Basic Information and History

The Alfa Romeo Spider 3.0 V6 Lusso is one of the brand’s most iconic open sports cars – here powered by Giuseppe Busso’s masterful V6 engine, producing 218 horsepower. Few cars convey the same sense of genuine Italian passion and driving pleasure, and the model has become highly sought-after among enthusiasts worldwide.

With its characteristic styling and its soulful six-cylinder heart, this example on Bidders Highway embodies everything that makes Alfa Romeo a cult marque.

This very well-maintained, Swedish-sold Phase 2 example has only had three owners and shows exceptionally low mileage. The current owner has kept it since 2015. The odometer currently reads 34,822 km, but the main instrument cluster was replaced under warranty in 2004 at 8,100 km, meaning the car has actually covered about 43,000 km in total.

The Spider has never been left unused for extended periods but instead carefully driven during every summer season since new. It has always been stored indoors and taken off the road during the winter months.

Complete documentation from new is included – service book, manuals, service records, inspection certificates, and the original purchase receipt. The car has been continuously serviced by Alfa Romeo specialist workshops and has passed annual inspections without remarks under the current owner.

Finished in classic Alfa Red with Racing Black Momo leather interior and a manual soft-top, this is a timeless classic.

The car comes with all original keys (two standard, one master), the key code card, a Carguard alarm system, the original tool kit, and a spare wheel.

Trivia: The model is famous for both its wedge-shaped Pininfarina design and its charismatic naturally aspirated V6 – a configuration that disappeared from the new car market only a few years later. This is a Spider for the discerning enthusiast and collector.

Summary

The 2001 Alfa Romeo Spider 3.0 V6 Lusso is a top-class roadster with both driving pleasure and collector’s value.

Exceptionally well-kept, Swedish-sold, sparingly driven with only three owners, full documentation, and very low mileage – making this one of the most attractive examples on the market.

For those seeking a genuine Italian driving experience, classic design, and long-term collectability, this is a chance to bid on a dream car that truly stands out.
