The most
From the late 1960s until the 1980s, the Italian convertible sports car market was dominated by two 'Spiders'. Both had bodywork designed and built by Pininfarina in Turin, and both had twin-cam engines, although in every other respect they were entirely different cars. We are talking, of course, about the Series 105/115 Alfa Romeo Spider and the Fiat 124.
It's not for us to decide which Spider was better, as both had great qualities, but it's worth noting that the Fiat was hugely successful in motorsport in rallies, hill climbs and on circuits. We are delighted to offer this example from the last years of production, equipped with a fuel-injected version of Lampredi's legendary 2.0-litre in-line twin-cam four-cylinder engine.
Resplendent in 'English Green', this is a very handsome example, and underneath the bodywork, its mechanics have received a great deal of attention in recent years. For those looking for an example in very good condition, and in perfect working order, you've come to the right place.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
- If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
- If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
-
- Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
- We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.
| Bid Amount | Increment |
|---|---|
| €0 to €9,999 | €100.00 |
| €10,000 to €49,999 | €250.00 |
| €50,000 to €99,999 | €500.00 |
| €100,000 + | €1,000.00 |
Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
