Introduced at the November 1966 Turin Salon, the Fiat 124 Sport Spider boasted a handsome two-door monocoque bodyshell that was both styled and built by Pininfarina and proved a great sales success. A staple part of Fiat's model range until 1982, with just under 200,000 produced, the majority were shipped to North America.

Manufactured in 1978, the 124 Spider was supplied new to the United States of America, residing there until being imported to the United Kingdom in 2021 from the American ‘dry state’ Nevada. Noted by the vendor as a very solid example, likely helped by Nevada’s climate, the vendor embarked upon a two-year renovation of the Fiat. Mechanically, the 124 received a comprehensive engine overhaul including new rings, shells, oil pump and starting equipment, new differential seals, new wheel bearings, renewed suspension bushes and powder-coated suspension parts, a new clutch, and refreshed brakes with new calipers and lines.

Cosmetically, the interior was refreshed with retrimmed seats, door cards and new carpets, a new hood was supplied, a new windscreen and the wheels were powder-coated and shod with new tyres. Benefitting from an estimated £15,000 worth of expenditure, the Fiat started readily and ran well during our recent photography session. Offered with a collection of invoices, documents relating to the UK registration, a copy of the Nevada state title, sales literature and current V5C document.
