Hi all from Sunderland in the UK

Post by Colywobbles »

Hi all and thanks for the invite.

After owning a 1966 Fiat 500 D (Dolly) for the past 11yr we decided to adopt another Italian beauty in the form of a gorgeous 124 Spyder and here is a pic of her with my wife when we collected her last week.
We drove her home which was almost 300 miles and she was an absolute delight surprising us both with how well she handled especially compared to her little sister Dolly.
On the way home we had a lengthy discussion over what to call her and settled on the name Rosa which has quickly stuck and now she is a part of our happy family hopefully for many years to come.

Regards Colin, Wendy and Gabriel.

Hi and welcome!
Congratulations to your car, it looks great!

After looking into the worldwide spider registry you got the second oldest AS in UK! There's only one older Spider from 1967 with chassisno 248, registered in Surrey!

You will find more spider from uk here at:

Good luck with your car!

Greetings from the opposite corner of the UK!
We are in North Devon, near Croyde. Considering the Spider was never sold in the UK it is amazing how many there are on the road (or in garages!) around the country.
Yours looks in lovely condition, mine has a little way to go!

Hi Colywobbles,

Nice car. I think its one I looked at last year, was it from a a bloke with an amazing Ferrari home "garage" in Essex ?

I bought a BS1 from Switzerland (costly and time consuming business!) which I will take to the Goodwood Revival on the Saturday. Be great to meet up.
I've put a picture of mine on another post here.
