HISTORY
The 124
Sport Spider is a 2+2 convertible sports car marketed by Fiat from 1966 to 1980
– having debuted at the November 1966 Turin Auto Show. Designed and
manufactured by Italian carrozzeria Pininfarina, Fiat and Pininfarina continued
to market the monocoque-bodied car as the 2000 Spider from 1979 to 1982.
Pininfarina itself assumed the car's marketing from 1983 to the end of its
production in 1985 – as the Pininfarina Spider Azzura.
The body of
the car was designed and marketed by Pininfarina. The convertible body was
designed by Tom Tjaarda, who used his earlier designs of Chevrolet Corvette
“Rondine” and Ferrari 275 GTS. Several years later, in 1981, on the 50th
anniversary of Pininfarina, this fact was further emphasized by producing a
Fiat Spider 2000 Pininfarina 50th (Golden) Anniversary Edition. In 1972, a
sports version of the Spider was revealed. This was required for a
type-approval of its rally version, which earned some remarkable success. The
models sold in showrooms were marked as 124 CSA (C-Spider-Abarth). The vehicle
had a capacity of 128 hp. In three years, Fiat manufactured less than 1, 000 CSA
models, which were intended for sale to individual clients. Apart from the Fiat
Spider 2000 Pininfarina 50th (Golden) Anniversary Edition, this is one of the
versions most eagerly sought by collectors.
The car was
sold in Europe and the U.S. from its introduction until the 1975 model year
when it was modified to comply with new U.S. regulations and no European
version was produced. Sales in Europe resumed when Pininfarina took over
production in 1983 under the name Pininfarina Europa Spider.[3]
The Sports
Spider and the Fiat 124 Coupé shared the numeric portions of their name with
the 124 sedan along with much of their running gear – and, in the case of the
Coupé, a shared platform. The Sports
Spider utilized a shorter platform along with a shorter wheelbase, and in
contrast to the Pinifarina styled and manufactured Spider, Fiat designed and
manufactured the Coupé in-house.
