Alfa Spider SU Build
This Alfa was developed for a lady with special demands. Her Spider was not only to be beautiful, but also to look sporty, light, and elegant, and to be absolutely reliable, without the usual age-related quirks of a classic car. From an old body, the project Spider SU was born – named after the initials of its owner. The result is a red Spider that combines timeless elegance with modern everyday usability, uniquely blending driving pleasure, reliability, and comfort. Unmistakable in design – an Alfa with personality, style, and soul. A lady for the lady.
