Within a couple of weeks, orders had been received for well over 1,000 cars, despite a UK price tag of £111,000. Alfa, though, stuck by the decision to build only 500 examples of the 8C Competizione coupé but later changed its collective mind and made a further 500 Spider roadsters, making a combined total for both types of 1,000 cars.
Designed at Alfa Centro Stile in Arese, the 8C used a development of the Maserati Quattroporte double-wishbone suspension (albeit on a shorter-wheelbase chassis) and was powered by a Ferrari-built V8 engine, with final assembly taking place at the Maserati factory in Modena. The 4.7-litre V8 produced 450bhp at 7,000rpm and drove via a six-speed, semi-automatic, paddle shift gearbox.
Having debuted at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in 2005, the Spider commenced production in 2009, the 8C's transformation into a convertible having been achieved by means of a two-layer electrically operated fabric roof.
No one buys an Alfa Romeo, and certainly not one as special as the 8C, without being interested in its performance potential. Alfa claimed a 0-100km/h (0-62mph) time of 4.2 seconds and a top speed of around 290km/h (181mph) despite the fact that an 8C had reached 186mph during testing. It is hard to imagine that any of the fortunate 1,000 customers was at all dissatisfied. The Spiders all featured carbon ceramic brakes and slightly altered suspension to the coupe and are generally considered to be a better drive.
With a list price of around £175,000 – these were also considerably more expensive than the Coupe that preceded it.
Believed to be the only example in the UK finished in the stunning Grigio Magnesio (Magnesium Grey), this 8C Spider was imported by our vendor in 2015 to join an extensive Alfa Romeo collection and was UK registered in 2018 having had only one previous owner (in Italy). This example is a very rare 'full option' car with carbon paddles and steering wheel, Bose hi-fi with sub woofer and Becker navigation head unit and, rarest of all (in a Spider), the optional luggage set comprising an overnight bag and two leather suit/dress carriers (matching the interior trim), which hang over the backs of the two seats.
It is also worthwhile noting that this well cared for and little used car still has the factory-fitted protective film on the accelerator foot guard! The following items are included in the sale:
Original indoor cover in bag
Tool kit
Tyre compressor kit
Warning triangle
Soft-top in-fill panels in branded bags
All books in leather binder, as supplied
Both keys
Accompanying paperwork includes all the original manuals, copies of Italian registration documents and original factory order sheets, MoT to June 2024, and a manufacturer's Certificate of Conformity. Offered with full UK service history, and health-checked by Meridien Modena at its last service (fewer than 100 miles ago), this gorgeous 8C Spider represents a rare opportunity to acquire a limited edition Alfa Romeo supercar that can only become increasingly collectible.
