General Welcome to the recent influx of Spider owners!
Hi Ben
I'm trying to help a friend sell an older 124 Spider.
I saw your forum and wondered if you have anyone that you know might be interested, or have a 'For Sale' page that I can post some details up on?
The car's been laid up for quite a while so will have to be thought of as a 'project' I believe.
My own classic also has a couple of specialists who advertise for cars in any condition that they will either restore or re-cycle for key parts. Do you have such specialists who handle Fiats?
Many thanks
Dougray

Totally random post, but wish I could afford a RHD classic 124 spider, they're extremely pretty. Yet another fine looking car from the pen of Pininfarina :worship:

Anyone have any experience with "Roadster Salon"?
I want to restore my fiat spider back to it's original glory.
It needs too much for me to do it, I don't have the equipment, nor the patients and time to do it myself!
If it was an American car at least I would have the patients...lol!
Roadster Salon puts out some great cars, but a hefty price tag! like...$50,000+
is it worth it, to turn mine into a "Brand New 1978 Fiat 124 Spider???
or do I buy a 2020 fiat spider for $32000.00 and have a "State of the Art" Vehicle?

Hello all,
My name is David and I recently bought a 1973 spider. The price was excellent & it was my bithday, so I figured-what the hell?
The gentleman I bought it from told me it was his 5th spider and that the car’s name is Bianca (from a previous owner). I was able to drive the car ~ 90 miles home without any really serious issues.
Since then, Bianca has left me on the side of the road 5 times, and I her, once. We have some fuel delivery issues to work out, as well as a full ignition, timing and carburetor tune up in our future, before we can go anywhere out of town together.
That said, the car is in overall excellent shape, and I am looking forward to the adventures we’ll have.

I just acquired a 1977 Spider. It's my first classic car (& first "fun" car of any kind). Maiden voyage was 107 miles yesterday and it ran great. Generally in good condition, but there's plenty about it in need of attention (largely cosmetic, I hope).
Hoping this forum can help steer me in the right direction as I'm sure I'll need some good advice along the way! Very excited for the journey!

They ran first time out for 19 years in the country (1966-1985) and the good news is you'll find parts easier for yours then my 2018. I'm waiting on a key fob from Hiroshima. Then have to get through customs because it's classified under Hazmat. (toxic) Thank whoever I ain't paying for it.
Sounds like a good score! Share some photos when you can
Thanks! I just uploaded some photos to the garage section.
Looking great! Thank you for sharing
