1963 ALFA ROMEO 2600 SPYDER SUPERLEGGERA
COACHWORK BY TOURING
Registration No. 04C1490
Chassis No. AR192083
Red with white vinyl interior and a black convertible top
Engine: six cylinder-in-line twin overhead camshafts, 2,582cc, 165bhp at 5,900rpm; Gearbox: five-speed manual; Suspension: front, double A-arm, sway bar, rear, solid axle with longitudinal radius arms; Brakes: front disc, rear drum. Left hand drive.
Bodied by renowned Italian coachbuilder Touring (known for creating some of the most exquisite early Ferrari and later Maserati designs), the Alfa Romeo 2600 Spyder closely resembled the Vignale-bodied 3500 Maserati roadster. The 2600 was introduced in late 1962 and, although similar to the 2000 series in design, it offered a different grille, bonnet, windscreen and body trim. On the Sprint and Spyder - as on offer here - the car had a horizontal air scoop at the front of the bonnet and for 1963 huge auxiliary lights were fitted below the headlamps. Most noticeable however was the increased horsepower and performance from the much larger engine.
Although it is a fine line to cross for an Alfa Romeo, the 2600 was more of a sports tourer at heart than an out-and-out sports car. The Spyder cockpit was an enticement to sports car enthusiasts with an eye-catching instrument cluster, beautifully executed in the classic Italian tradition with large round gauges behind a stylish steering wheel. Classified as a 2+2, the rear seating was there only in case you needed it, since legroom was all but non-existent. Lighter than the Sprint Coupe, the Spyder had quicker steering and better acceleration. Only 2,255 Spyders were built between 1962 and 1965, and more were imported to the United States than any other model of the series.
Formerly from California, the car offered here is a very good example of the spirited Italian sports cars. It appears to be in good overall condition. The exterior red paint shows some ageing, however, it is still quite presentable. The engine bay and motor appear to be in original condition and would benefit from some detailing. The white vinyl interior also appears original, but it is possible that minor restoration work was carried out some time ago. The black convertible top appears well fitted and in very good overall condition. The brightwork is respectable and of similar condition to the overall presentation. We understand that the car has not been run for two years, therefore we would recommend a full inspection before committing it to everyday road use. Finished in the classic combination of red with black hood, this Touring bodied Alfa 2600 exemplifies one of the great, economical and fun Italian cars of the 1960s.
