Description
The Fiat & Abarth 124 Spider & Coupe Revised Paperback Edition is a comprehensive guide to these iconic cars. First produced in 1966, the Pininfarina-designed 124 Spider was a huge export success for Fiat, with over 170,000 examples sold in the USA alone. The 124 Coupe, styled by Boano, also enjoyed sales success worldwide between 1967 and 1975. Both models used Fiat's twin-cam engine in sizes ranging from 1400 to 2000cc, with the Spider even offering supercharged performance in its Volumex form towards the end of production. The 124 Spider played an important role in international rallying during the 1970s, with Abarth-built cars achieving great success and earning newsworthiness. Today, these traditionally black-bonneted/hooded cars are highly sought after by collectors. This book provides a detailed history of the Fiat 124 Spider and Coupe, including expert advice on which model to choose, restoration options, clubs, specialists, and what it's like to own one.
