Remember the 1966 Alfa Romeo 1600 Duetto Spider in "The Graduate?" Besides the Simon & Garfunkel soundtrack, this movie is remembered for two things: 1. The famous line: “Mrs. Robinson, you’re trying to seduce me!” and 2. The 1966 Alfa Romeo 1600 Duetto Spider driven by Benjamin Braddock. This car was manufactured from 1966 until 1994, after which Alfa Romeo pulled out of the North American market (1995). We are seeing new Alfa Romeos on the road again and the dealerships are popping up in the U.S. If you are an Alfa Romeo lover, this is a great news. If you decide to buy a vintage Alfa Romeo 1600 Duetto Spider, or one of the new models, there is a better way of handling it depending on the vehicle location and port of export.

🚗💨 Ferrari vs RollsRoyce and Maserati When you buy a #Ferrari, they’ll deliver it to your nearest dealer for free, but if you want to collect it from the legendary Maranello factory, you’ll pay $500 for the tour! So, in reality, you’re paying for the collection of your own car. 🏎️💨 #Maserati, once associated with Ferrari, is now innovating alongside #RollsRoyce by targeting yacht and jet shows 🛥️✈️ instead of traditional car exhibitions where these cards appear to be expensive. When you’re buying a Gulfstream or Sunseeker, a $250,000 car becomes an #ImpulseBuy – brilliant strategy! 💡💸 💳 Bonus fact: Letting customers pay with #contactless cards makes purchases feel 15% cheaper. It’s all in the psychology of spending! 👌

This year was the 46th.” – Keith Martin Click here to read more: https://lnkd.in/gG_GAHEN #alfa #alfaromeo #alfaspider #vintagecar #classiccar #carblog #automotiveblog #blog #classiccars #carnews #automotivenews #auctionnews #sportscarmarket

"In 2023, 74% of our new cars were sold to existing clients." – Ferrari's CEO, Benedetto Vigna The Ferrari Owners Clubs cater to a select group – those who hold the keys to a Ferrari.
