The Appeal

Pininfarina are masters of convertibles.

They've built countless open-topped cars for Ferrari, Alfa Romeo and Fiat - not to mention a vast array of other non-Italian manufacturers; every one of them a design classic.

The Fiat 124 Spider is a particular favourite, not least for its stunning looks. It was also a highly-successful rally car - one of the few convertibles to have such success on loose surfaces. Thanks to the Lampredi-designed twin-cam engine, it performed very well indeed.

This 1981 example was supplied new to the USA - where indeed most Spiders ended up. Now back in Europe, with all import taxes paid, it's ready for a new owner to register it in their country of choice. As a smart, original example in a great colour scheme, this 124 Spider would be a superb addition to any garage.
