1982 FIAT 124 SPORT SPIDER

KEY FACTS

• A good example of the classic Italian convertible, in a desirable colour scheme and benefiting from a recent service.
• Under the bonnet is a carburettor-fed 101hp 2.0-litre twin-cam inline-four, coupled to a five-speed manual gearbox.
• Initially registered in the US, it was imported to the UK and re-registered in June 2000, and has had three keepers since then.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• An owner’s manual and various shop manuals will be included, with a small collection of maintenance documents and two keys.

CONDITION

• Its resprayed Verde paintwork is in excellent condition, now with just some minor blemishes on the bonnet, boot lid and around the wheel arches.
• Some light scratches can be seen on the plastic front bumpers, along with some wear to the chrome trims.
• Inside, the beige leather upholstery may well be all original, showing some light creasing, as well as a small tear in the lower outer bolster of the driver’s seat.
• A few stains can be seen in the carpets and on the door card inserts, and there is obvious wear around the steering wheel boss and spokes, and to the gear knob.
