Fiat Spider 124

Practical Classics Charity Restoration: PC Workshop Hall 5

The Practical Classics team has unveiled the car they will be restoring at this year’s Practical Classics Classic Car & Restoration Show. Held at Birmingham’s NEC from 21-23 March 2025, they will be restoring a Fiat Spider 124 in aid of the Royal British Legion.

Editor Danny Hopkins and his editorial team will actually have two Fiat Spiders, a viable car and a donor car. Danny explains that the parts car scrapper was donated by a former RAF airman after he realised it wouldn’t be a good viable project. The viable car hasn’t been started for 15 years but they are hoping to change all that at the show.
