The Italian half-brother of the Mazda MX-5 Miata is, as expected, a popular choice for people in the market for a two-seat convertible. To boot, all UK-bound examples of the Fiat 124 Spider Anniversary Edition are spoken for.
To put it in a more explicit manner, 124 numbered units of the Fiata had sold out before the first cars got to hit British showrooms on September 10. Priced at £23,295 a pop, that’s £2,888,580 in the piggy bank for FCA.
According to Sebastiano Fedrigo, the head of brand at Fiat UK, “once the Fiat 124 Spider hits the streets and showrooms, even more people will begin to fall for its style and presence and once they drive it, they will be hooked.” The question is, what makes the Anniversary Edition, well, anniversary worthy?
Yup, it’s been five decades since the original 124 Spider made it debut at Salone dell’Automobile of Torino. Regarding the quality of specialness, Anniversary Edition cars are offered in a unique specification.
Standard equipment includes 17-inch alloy wheels, 7-inch touchscreen navigation with satellite navigation and 3D mapping, full-LED adaptive headlights, automatic lights and wipers, two USB ports, DAB radio, 9-speaker audio system, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, cruise control, black leather, heated seats, rear parking sensors, this car gets the whole nine yards.
If you missed out on the Fiat 124 Spider Anniversary Edition, you might be interested in the regular model. That’ll be £19,545 in no-frills specification, also known as the Classica 1.4 MultiAir 140. If you want the best the 124 Spider range has to offer, that’ll be £31,605 for the Abarth 124 Spider with 170 horsepower and an automatic transmission. You know what? Please forget the automatic and go for the manual Abarth 124 Spider (£29,565).
If, however, you’re more into driving than cruising, the Mazda MX-5 Miata is the better open-top sports car. Prices for the Japanese roadster start from £18,495 for the 1.5-liter model. The best-equipped MX-5 with the 2.0-liter SkyActiv-G four-banger, however, will set you back £23,690.
