For sale is my beautiful and exceptionally rare Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider with an elegant body by Carrozzeria Touring.
With only around 3,400 vehicles produced, the Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider Touring is one of the rare open-top grand tourers of the early 1960s. Its exceptionally elegant lines, classic twin-cam engine and five-speed gearbox, fitted as standard even at that time, make it a special Italian automotive classic.

History and documentation
The vehicle has been extensively restored. The work carried out, as well as the condition at the time of the body, underbody, chassis, interior, soft top, chrome parts and paintwork, is documented by numerous photographs and a detailed, 40-page valuation report.
In 2017, a replacement gearbox was installed by a specialist workshop specializing in classic Alfa Romeo vehicles. The verifiable costs, including installation, transport and ancillary work, amounted to €9,997.42.
The valuation report from 2017 assessed the vehicle in all areas examined as condition 2+ and stated a market value of €120,000 as of the valuation date at that time. This valuation is a historical assessment of condition and value made before the current engine damage occurred.
The Centro Documentazione Alfa Romeo has issued an official factory confirmation for the chassis number. According to this document, the Spider was produced on September 7, 1960, delivered to Frankfurt on September 13, 1961, and originally manufactured in “Grigio grafite”.
Engine and technical condition
The vehicle is expressly being sold with engine damage. The engine has already been removed and is complete. The exact damage and the extent of repairs required can be assessed with the engine removed.
The engine bears the number AR 002040081 and dates from 1959. It is a period-correct engine of the correct type for the Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider Touring, but not the matching-numbers engine originally assigned to this chassis at the factory.
Due to the removed engine, the vehicle is currently not drivable. A test drive is not possible. A suitable vehicle transporter or trailer is required for collection.
The vehicle specifically includes:
- the complete removed engine
- detailed 2017 valuation report
- restoration documentation with numerous photographs
- factory confirmation from the Centro Documentazione Alfa Romeo
- invoice for the replacement gearbox installed in 2017
- available vehicle and restoration documents
The Alfa offers a knowledgeable enthusiast, collector or specialist workshop the rare opportunity to acquire an already high-quality restored and comprehensively documented Touring Spider. The known technical work required is focused in particular on repairing and reinstalling the engine, followed by recommissioning the vehicle.
Personal inspection of the vehicle and the removed engine is expressly welcome by appointment. I will be happy to send additional photographs and documents to serious interested parties.
Price: €69,500 negotiable
Additional conversion options
In addition, a very rare RIO engine with 2,300 cm³ displacement in like-new condition, as well as the matching manual gearbox, is available. A front axle with a disc brake system from the Alfa Romeo 2600 is also available.
Depending on the buyer’s wishes and subject to a separate agreement, the RIO engine including the matching manual gearbox, as well as the front axle with disc brake system, can be installed in the vehicle offered.
When converting to the disc brake system, the vehicle will also be converted to a dual-circuit braking system with brake booster. This technically modernizes the braking system and significantly improves operating safety.
The conversion work can be prepared for technical inspection and registration. The actual inspection and registration are subject to review and approval by the responsible inspection organization.
The type and scope of the conversion, the components to be used, the work required and the resulting additional costs must be agreed individually and set out in writing. The asking price of €69,500 does not include these additional components and conversion work unless otherwise agreed.
Important note: The rare RIO engine and the associated manual gearbox are offered exclusively in connection with the sale of this Alfa Romeo or an agreed conversion. A separate sale is excluded. Corresponding individual inquiries will not be considered.
