From $160 per day or less, drive the motherlode of all classics….updated! Almost identical in shape and layout to our 1970s Alfa Spider, the series 4 has been endowed with some thoroughly useful modern updates such as fuel injection, along with improved ride, handling and safety features. What it’s kept is the superb fun sports character and adorned in the classic Alfa red, you know you’ll be basking in the sunshine, admiring looks and a wonderful sense of enjoyment.

It’s an entertaining and engaging 2 seater sports car, for those who want the best of all worlds of classic styling, characterful simplicity but with modern mechanicals and safety features. 

Apart from being the unavoidable centre of attention? Well something different is the five speed manual gearbox is mounted more vertically in the dash than horizontally on the floor but it works really well.  The ride can feel a little jittery compared to modern cars, especially on poor surfaces, but it settles down at speed. The headroom is pretty generous for taller drivers with the roof up, (and really generous with it down). The roof can be easily unclipped and then thrown back over your head but you’ll need to get out the car to raise it again….but then you get another chance to admire it from the outside. 

The driving experience is a delight – the two litre engine loves to rev, the gear changes are crisp and it’s a fun, involving drive….with plenty of room for the luggage!

Yes an Alfa Romeo Spider S4 is a 25+ years older classic and yes it is an Alfa Romeo which doesn’t sound like a great combination in the reliability stakes. However this one is well looked after, she’s regularly serviced and has to pass the Certificate of Fitness (CoF) test required for all rental cars every 6 months. Bear in mind you don’t have much in the way of ‘modern’ safety features so you as the driver are the main safety aid,  but you do get fuel injection and  power steering.

Really good, nothing is at all tatty inside or out. The fabric roof and rear perspex window are nearly new and will certainly keep you warm and snug.

A surprisingly good amount of multiple soft bags. The boot while shallow is broad plus you have loads of extra storage space behind the seats. Please refer to the Seating & Luggage tab above for exact dimensions.

As per its older brother, one years difference would have caused much debate. For 1993 though the best driving tracks for weaving in this web are:

• If I ever lose my faith in you – Sting
• I put a spell on you – Bryan Ferry
• Fields of gold – Sting

Now we acknowledge driving music is a very subjective thing, but clearly here, we’re right. So download, hire our Portable Bluetooth Speaker & enjoy!

Hey this isn’t all about quantity, it’s more about style….but have you heard of a slow Italian sports car….?

“….you can’t be a true petrolhead until you’ve owned hired an Alfa Romeo….”
