The Appeal
Intended as an homage to the original Fiat 124 Spider, Fiat’s MX-5 based roadsters perfectly captured the spirit of the original Pininfarina styled roadsters. With Fiat’s turbocharged 1.4-litre MultiAir engine under the bonnet, Mazda’s gearbox in the original and a limited-slip differential at the rear, the new Spider was the perfect recipe for unadulterated fun.
This 2016 Abarth 124 Spider - resplendent in a rather fetching grey colour with red accents - has been owned by the vendor since June 2016. It has been garage-kept when not in use and benefits from regular main dealer servicing its whole life. If you’re looking for a fun modern roadster that will surely become a future classic, the Abarth Spider would be a fantastic option.

Summary
This is a really smart example of the highly regarded Abarth 124 Spider. It has been cared for very well throughout its life and therefore is in great condition.
Soft top convertible roadsters are few and far between today which is a real shame. That makes these Abarths particularly tempting and we’re sure this car’s next owner will really enjoy driving it.
