Description

1959 Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider – Touring Coachwork, 2.0L Inline-Four, 5-Speed Manual, Restored, 11k Miles

This 1959 Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider is a rare and beautifully restored example of postwar Italian luxury and design, featuring coachwork by Carrozzeria Touring and powered by a 2.0-liter inline-four paired with a five-speed manual transmission. Showing just over 11,000 miles and offered by its second private owner, this Spider has undergone a comprehensive restoration by a marque specialist and is presented in near-perfect condition, both mechanically and cosmetically.

Design & Heritage

Following the success of the Giulietta Spider, Alfa Romeo introduced the 2000 Spider in the late 1950s as a more luxurious, open-top grand tourer. Built on the same 2.5-meter wheelbase as the earlier 1900 platform, the 2000 Spider featured a steel body designed by Carlo Anderloni and hand-built by Touring. The result was a graceful, elongated silhouette with subtle fins, elegant proportions, and hallmark Italian styling.

Distinctive design elements include twin air intake scoops on the hood, slender A-pillars for unobstructed visibility, and a chrome-framed windshield that enhances the car’s open-air elegance. The body lines flow seamlessly from front to rear, with restrained chrome accents and a balanced stance that reflect Touring’s mastery of proportion and detail.

Mechanical & Driving Experience

Under the hood is a 2.0-liter inline-four engine producing 115 horsepower—more than adequate to propel the lightweight 1,200 kg cabriolet with vigor. The engine is paired with a factory five-speed manual transmission featuring a center-mounted shifter, offering a refined and engaging driving experience.

The car has been professionally inspected and serviced, and is reported to be in excellent mechanical condition. It starts easily, runs smoothly, and delivers a confident, composed ride. The gearbox shifts cleanly, and the engine pulls strongly through the rev range, making it ideal for both spirited drives and relaxed touring.

Restoration & Condition

In 2015–2016, the car underwent a full restoration by a specialist, with attention paid to every detail of its mechanical systems, bodywork, and interior. The craftsmanship is evident throughout, from the panel fitment to the finish quality. The paintwork gleams, the chrome is polished, and the interior materials are fresh and correct.

The condition is described by the seller as near-perfect, with no known mechanical issues and only minimal signs of use. The restoration preserved the car’s originality while ensuring it is fully road-ready and reliable.

Interior & Features

Inside, the cabin reflects the understated luxury of the era, with elegant instrumentation, classic switchgear, and comfortable seating for four. The layout is driver-focused, with clear sightlines and a tactile connection to the road. The windshield’s slim frame and minimal pillars offer panoramic visibility, enhancing the open-air experience.

Summary

This 1959 Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider is a rare opportunity to acquire one of the most elegant and exclusive open-top grand tourers of its time. With Touring coachwork, a factory five-speed manual, and a professionally restored drivetrain, it blends classic Italian design with modern usability. Offered by a private seller and showing just 11,000 miles, this Spider is ready for concours display, vintage rallies, or weekend drives through scenic backroads.

A true collector’s piece—refined, rare, and unmistakably Alfa Romeo.
