The Alfa Romeo 105 series Spider is one of the most admired drop-head sports cars to come out of Italy. Launched in 1966, its radical new look was not immediately welcomed. As prospective buyers gradually warmed to the model, enhancements were introduced including more powerful engines and higher-spec body and interior fittings. Despite its inauspicious start, production of this much-admired car lasted for twenty-seven years, finally stopping in 1993. Jim Talbott and Andrew Brown pay homage to the 105/115 series Alfa Spider. With over 330 photographs, many specially commissioned, this new book describes the Alfa Romeo company history including its philosophy of incorporating driver appeal into all of its products, resulting in some of the most desirable vehicles of their age; it details the evolution of the 105/115 series through four distinct body styles; lists the technical design specifications and every major version of the Spider and finally, discusses the issues and challenges of finding and owning a classic Spider.

The 124 Spider was based on a shortened Fiat 124 floorpan and never officially imported into Britain. It could have been a rival to the MGB and with a production run of 190,000 came close to matching the Abingdon total. In 1974 it was produced exclusively for the American market. In 1979 it became known as the Spider 2000 with the bigger engine and was available with a turbocharged engine in 1981. Fiat withdrew the car from America in 1982. Pininfarina took over the production and it was renamed the Spidereuropa but it was still a slow seller and finally ceased in 1985. This is a book of contemporary road and comparison tests, specification and technical data, driver's impressions, new model introductions, background. Models covered include: 1438cc, 1608cc, 1756cc, 124 Abarth Rally, 1995cc, Turbo, Azzurra, Spidereuropa.
