Mangoletsi, the UK’s largest and longest-established Alfa Romeo dealership is pleased to announce that the stylish new Alfa Spider convertible has recently arrived at its Knutsford, Cheshire showroom, and is already proving a hit. The new Alfa Spider is available for immediate ordering and delivery, as well as for test drives.

The stylish and sporty new Alfa Spider continues with a fabulous long tradition from Alfa Romeo in building highly desirable convertible sportscars, the name “Spider” is quite simply synomymous with the Italian brand, evoking memories of stunning cars that have captured the hearts of car buyers for more than half a century. This latest model to bear the iconic tag picks up the banner in the best possible fashion and arrives exactly four decades after the first ‘Spider’ was launched in 1966.

The arrival in the UK of the Alfa Spider completes the new ‘family’ model line-up, which also comprises of the Alfa 159, 159 Sportwagon and Brera. Since its glamorous launch at the Geneva Motor Show last year, where it firmly captured the attention of the world’s media and an attentive public, the Alfa Spider, which was developed in conjunction with Pininfarina, just like the original, has scooped the title of “Cabrio of the Year” and become the European prestige convertible of choice.

“It’s simply gorgeous,” says Mangoletsi’s Managing Director Fraser Hudson, “the new Alfa Spider ably continues a long-standing and very fine tradition, and for our many customers who have been weaned on Alfa Romeo’s rich heritage of producing exciting convertibles, it will be the logical next step. I also think that with its superb looks, very accomplished chassis, choice of powerful petrol and turbodiesel engines, oppulent interiors and class-leading array of safety feature,s it will quickly attract a swage of new admirers many who have not considered the merits of the Italian brand before.”

“We’ve had the highly accomplished new Alfa Spider in the showroom for several weeks now and interest has been high,” says Mangoletsi Alfa Romeo Sales Specialist Craig Aspin, “knowledge of the model is very deep amongst potential customers and we have already taken an impressive number of orders, and we are now beginning deliveries. That a truly dramatic new award-winning convertible arrives in the showroom around March and April, just as the weather is improving and as we head towards the summertime, also helps. It does focus the joys of a unique car like this, and everything it is able to offer.”

The Alfa Spider is available with either the 185 bhp 2.2 or 260 bhp 3.2 V6 JTS petrol engines which both make use of Alfa Romeo’s ‘Twin Phaser’ continious variator technology to control the inlet and exhaust valves. The latter V6 unit comes with the innovative Q4 permanent four-wheel-drive Torsen transmission system and it dashes from 0-100 km/h in just 7 seconds. Inside there is a choice of luxurious and cosseting interiors and an array of the latest infotelematic devices, while under the skin a quadrilateral front and a multilink rear suspension arrangement means it offers superb roadholding and chassis stability, all features working in conjunction with class-leading safety features, including ABS, EBD, VDC, ASR, MSR and Hill Holder.

“The Alfa Spider has a unique place in automotive history,” adds Craig, “no other carmaker can claim a convertible that as firmly embedded into the myth and passion of Alfa Romeo as this car is; quite simply who can ever forget Dustin Hoffman in ‘The Graduate’, the film that shot the original Spider into global awareness back in 1967?”
