Nubia from UK

Post by Peteracs »

Hi All

I am a Lancia Beta Spyder owner in the UK ( being restored) and looking at what the next project will be. I quite fancy a 124 Spider due to similar engine, not so common in UK, always loved the simple styling and it appears a very affordable usable rear wheel drive car.

So looking to read and learn where to buy and pitfalls of owning one. This looks like a good place to start. I would appreciate any recommended reading.

Thanks

Peter

Hi Peter and welcome.
Mirafiori has a Buying Guide for Fiat 124 Spiders which is a good start.
