Highlights
- Great project starting point
- Parked for many years
- Alfa Romeo leather seats fitted
The Appeal
With a crisp design from Pininfarina, a lively engine and lithe handling, the Fiat 124 Spider could out-handle its rivals as well as looking sharper in its italian suit.
Having started life in Europe the Fiat is left hand drive, less of a worry than many imagine driving in the UK, and ideal for continental road trips.
The seller recently discovered it parked under cover where it had been sat for around 20 years, so it has been protected from the elements for half of its life.

It must be considered as a project needing restoration, but an exciting project brimming with potential. The seller has not tried to start the engine so condition is unknown but believes the floor pans to be very good.
Just looking at the car it's easy to imagine a de-bumpered Abarth replica taking shape!
The History and Paperwork

- Door cards and dash top have been damaged
- No carpet so floor pans easy to examine
The Exterior
- Cool period alloy wheels
- Requires paint and some small panel repairs

The Mechanics

- Will need brakes overhauled after being stored
Summary
This is an amazing opportunity to take on a rare project and create your ideal 124 Spider, either with the existing running gear or update with more power, a manual gearbox and lowered suspension or kept true to the day it left the factory, its an excellent starting point to restore a very cool car from.
