The most beautiful, I believe, may be this one...

Alfa Romeo Giulia SS


...but it's not a Spider.

I love the Duetto (the middle pic) but have to go with the older one in this comparison. Clean, compact lines in a classically shaped body. The later spiders are better cars, but they don't have the charm.
Like a fine Detroit wine, this vehicle has aged to budgetary perfection...

The picture of the Duetto is very similar to the one in my workshop awaiting restoration.

I agree that the Guilietto and Guilio are, in some ways, more attractive than the Duetto...more in the slightly extravagant style of the earlier era...more chrome and an absolutely gorgeous facia.? However, the Duetto has its attraction with its delicate sweeping lines.? They ruined it with the Kamm tail in the post '70 models.

I had to go with the Duetto.  I didn't want to at first, but if you look at it long enough, the better looking Giulietto actually looks a little British.  The Duetto's all Italy.  However, the Giulia SS is gorgeous.

I really like the new one, but I couldn't pick it in good conscience against the Giullieta.

I don't care about all that shit.  I'll be going to college to get an education at a cost to my parents.  I'm not going to fool around.

Giulietta for me, followed by the second one.

That's a sharp looking Spider.? I guess it does belong in the now category.

I, especially, like the interior...



Somewhat remenicient of the earlier Duetto...

I've always liked the 1991-94 Spiders.  The body-coloured bumpers really brought this 1960's design into the 1990's while still maintaining the classic looks of the car.
