The Appeal
The FIAT 124 Sport Spider is a car that exudes Italian flair and style. Introduced in the late 60s, it quickly became a favourite for those seeking a blend of sporty performance and open-top motoring, offering an alternative to Alfa Romeo's 105 Series Spider, also designed and built by Pininfarina.
This commendably original 1977 example is in lovely condition, having spent much of its life on the dry roads of sunny California. Imported to the UK in 2018 and fitted with the less ungainly European specification bumpers, it's a great example that's reportedly ready to enjoy.
