A beautiful 2008 Alfa Romeo Spider 2.2 JTS, presented in superb condition with just 85,500 km and a single Cyprus owner since 2013, when it was imported from the UK. Finished in deep, glossy Nero with tan leather interior, heated and electric seats, and upgraded Pioneer sound and touchscreen system, it blends classic Italian design with modern comfort. Recently serviced (under 1,000 km ago at CIC) and benefits from a fully reconditioned roof mechanism. Presented in great, honest condition with MOT and cruise control, this Spider is ready to be enjoyed top-down. The car has clearly been cherished, showing only light, age-appropriate use and retaining the sharp lines and deep lustre that define Alfa’s collaboration with design house Pininfarina.
Under the sculpted bonnet lies Alfa’s lively 2.2-litre JTS engine, producing 185hp and delivering its power through a smooth and engaging six-speed manual transmission. The car pulls cleanly through the rev range, with the characteristic growl that makes every drive an event. It feels agile and well-balanced, offering both precision and comfort — whether cruising along the coast or carving through mountain roads. You can find full specifications and dimensions here.
The exterior remains beautifully preserved, presenting with a rich, mirror-like shine that enhances the car’s elegant proportions. The Pininfarina-designed bodywork still turns heads today, its triple-lamp front design and sculpted rear arches exuding a sense of restrained aggression. The car sits on its original multi-spoke 19-inch Alfa alloy wheels, which show minor marks consistent with age but retain their charm and factory finish. The soft top, recently fully reconditioned, operates flawlessly, folding away neatly at the touch of a button. The headlights, tail lamps, and trim remain original, and the car presents honestly, showing only light signs of careful use. One of the rear lamps displays some condensation, a typical quirk of these models, but it does not affect operation or aesthetics.
This is the Limited Edition model (2000 made worldwide) and inside, the cabin offers a warm, inviting atmosphere with its premium Italian Frau leather upholstery in Tan colour and brushed-aluminium accents. The heated and electrically adjustable seats provide excellent comfort and support, and the leather throughout the interior has been well cared for. The driver’s seat shows some wear on the bolster, a normal sign of entry and exit over the years, and something that adds character to an otherwise beautifully preserved interior. Every switch and control functions as intended, and the car’s cruise control and Start/Stop system contribute to a surprisingly modern driving experience.
The only departure from factory specification is the Pioneer touchscreen head unit and speaker system, a tasteful and welcome upgrade that elevates the in-car experience. The modern interface offers Bluetooth connectivity, superior audio clarity, and hands-free phone functions — a meaningful improvement over the outdated original system. Otherwise, the car remains completely unmodified, staying true to Alfa’s original design and mechanical purity.
Mechanically, this Spider is in excellent health, with only minor notes on it’s mechanical inspection. The engine starts eagerly, idles smoothly, and delivers strong performance. Steering and suspension feel tight, and the car’s braking system performs with confidence. The last full service was completed less than 1,000 km ago by CIC, and the car benefits from a valid MOT, making it ready to drive and enjoy immediately. The underbody and engine bay present cleanly, a reflection of careful ownership and regular maintenance over the years.
Few cars manage to blend such distinctive style, driver involvement, and emotional appeal at this price point. The Alfa Romeo Spider offers a rare opportunity to enjoy Pininfarina design, a manual gearbox, and genuine Italian flair in one beautifully balanced package. Whether admired as a weekend classic or used as a stylish daily driver, it remains one of the most characterful convertibles of its generation.
Presented in great, honest condition, this example stands out not because it’s over-restored, but because it has been loved, maintained, and used exactly as Alfa intended — as a car to be driven and enjoyed.
A truly captivating example of Alfa Romeo’s last pure roadster — ready to be driven, admired, and loved.
