Spider 1300 Junior (105.91S), 1976
Antti Reenpää

I had been looking for some time a Spider in an orginal condition. My aim was to and a second series "Kamm tail" -junior for its more beatiful shape and dashboard. Ideal colour would be Pininfarina red. In the autumn 2004 I saw an advertisment in our club's web page, which met my needs. That 1300 Spider was imported from Germany some years earlier. It was already been registered to Finnish Historical Car Registry (Museoautorekisteri), but during the following winter I tore it quit completely into parts and restored its interior and chassis. After driving it the first summer I fellt that it needed it. Now the car gives excellent driving experience. The chassis is completely original, and it is suprising to me that so many Alfas have fellt better with original chassis then the tuned ones. Comfort suites the Spider and performance is not an issue. Spider gives you good feelings anyway.
