1980 Fiat 124 Sport Spider Abarth Stradale Evocation
Abarth Evocation built with very close attention to detail!
Estimate
£25, 000 - £30, 000
Registration No: ETH 865V
Chassis No: 124CSthe details below
MOT: T. B. A
Imported as a project by the vendor from the dry state of California
Restored to Abarth Stradale specification following a visit to the Abarth Museum by the vendor, and thorough photographing of an original 124 Abarth Rally
Benefitting from significant expenditure (over £40, 000 in invoices without labour) and notable attention to detail
Restoration completed in 2019 and only hillclimbed a handful of times since
Introduced at the November 1966 Turin Salon, the Fiat 124 Sport Spider boasted a handsome two-door monocoque bodyshell that was both styled and built by Pininfarina and proved a great sales success. A staple part of Fiat's model range until 1982, with just under 200, 000 produced, the majority were shipped to North America. The Fiat 124 Abarth Rally was a high-performance 'homologation special' based on the 124 Sport Spider, and first become available in November '72 having been seen previously in prototype form at the Geneva Salon. Extensively revised with rallying in mind, the Abarth Rally featured independent rear suspension by McPherson struts, wider light-alloy wheels, flared wheelarches, glassfibre body panels, a five-speed gearbox, limited-slip differential, an internal roll-over bar, rigid hardtop, competition seats and a revised dashboard. The engine was a 1, 756cc twin-cam four producing 128bhp (DIN) in standard trim with 170bhp available in full rallying tune.
Homologated initially in Group 2, the Abarth-modified 124 Spider served as FIAT's frontline rally car throughout 1973, achieving one World Championship victory. Re-homologated into Group 3 for 1974, the Abarth Rally picked up another World Championship win and several top-three finishes, but its finest hour would come in 1975 when, this time competing in Group 4, Maurizio Verini won the European Rally Championship at the wheel of the final, 16-valve version.
