Tasty roadster
Fiat’s modern Abarth 124 hails back to the similarly-named classic rally weapon, using an intriguing mix of a unique driveline tied to Mazda MX-5 underpinnings.
The powerplant is a 1.4lt turbo four matched to a six-speed manual transmission.
In a 2016 review, Wheels magazine noted: “It will ultimately be a matter of taste and brand preference whether you choose the Abarth 124 Spider or the obvious Japanese alternative, but the Roman – but still Japanese built – roadster does its bit to sway buyers with a distinct look, turbo torque and a solid value equation. And it’s a terrifically involving handler.”
This example shows 87,000km on the odometer and is located in Melbourne. It’s priced at $34,900.
