My first new car was a French Blue 1971 Fiat 124 Spider with the glorious 1608 cc Twin Cam motor. I was 22 years old and had just returned from Southeast Asia. Today I own a 1976 Lancia Scorpion #1438 out of 1806 imported to the USA (which I bought new) and a 2019 Abarth 124 Spider.
They were great cars. I worked on them professionally and drove them often. They had the same issues that all cars of that era had. They rusted quickly and they were only moderately dependable. That was the way cars were back then. They needed constant care to keep them up to snuff.
Another iconic and legendary car. Loving the design of all these 124 Spiders - no matter if it is the old or new one. Really beautiful cars and the entire 124 line was a success for Fiat when also seeing all the license productions even in the Soviet Union. Although they didn't build a Spider over there at the VAZ factory.
I own one like this. I saw this very example there at the June 2021 Syon Park London Classic Car Show. This example has been beutifully retouched with Euro bumpers.
One of the masterpieces of Tom Tjaarda…the mass-produced version was a compromise between Fiat and Pininfarina, in fact Tjaarda did not want it as we know it. There is an example, here in Italy, with the real specifications of Tjaarda, just as he wanted it...
@@kirisgarage8590 The Chevrolet RONDINE is the car that was supposed to be the 124 sport spider for Tjaarda… is amazing! But Fiat he didn't approve of it.
@@alberto_davoli Bullshit: Just two different projects for two different clients. The rondine obviously paid it's tribute to Chevrolet while the Fiat 124 Spider did so to Fiat (and Ferrari).

Thank you and you have very cool cars today. Lancia beta montecarlo or scorpion is dream car for many people 👍
