Vehicle Description
As Alfas all-new flagship line, the 2600 marked the end of the
Italian companys long-standing tradition of producing
four-cylinder cars. Offered as a Spider, four-door Berlina, or a
two-door Sprint, the 2600 was available to customers in three very
distinctive body styles. The all-alloy 2.6 liter inline
six-cylinder engine, like its predecessors, made use of
dual-overhead camshafts. Less than 2,300 2600 Spiders were ever
produced.
Considered one of the most underrated Italian tourers of the
1960s, here is an ideal drivers steed for distance tours, rallies
or continued use after recommissioning. Much more spacious and
practical than the smaller 750/101/105 Alfas, this particular
Spider received its current livery in years past, while still
retaining many original components and a recorded mileage of
34,501.
The Alfas paintwork is older, while the cabins upholstery appears
much more recent - including seat covers, door panels, RetroSound
radio, rear seat/boot cover, carpeting and supplemental rubber Alfa
Romeo / Superleggera mats. The Spider is complete with both
convertible soft top and rare hardtop with stand. 165R400 Michelin
X tires are dated 2015. The 2600s engine bay is tidy and complete.
The motor will currently run on an auxiliary fuel source with solid
compression readings, however, a mechanical inspection and
recommissioning is required prior to use.
Engine Compression: 170, 175, 175, 180, 170, 165 psi
Overall, this rare 2600 Spider is the ideal example to service and
use for tours, rallies and club events. With their broad torque
band, classic styling and versatility, once sorted, 2600s
inherently balanced characteristics are known to easily tackle the
most challenging roads.
