I jumped into a 2015 4C Spider over the winter. My dad had Spiders and a Milano when I was a kid and I couldn't help myself from jumping in before doing the research I should have. I bought at a discount knowing it had been tracked a few times but the price reward seemed decent based on what I...

Hi, I just bought this amazing Veloce 200 spider, One owner, California/Arizona gem. Running well and with nothing missing. I am just cleaning it up and getting a few repairs done, like exhaust. I found it has the 1977 HT leads!!

My wife and I made an impulse buy of a 1983 Spider. It had oversize 17" chrome rims when we bought it. My first job was to replace them with the stock 14" rims and tires. Here is what we had done so far with the help of a local mechanic. I am sure I have spent way more then the car is worth...

Hello All, Just a quick line to introduce myself and ask a few Q's... I just purchased a 1991 Spider Veloce today! Couldn't be more tickled, was out looking for something fun, something i could get into, and then I found this, this fella lives way out in the country, and their just haven't...

Buonasera! Well, I can't sleep, so I thought I should write! I just bought and drove home my first (new) alfa in 25 years: a silver '88 Milano Verde. :) It will need some work (the oil sender is supposedly leaking, and the water pump needs replacing). Hopefully I can link up with some of...
