Exciting News for Classic Car Enthusiasts!

Roadster Salon, the top restorer and modifier of Fiat Spiders in North America, has just made headlines by breaking the record for the highest online auction price for a Fiat Spider. This remarkable achievement was recorded on the popular classic car auction site, Bring a Trailer.

The Fiat Spider, known for its timeless Pininfarina design and vintage driving experience, is becoming increasingly sought-after by car enthusiasts. Roadster Salon has been at the forefront of revamping these classic beauties with modern updates and improved build quality for over two decades.

The record-breaking Fiat Spider, completed by Roadster Salon in 2023 and backed by their transferable warranty, featured several performance and finish upgrades. It fetched over $60,000 (including buyer fees) and garnered significant attention on Bring a Trailer, with over 25,000 views, 200 comments, and 1,600 watchers—marking the strongest showing for a Fiat Spider sold online to date.

Bring a Trailer is renowned for its credibility in the classic car sales market in the US, reaching 1.4 million households and boasting over 600,000 registered bidders. The site offers an average of 800 new listings weekly, with each listing carefully curated and vetted for accuracy, ensuring a trustworthy platform for both sellers and buyers.

Ray Marchica, Roadster Salon’s Director of Sales and Marketing, expressed his enthusiasm about the milestone: “It’s heartening to know Roadster is finally being recognized for our years of hard work and technical development. We’ve built a loyal following, and the strength of this sale reflects the brand awareness Roadster Salon Spiders now possess. Our Spiders are truly special. They are improved in critical areas but retain their original charm. Tremendous fun to drive—the perfect alternative for customers who love the classic Fiat design but prefer a convertible with fewer compromises.”
