Dear All
I have a 75 Spider and in my internet wanderings seem to constantly read that the Spider went to hanging pedals in the early seventies. I am running a car that has FLOOR mounted pedals.
I registered it at the TAC and they identified by chassis and engine No's as a 75.
Is all this history stuff just incorrect? Would the factory have just pumped out whatever it had?
Could my Spider be bastardised?
Can anyone shed any light on this?
Cheers
I don't have any of my references in front of me, but I think the left-hand-drive cars went to hanging pedals. The right-hand-drive cars remained with floor mounted pedals till much much later on.
Given that most of the internet is american, not surprising...
cheers,
Evan.
Somewhere around Series2 1750 production (1970-ish) Berlinas, Spiders and GTVs went to pendant pedals in LHD markets, while RHD markets kept the floor pedals until the end of 105 series production in the late 70s. All S3 & S4 spiders (of which yours isnt) were pendant whether sold in RHD or LHD markets.
Oh guys
That makes me feel so much better!
To know that the evidence points to the car being a bona fide RHD import.
Hard for an Alfa newbie like me to tell.
Irregardless, Love that car!
