KEY FACTS
This 1973 Fiat 124 CSA (C Spider Abarth) is a rare homologation special variant of the stylish classic Italian convertible.
Under the bonnet is a carburettor-fed 1.8-litre twin-cam inline-four, rebuilt in 2023 and recently tuned to produce around 145hp, driving the rear wheels via a five-speed manual gearbox.
This is one of fewer than 1,000 124 CSAs built during the model’s three-year production run.
The odometer shows 60,510 km.
EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES
Repainted in 2017, this 124 CSA’s Pininfarina-designed bodywork is finished in Rosso Vivo, with a satin black scooped bonnet, boot lid, and rear wheel arches, over a black interior.
It rides on reconditioned 13-inch four-spoke magnesium Cromodora Abarth alloy wheels, wrapped in Hankook Optimo K715 tyres.
Equipment includes front spotlights, a three-spoke steering wheel, Sabelt safety harnesses, a fire extinguisher, a Prina limited-slip differential, a modified stainless-steel exhaust, an aluminium air box, and adjustable Koni shock absorbers.
Accompanying the vehicle will be the owner’s manuals, its registration documents, its ASI documents, and a collection of spare parts including the exhaust header, airbox, timing cover and differential.
Please note: the black plates shown in the photos are replica items for exhibition purposes made in agreement with the ASI club to make the car as similar as possible to its era – but the original plates are white as shown in other photos.
