  • The kings of the classic sports car game are the MGB and MX5, but Paul Wager’s favourite is the Alfa Romeo Spider. So much so, he’s owned his Series 4 for 23 years!

    Will rub many wrong way, but this is so much better than the MG B. For starters it has got a properly sorted independent suspension front and rear, and twin cam engine. MG B is easier to drive but it is not as sophisticated or fun to drive as the Spider. Of course the Alfa is (in)famous for rusting and breaking down far too often, but one doubts the MG to be any better in that regard.

      It's all a matter of preference, but we've got a soft spot for both!

    Great stuff. That car ticks a lot of the right boxes.

    It’s got electric Windows! In theory. Ive had to redo the mechanism loads of times on mine.

    Lovely video and beautiful car, even if you insulted my 1970 MGB!

      Alfa Spyder much better car than MGB. It's faster, handle and corners much better. No comparison. My first car was a '70 MGB. British racing green, wire wheels , four speed over drive and three windshield wipers.

    I have a height of 183 cm, is it comfortable in the cabin? Do your knees not rest on the steering wheel?

      Paul is about your height and fitted just fine, but you might need a smaller steering wheel for some knee room!

    I had one as a daily driver for ten years… beautiful design, but Alfa never invested in the mechanicals. It is essentially a facelift of the original from the late 60’s. Not unbearable, but you get better handling and performance from a Mazda Miata. Essentially, you have the marque and the sound, and great style. It is fun to drive, but wobbly and weak.

    Comparing an Alfa to a MGB..? It’s like comparing a race car to a tractor.
