My 88 Spider Graduate. 27000 miles, all original.

Congrats! An all original Spider with low miles and in beautiful shape is not very common. It is very nice to see. As the saying goes: "A car is original only once..."

Best regards,

Very nice car, but I thought Graduates came with steel wheels and plastic imitation phone dial hubcaps. Mostly original?

OK you got me, I forgot, but at least they are Alfa rims. Not that there is anything wrong with custom. To each their own. And yes I have the phone dials in the basement.

Not trying to be critical Mort, just helpful. I also notice you have Veloce mirrors although that apparently isn't that uncommon. My Graduate has the same mirrors (without being color keyed to my car) that yours has. Sometimes the builders just used what was left in the parts bin on that particular day and you got lucky they had red ones available, mine have black metal inserts. Like I said, a very nice looking car.
I'm just a little jealous.

Here's a better picture of my mirrors. According an options list that Enrique has posted before, these are incorrect for a Graduate even though I believe they are original to my car.
Go figure!

hey that is interesting...thanks...never take offence to info

Here's a link to that options list and an interesting discussion of similar Graduate questions.

I must correct an earlier post, that options list was originaly posted by BB member Slash not Zunige.

I'm not sure the first link worked so I've made an edit and added a second try.

Great looking car, Mort. Same appearance as the 88 we've got here at home, right down to the wheels.
