1978 Fiat 124 Spider 1800
Fabulous original carburettor car with guaranteed 55000 mls from new. An incredible opportunity to buy the very best original car on offer anywhere. Seen and constantly admired at many shows. I bought this car in Virginia from the previous long time owner. Rosso Red with Parchment interior and black carpeting . Completely original Fiat factory built unrestored example with no changed panels or welding of any kind. The fit and finish is gorgeous. All the underbody and sill pinch seams are perfect. Gleaming paintwork and only one repaint in the factory Rosso Cherry 136 colour. The engine bay is immaculate, inner wings and underside as new. Original underseal still present. The seating and carpets are lovely. The dashboard and woodwork are perfect. Everything works, even the clock! No cracks in the steering wheel and lovely tight fitting hood and hood cover. The twin cam engine runs incredibly smoothly , strong and sweet with no noises, no leaks of any kind and complimented with a perfect 5 speed gearbox. Factory boot set with rare original timber covers and mat. Two sets of wheels and tyres , the original iron cross alloys plus the Panasport shadowchrome 15s currently on the car. New tyres and new factory exhaust. Exquisite unmarked chrome throughout with no marks or pitting. I have owned 124s for over thirty years and have had five spiders , to find unmolested cars is extremely difficult and hugely superior to a restored car , that god knows who has built.
This is an extremely impressive car that I am only selling as I have retired now and find it increasingly hard to look after my five classic cars so reluctantly Im letting a few go. It needs nothing and can be immediately enjoyed to the full. Great tight , fun driver. I dont think you will find a better car for the money anywhere. Prices for excellent cars are very strong and good examples are a gilt edge investment that you can enjoy. Far better than money in the bank. You can view the car any time in Ormskirk Lancashire L39. Thank you.
