'70 and '90 were transition years, meaning you could find both series I and II spiders in '70 and you could find series 3 and 4 spiders in '90. Even the some of the old style '90 spiders had the Motronic FI. And yes, there were Spiders sold in the US titled as '94 models. Don't know what book you're reading, but Alfas don't necessarily go by the book.   -Jason

I was going to say - i was pretty sure they had a 94 Spider.

Yeah, but the book I read stated that Alfa stopped building the Spider in April 1993. Probably those last ones were sold as '94s.

They still build the Spider.. I saw several in Italy.

Plymouth Cricket nee Hillman Avenger. The Rootes Group included some old British names such as Sunbean and Humber. For a time Chryco made the Sunbeam Tiger which was powered by a Ford 260 V8 because they couldn't find a Mopar V8 that'd fit.   I must've confused the Cricket with the Omnirizon which was made in Europe as a Talbot when Chrysler owned Talbo-Simca.

I think Peugeot owned Chrysler of Europe around that time...

I was talking about the old-style Spiders, the ones that dated back to "The Graduate" from 1967. The Spiders you saw in Italy were most definitely the new style with the Twin Spark engine, right?

Yes, the FWD Spider based off of the Alfa GTV.

The last RWD Spiders were the 115.A2s I believe (going from memory here). I've seen some registered as a '94, probably leftovers.   Hardly an "obscure" car however.....harumpf!   Now if you had said an Alfa Montreal, well, okay!
