The Fiat 124 Spider enjoyed a long production run, with its enduring popularity the result of its elegant shape, sporty driving dynamics, characterful twin-cam engine and rugged mechanicals. Over time, its styling and engines evolved, but the basic formula remained unchanged. The car was particularly well received in the USA, where its convertible bodystyle made it especially popular in sunnier states such as California.
 
This 1978 left-hand drive example began its life in the USA, and was imported to the UK in 1989. It has been resprayed in white and fitted with black four-spoke alloy wheels, and had its bumpers removed, resulting in a look not unlike the competition-spec Abarth 124 Rally.
 
The seller states that the car “starts and runs well.” This is a car whose many charms are ready to be enjoyed by a new owner, particularly if they are able to give it some cosmetic attention to restore it to full glory.
 

 

BEFORE YOU BUY 

This sale is subject to the Car & Classic Terms and Conditions. By bidding and/or making an offer, you also agree to the following: 

✓ The seller is registered as a private seller which means consumer rights stemming from EU consumer protection law do not come into effect. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic’s own Terms and Conditions.. 

✓ We request that a non-refundable fee  be paid if you are the lucky winning bidder at auction or if your offer is accepted. Please refer to our helpful FAQs and T&Cs for specific rates. 

✓ This vehicle is “Sold As Seen”, on an “As Is Where Is” basis and without warranty. Photos and descriptions are solely for guidance purposes and it's customary to carry out a full inspection of the vehicle prior to purchase for your own peace of mind. 

✓ VAT is included in the buyer's fee. VAT may or may not be included in the final bid or offer price, as specified in the listing. 

✓ We want a smooth transaction just as much as you do and as such we run all UK-registered cars and motorcycles for sale on Car & Classic through an online HPI check to verify that they show no insurance database markers for damage or theft, and have no finance owing, allowing you to bid with confidence. 

✓ We also check whether vehicles are recorded as being written off as part of an insurance total loss claim at the time an advert is placed on Car & Classic and we helpfully provide write-off category labels (Cat C/D/S/N) for your assistance. However, the presence or absence of a label does not guarantee the vehicle’s status and it is always worthwhile carrying out your own  full vehicle history check before making an offer on a vehicle. 

✓ Buyers are responsible for vehicle collection 

or delivery. Importing vehicles may result in additional customs duties and import taxes, so it's worth checking beforehand. It is the bidder's responsibility to confirm import eligibility prior to purchase. 

✓ Unless stated otherwise, you must assume that any cherished, personalized, or heritage vehicle registration is not included in the sale of a vehicle.
