Alfa Romeo Spider Squareback 1982

Modern driving experience, open top, dolce vita at the Cape.

If you love Portofino , grappa and espresso, you will want to take an Alfa Spider to the golden mile at Camps Bay 's beach or to the fishing harbour of Houtbay .

The Alfa Romeo Spider became world-famous through the movie "The Graduate" with Dustin Hoffman. The classic 4-cylinder, 2-litre engine combined with a 5-speed transmission still forms the basis of the best modern driving fun in Alfa-style.

Fold down the roof, don your sunglasses and a cap or scarf and you are ready to enter the car lover's paradise in and around Cape Town . Our Alfas are among our most popular cars - next to the Mercedes SL fleet - because they uniquely combine the driving and operating convenience of modern vehicles with the looks and driving experience of a vintage car.

The boot of our Fastback Spiders is large enough for the suitcases and golf bags that you will want to take along when you intend to spend one or two weeks driving up the Garden Route and returning to Cape Town via Route 62, which takes you through the semi-desert of the Small Karoo and across several mountain passes.

Just think that the Alfa Spider, when it was first introduced to the world, was almost as expensive as the Jaguar E-Type! If you want to rent a Jaguar E-Type for half price, you drive an Alfa Spider.
