Fiat's handsome 2+2 124 Sport Spider made its debut at the 1966 Turin Motorshow. The Ferrari 275 GTS-esque newcomer was styled and manufactured by Pininfarina and based on a shortened version of the popular 124 Saloon platform. The model line finally ceased in 1985 after almost 200,000 Spiders had been produced - 75 per cent of which were destined for the American market. The lefthand drive sale car was one of them, that's been the subject of considerable refurbishment since coming to these shores. The work has included having the hood repaired and the installation of a new carburettor and fresh tyres. 'YEL 951S' features Red bodywork matched to a Black hood and Black leather trim. The vendor's present view of the Fiat is that the bodywork and engine are 'very good', the paintwork and transmission 'good' and the upholstery 'average'. He is now offering the car complete with MOT valid to February 7 next year.
