FINALLY got some good photos of the Spider! A little backstory on the color: I bought this car just over ten years ago with this spectacular non-original "Verde da Corso Inglese" paint job. When I look inside the engine bay I can see the original "Pine Green" on the inner fenders, but this is a much darker color than the original Alfa. After owning British sports cars for decades, I had to fall in love with this color, but it wasn't till a few years ago that I found out where it came from.
A local exotic-car dealership (anybody want to buy a Spijker? :-) had a Father's Day car show a year or two ago, with everything from Lamborghinis and Ferraris to someone's absolutely pristine Plymouth Duster. Big fun! I parked this Spider on the lawn and a few minutes later, a 1967 Jaguar E Type pulled in next to me.
The two cars were EXACTLY the same shade of green. We could have shared touch-up paint, if the E Type had any scratches (which it didn't...) So now I know what to ask for when I finally have the Spider redone.
Here's one with my "other" two-seat convertible in the background:
Another with a better sense of the car's actual color:
They're all on my Alfa Romeo set on Flickr:
