The upholstery is part of the more recent investment that has happened in the last couple of years.

The engine is what makes this Italian so desirable. Fiat's twin-cam engine is a longstanding powerhouse that is known for being exceptionally versatile. The 1800cc unit produces a wonderful sound throughout its rev range that is the reason many of us have a passion for driving. This has even been given a new exhaust so you hear this tone crisp and clear. The five-speed manual transmission gives you firm control over this symphony. But, it wasn't just the engine that made these Fiat 124 Spiders great. These are tight handling cars with well-balanced suspensions that love backroads. And the four-wheel power disc brakes give you better stopping power than most other 1970s machines.

Big style, big driving fun, and a little price - this is the Italian drop-top you've been waiting for, but it would wait long for you. Call today!!!
