1975 Alfa Romeo Spider 2000 review from North America
"Affordable convertible for a patient owner"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front braking system: disks, pads, rotors.
Rear braking system: disks, pads, rotors.
Engine oil leaks dramatically.
Transmission fluid leaks dramatically.
Electrical system is very poor: flashers work on and off, the lighting system (low and high beams, park lights) only works on a good day...
Rust was an issue, but was taken care of by shooting fiberglass under the car.
General comments?
Don't you love a red convertible with black interior, though?
Sale price was cheap.
Drives like a race car and makes heads turn... Behind that wheel, you'll get noticed here in Canada!
