The Fiat 124 Sport Spider was designed by
Pininfarina
and styled in-house by
Tom Tjaarda
. The 124 Sport Spider,
124 Sport Coupé
and
124 sedan
share much of their running gear – and, in the case of the coupé,
platforms
. The Sports Spider uses a shorter platform along with a shorter
wheelbase
, and in contrast to the Pinifarina styled and manufactured spider, Fiat designed and manufactured the coupé in-house.
The succession of build series of the 124 were designated internally as AS, BS, BS1, CS and CSA. AS models had a torque tube transmitting power to the rear wheels; this crack-prone design was replaced by a trailing-arm rear axle with the second series (BS) during 1969 — which was manufactured alongside the AS for the first six months of 1970. The early AS cars also have smaller taillights, while the BS receives a mesh grille and black-rimmed gauges inside.
In July 1970 the 1.6-liter BS1 appeared; this model is recognizable by its twin humps on the bonnet and bumper overriders. The CS series Spider arrived during 1972. Also in 1972, a sports version of the Spider debuted, required for type-approval of its rally version, and was marketed as 124 CSA (C-Spider-Abarth). The vehicle has a capacity of 128 hp.
In three years, Fiat manufactured less than 1000 CSA models, which were intended for sale to individual clients.
The car was manufactured by Fiat (with a Pininfarina body) in Turin until October 1981, when Pininfarina took over manufacture in their
San Giorgio Canavese
plant.
