Summary
In 1966, Fiat presented the 124 Sport Spider at the Turin Motor Show. The design came from Pininfarina/Tjaarda, the technology from the 124 saloon. The package turned out to be a hit, as the convertible was built until 1985 and around 200,000 units were sold. This vehicle report portrays an early 1.4-liter version from 1969 and describes the history of the beautiful Spider in words and pictures.

Preview (beginning of the article)
The air smells fresh, the trees are yellow and brown. It is fall. A slightly rumbling hum can be heard in the distance, obviously coming from a four-cylinder engine with luxurious camshaft equipment. Then it rolls around the corner, the Fiat 124 Sport Spider in the seasonally appropriate "Giallo Positano" livery. The open-top Italian sports car soon disappears behind the next bend, the music from the exhaust fading into the distance. Autumn sonata. Fiat had already presented the 124 model, the successor to the 1300/1500 series, in the spring of 1966. Fiat chief engineer Dante Giacosa had created a modern saloon that also provided the basis for other models.
