Vehicle Description

To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION at RM Sothebys' Essen event, 11 - 12 April 2019. Estimate: €70.000 - €100.000 Offered from 23 years of single ownership Comprehensively restored by marque specialists in the UK and Italy Just over 6,000 km covered since restoration Early and stunning example of Touring's 2000 Spider Introduced at the 1957 Turin Auto Show, the Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider is arguably one of the most iconic cars ever produced by Alfa Romeo or Carrozzeria Touring. With a price tag only 100,000 lire larger than the Berlina, the short-wheelbase Spider represented grand touring in its finest form. Powered by a 112-bhp 1,975-cc inline four-cylinder engine, it outsold its closed sibling by nearly 600 units. Although not much is known of this specific 2000 Spider's life in America, we know that it was delivered new through Max Hoffman's famous New York dealership in March of 1959 and that it spent time in Louisiana, as a sticker that left an imprint on the windshield prior to restoration suggests. According to customs documents accompanying the car's history file, it was imported to the UK by David Kaufman of London in 1989, who probably took it apart for a nut-and-bolt restoration which never took place. Still dismantled, the car was purchased by the current owner in 1996 as a restoration project It underwent a complete restoration by specialists Andrew Thorogood in London and Paolo Bergia in Pinerolo, Turin, where painstaking attention to originality was paid. Amazingly, during the restoration no rust was found, and no major metalwork was needed. Further work has been carried out between 2006 and 2011 to ensure a perfect condition throughout. The car was refinished in the quintessential colour of Rosso Alfa, and the seats were trimmed in leather instead of the original leatherette. Having covered just over 6,000 km km since the completion of the restoration, this gorgeous coachbuilt Alfa Romeo is a wonderful opportunity to acquire one of the most desirable and lesser known Spiders from the years of 'La Dolce Vita'. • 23 Jahre in aktuellem Besitz • Von Markenfachleuten in Gro�britannien und Italien umfangreich restauriert • Seit Restaurierung nur knapp �ber 6.000 km zur�ckgelegt • Fr�hes, spektakul�res Exemplar eines 2000 Spider von Touring Der 1957 auf dem Automobilsalon in Turin vorgestellte Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider ist wohl eines der ber�hmtesten Automobile von Alfa Romeo oder der Carrozzeria Touring. Mit einem Preis von nur 100.000 Lire oberhalb der Berlina repr�sentierte der Spider italienischen Gran Turismo in seiner besten Form. Angetrieben von einem 1975 cm�-Reihenvierzylinder mit 114 PS, �berfl�gelte der offene 2000 seine Limousinenverwandtschaft gar um fast verkaufte 600 Einheiten. Obwohl �ber das fr�he Leben dieses 2000 Spider in den USA nicht viel bekannt ist, wissen wir, dass er im M�rz 1959 neu �ber Max Hoffmans ber�hmtes Autohaus ausgeliefert wurde. Dass er einmal eine Zeit im US-Bundesstaat Louisiana verbracht hat, ist aus einem Abdruck eines Aufklebers zu vermuten, der vor der Restaurierung an der Windschutzscheibe gefunden wurde. Den Zollunterlagen zufolge, die zu den Papieren dieses Autos geh�ren, wurde er 1989 nach Gro�britannien importiert durch einen Herrn namens David Kaufman aus London, der ihn wahrscheinlich zum Zwecke einer Restaurierung auseinandernahm, die niemals stattfand. So erwarb der heutige Besitzer 1996 das Auto noch immer in Teilen als Restaurierungsobjekt. Anschlie�end wurde der Spider durch die Markenspezialisten Andrew Thorogood in London und Paolo Bergia in Pinerolo, Turin, einer Komplettrestaurierung unterzogen. Dabei wurde kein Rost gefunden, was gro�e Blecharbeiten �berfl�ssig machte. Zwischen 2006 und 2011 wurden weitere Arbeiten durchgef�hrt, um einen rundum perfekten Zustand zu erzielen. Dabei wurde der Wagen auch in der Alfa Farbe schlechthin, Rosso Alfa, neulackiert und die Sitze statt mit dem originalen Vinyl mit schwarzem Leder bezogen. Mit nur wenig mehr als 6.000 km nach der Restaurierung gefahrenen Kilometern pr�sentiert sich dieser wundersch�ne handgefertigte Alfa Romeo als eine wunderbare Gelegenheit, eines der attraktivsten und dennoch weniger bekannten Spider aus der �ra des �La Dolce Vita" zu erwerben.
