Alfa Romeo Spider Classic Car Hire
living with the alfa romeo spider
With the top down the Alfa Romeo Spider from Great Escape Classic Car Hire is a magical way to travel in any weather. You sit low in comfortable, figure-hugging sports seats facing a dashboard and interior that has hardly changed since 1966. A light clutch, slick gearchange, strong brakes and precise steering have always been hallmarks of the Alfa Romeo Spider and make it an easy car in which to feel comfortable.
Rear wheel drive and plenty of grip make the car great fun in corners, particularly fast, sweeping right-handers. Our car is fitted with polyurethane suspension bushes that sharpen up the handling.
For a fairly small open-top sports car, the Alfa Romeo Spider is very practical, which makes it ideal for classic car hire. There are two luggage areas – a large space behind the rear seats and a large, secure boot.
The hood is one of the simplest to use of any cabriolet – just release two handles above the windscreen and lower it into the space behind the seats. There is very little wind buffeting - even with the windows down – and clever use of the quarterlights can ensure that even the most expensive hairdo arrives intact.
But the Alfa Romeo Spider isn’t just about the summer sun. For classic car rental year round the powerful heater keeps the cockpit nice and cosy in the winter and rain simply blows over the windscreen.
