2008 | Alfa Romeo Spider 2.2 JTS

Hello everyone, 

Emozione pura!! 

With a heavy heart, we’re parting ways with our red Bella. 

Sadly, due to working from home and other circumstances, she hasn’t been driven much lately and no longer receives the attention she deserves. She's simply too special for that!

She’s fully roadworthy and passed inspection with flying colors in April. 

She’s now good to go until April 2027—perfect timing for late summer and early autumn drives. 😊 

We’ve never had any issues with the automatic roof mechanism.

🛋️ Comfort

• Tinted windows, armrest, rear parking sensors, electric windows (see minor issues), electrically adjustable and heated mirrors, electric seats, automatic climate control, leather upholstery, leather steering wheel, multifunction steering wheel, cruise control 

• Wind deflector (for convertible)

🎶 Entertainment / Media

• Multifunction display, trip computer, CD, radio, audio & phone steering wheel controls, hands-free system (wheel), Blue&Me nav pictograms (never tested thanks to iPhone & Google Maps 😄)

🛡️ Safety

• ABS, ASR, passenger airbag, side airbags, driver knee airbag, ESP, driver airbag, fog lights, power steering, traction control, immobilizer, central locking, audible parking sensors (rear)

🧰 Extras

• 8x18” alloy wheels, sports seats, Ulter sports exhaust

🎨 Color & Interior

• Exterior color: Special red paint (original Rosso Alfa) 

• Finish: Metallic 

• Interior color: Black 

• Upholstery: Full leather

Still has the original 18" Alfa wheels, fitted with all-season tires (approx. 2,000 km). 

Also included: xenon headlights, CD radio with navigation via Blue&Me pictograms (unused), USB interface, Bluetooth, and Climatronic AC.

The open-top driving experience, paired with the unmistakable roar of the original sport exhaust, consistently delivers pure joy and a sense of dolce vita. It turns heads—not just among Alfa fans! 😊

This isn’t just a car—it’s Italian passion on four wheels! 

Driving pleasure with Amore, which we’ll truly miss. 

(Thankfully, we still have one other AR 😊)
