tasteful black-trimmed interior, you certainly get the Italian luxury you might expect. This is further complimented by its wood-rimmed Nardi steering wheel.
This example was originally registered overseas before acquiring its UK registration later on. Our Spider shows 55,976 kilometres (34,781 miles) over its 6 previous owners – the most recent being since 2017.
The accompanying history file contains MoTs dating back to 1994, receipts, original sales brochures, tax discs, the owner’s manual, and spare keys.
- Rare right-hand drive Series 3 model
- Recent repaint
- 2-litre twin-cam four-cylinder engine

PDI And Road Test
February 12, 2024
Our 1992 Rover Italian Job Mini has been with technician Jonn recently. his notes:
Carry out road test. Car has a vibration through whole car and steering out to right. Remove engine steady bar and found bushes badly splt.
Take outside and warm up. Carry out road test. Return to workshop with issues to sort out. Remove steering wheel and align with straight ahead position. Car has bad vibration and knock. Trace knock to engine steady link.
Adjust valve clearances all were tight. Refit rocker cover and run up. Vibration still present. Raise in the air and run up. Visually inspect for components in contact with body but nothing found. All subframe and engine mounts appear fine. Remove catalyst as internals loose. Smash out monolith from inside just incase it was blocked. Refit and run and test. Still the same. Disconnect alternator belt and run up. Vibration still present.
The car has now been transported for repair.
