Once a while, I do come across old cars that turn out to be special in their own way, be it their rarity, their styling or sometimes both. This 1964 Alfa Romeo 2600 Spider ticks all boxes when I chanced upon it unexpectedly!
The 2600 (internal code Tipo 106) was first introduced in 1962, as a replacement for its predecessor, the 2000 (Tipo 102). The main difference was the larger-capacity engine along with minor facelifts to the various body types: sedan (Berlina), convertible (Spider) and coupe (Sprint). For the Spider, it featured a revised grille pattern and a single hood scoop, compared with 2 previously.
However, the 2600 did not sell well in general: it did not stand out from the current crop of Alfa cars and had poorer handling due to the heavier engine. The styling for the Spider was perceived to be more aristocratic, with comparisons made with Ferraris of that time. As such, 2600 Spiders have become more collectible today. It was powered by a 2584 cc straight-6 engine, allowing it to reach a top speed of 200 km/h with an acceleration of 9.8 seconds [0-100 km/h]. It was 4500 mm long and weighed 1280 kg.
Production for the Spider ended in 1965, while the entire 2600 range was ended in 1968. 2,255 Spiders were made, of which only 103 were in RHD! This particular unit has been imported from the UK, still carrying its original registration, and it should be the only one here currently. I do not know whether it has been registered in Singapore as of yet between the 2 years since I saw this, although it is likely that the lucky owner may let it free on our roads due to its rarity. However, finding spare parts and restoration works for this car would be quite tedious, since they were made in small amounts. Perhaps you may see it soon..!
Very informative and useful historical post. I see you have a lot of other cool stuff available at your website, simply bookmarking it to check in spare time. Thanks and keep the good work up.
