SUMMARY
A superbly built, race-proven and road-legal Abarth tribute with period-correct spec, modern enhancements and real dual-purpose appeal.
DESCRIPTION
- Originally built at Fiat’s Rivalta plant in May 1971, this 124 Spider was imported from California in 2015 and transformed into a high-performance Abarth tribute by a passionate owner, before receiving a full cosmetic and mechanical restoration
- Presented in stunning Abarth Rosso, on period-correct gold Cromodoras, with freshly detailed paintwork following the removal of original signwriting – a visually striking and highly capable classic Italian racer
- Powered by a race-tuned 1608cc Lampredi twin-cam engine, built by respected Italian Twin Cam specialist, Ellegi Motori, and paired with twin Weber IDF40 carburettors, an Abarth close-ratio 5-speed gearbox, LSD, paddle clutch, and bespoke stainless exhaust
- Full competition specification including roll-cage (removable), bucket seats, dash-adjustable pedal box (no servo), braided lines, and rose-jointed suspension, all while retaining MOT, road legality, tax and ULEZ exemption
- Dual-purpose usability, with a quick-change setup allowing conversion from race trim to touring spec with classic sports seats and open-top comfort. Recently proven on a problem-free 1,000-mile round trip to Le Mans
- Professionally maintained and sympathetically upgraded, including a lightweight Denso-based alternator, Odyssey race battery, new fuse box and electrical service, rebuilt wiper mechanism/motor, improved fuel system, and more
- Supplied with its HSCC and Motorsport UK Passport, Fiat Heritage correspondence, build sheet, competition documentation, invoices and receipts, and its UK V5C. With proven race pedigree and road touring ability, this is a standout opportunity to own one of the most complete and usable Abarth 124 Spider tributes available today.
