Description

Fiat 124 Sport Spider

A distinctive Italian classic with rally heritage, extensive technical upgrades and international endurance rally experience.

This 1975 Fiat 124 Sport Spider CS1 has been transformed into an Abarth Rally Replica, combining iconic Italian styling with rally-inspired engineering. Finished in red with a black bonnet and hardtop, it features extended wheel arches, auxiliary lights, alloy wheels and a roll cage.

Originally sold in the USA, the car was later imported to Germany and brought to Finland in 2003. Between 2005 and 2023, it was modified to its current Abarth Rally Replica specification. The car is FIVA-approved (No. 105694) and has participated in the Badawi Trail 2023 and the Sahara Challenge 2024, both long-distance historic endurance regularity rallies.
