Unusual/Rare Spider/GTV colours

<---- As you can see, my spider is 'Verde Acido' - Acid Green.

I have been told that only 100 spiders were made in this colour, although I'm very prepared to accept that this could be nonsense. I now think the spider looks great in this colour but it's initial loudness took some getting used to. Lots of Italians commented on it during Europe road trip last summer (mostly 'Rosso, Rosso !')

I've seen one yellow spider, which looked great, really like that colour.

What colour is yours? and do you know of any rare colours? Anyone else have acido?

Honest opinions of Verde Acido very welcome.

I've seen one other Spider in Acido, somewhere near the Trafford centre, Manchester. Never any GTV's though.

It is an acquired taste, but it does grow on you. At least it's (fairly) unique. Now I've got used to it I wouldn't change it and in certain situations/light it can look truly stunning. At least the original owner had the sense not to spec red leather!, the paintwork sets off the black leather quite nicely. I'll try to get some more pics uploaded.

It also has the dubious benefit that spilling antifreeze on the paintwork would probably have zero visual effect. :lol:

Nuvola Blue :D

Crap Vid but it's the right colour :thumbs:




The rarest colour for a GTV was a one off Zoe Yellow it was a comission job and the guy had to wait months for it :cool:

It then had Cup wings skirts and spoilers fitted :)

I got me a Zoe Yellow Spider. Not super rare but not a massive number around.

Acid green :confused: :thumbs: I used to have a VW beetle in Fiat yellow/green - an interesting colour indeed!:D

The Beetle looks great, it's a similar colour but the spider is much more green and less yellow. In certain light the acido can look quite yellow too.

Would love to see a pic of your Zoe Spider ?

Never seen a Coventry Green, It looks similar to British Racing Green & I like it. Got any more pics ? The 3 x Acido sightings make me feel common as muck now :rolleyes:

I too like the Zoe Yellow, wonder if the Mrs would let me have another.... :tut:

I saw a Nuvola Blue GTV last year at the Tatton Park Alfa Experience and managed to take a snap as he passed my car. The pic doesn't do the colour justice but the guy driving it saw me taking the pic (and ogling) and waved :lol:
That's definately the colour I saw on the new V6 spider, can't be many of those about and I bet stone chips are a bugger to repair :lol:

I love the acid green - think I would probably choose it over red or silver for a spider. It is my second favourite colour, after Atoll Blue of course, which is undoubtedly the best. Keep looking at it until you agree.

Some of the launch 147s were in the acid green and I warmed to them immediately too. Alfas have the personality to carry off a brave colour.

Wise words !

Atoll Blue, another new one on me - and another one I've never seen in the flesh. I had an Audi in a very similar colour, looks great !

Really like the black one's too, especially if it had tan leather. But, as much as I dote on my Spider, I'm not sure my waxing arm could take the strain of owning a black one.

Pics of Spider at track day prove to me again once and for all that they are the best looking Alfas (along with GTV obviously) since 1980, in my humble of humble (maybe biased:) ) opinion's......................whatever the colour!! sooooo pretty.....
