The Alfa Romeo Spider (105/115 series) is a roadster produced in four series (‘Duetto’, ‘Fastback’, ‘Aerodinamica’ and ‘Nuovo’ over 120’000 units in total) from 1966 to 1993.

Widely regarded as a design classic, it remained in production for almost three decades with only minor aesthetic and mechanical changes.

The three first series were assembled by Pininfarina in Grugliasco and the fourth series in San Giorgio Canavese.
The last Spider was produced in April 1993, it was also the last rear wheel drive Alfa Romeo produced before Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione was introduced.

The launch of the ‘Series 2’-Spider so called ‘Fastback’ (‘coda tronca’) in 1970 brought the first significant change to the exterior styling. It was introduced on the 1750 Spider Veloce, with the original's distinctive elongated round tail changed to a more conventional cut-off tail, called the "Kamm tail", as well as improving the luggage space. Numerous other small changes took place both inside and out, such as a slightly different grille, new doorhandles, a more raked windscreen, top-hinged pedals and improved interior trim.

1971 saw the Spider Veloce get a new, larger powerplant - a 1962 cc, 132 PS (98 kW) unit - and consequently the name was changed from 1750 Spider Veloce to 2000 Spider Veloce.
The 1600 Spider restarted production a year later as the Spider 1600 Junior, and was visually identical to the 1300.

1974 saw the introduction of the rare, factory request, Spider-Targa. Based upon the Spider, it featured a Porsche style solid rear window and lift out roof panels, all made out of black GRP type material. Less than 2,000 models of such type were ever made and was the only part solid roof Spider until the introduction of the factory crafted hard top.

The 1300 and 2000 cars were modified in 1974 and 1975 respectively to include two small seats behind the front seats, becoming a "two plus two" four seater. The 1300 model was discontinued in 1977.
