Saw this nice one in Brighton a few weekends ago.  It would be great to see as many spiders at this years Spettcolo  as possible - especially the rarer one like the 105 series 3 and 4.

Not many people would realise that the 105 (S4) was the last rear wheel drive production car made by the company.

John try telling that to the 75 owners.

The series 4 spider does certainly sound different compared to the carby twin cam. I know of someone who owns a british racing green one that he is selling. If he's still got it for the show i will persuade him to bring it along

Interesting the series 4 Spider was made into 1993, a year after the 75 stopped production.  However the ES30 RZ was made through till 1994 I think.  It also depends on whether you count the 8c Competizione as an Alfa or a Maserati...

So the 8C is a Masserati with an Alfa Badge; and the ES 30 was a limited production model in coupe and spider form from Zagato.

Well then ....  after the sucessful run with the 75, the last production factory RWD was the last of the 105's. 

They got a good run from that platform !
