The seller offers for sale this 1980 Fiat 124 Spider 2000, powered by a 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine with fuel injection, paired with a manual transmission. This US-market example retains, according to the seller, its original paint, body and engine, and shows an indicated mileage of 24,000 miles. The car is fitted with the fuel-injected 2.0-litre unit producing 102 hp, and has recently received new brake pads. The body has been thoroughly treated with anti-rust protection inside the doors, hoods and all cavities. The striking full red interior with matching red seat belts pairs beautifully with the white bodywork, and the car comes with its original rims and a windbreaker. A valid inspection is present.

The 124 Sport Spider was introduced at the 1966 Turin Motor Show and remained in production for two decades, becoming one of the most successful Italian roadsters ever built. Designed and built by Pininfarina, the elegant two-seater combined timeless styling with advanced engineering for its era, including a twin-cam engine designed by former Ferrari engineer Aurelio Lampredi, a five-speed gearbox and four-wheel disc brakes. The vast majority of production went to the United States, where the Spider became a beloved icon of affordable open-top motoring. For the 1979 and 1980 model years the car was sold as the Spider 2000, featuring the enlarged 2.0-litre twin-cam engine, with Bosch fuel injection arriving in 1980 to improve drivability and emissions compliance.

Today the 124 Spider is appreciated as an accessible, characterful classic with excellent parts availability and a strong international following. Late fuel-injected examples combine the model’s classic Pininfarina lines with the most usable and refined drivetrain of the series. This original, well-protected example with its eye-catching colour combination represents an appealing opportunity for the enthusiast seeking an honest Italian roadster ready to be enjoyed.
