I'm restoring a 72 Fiat spider 124 for a customer and it has been the best summer to learn about the history of Fiat and the fans of this car. Thanks for letting someone see how enjoyable these cars can be! Now go upgrade the brakes!
Pretty and unique color. We own a Spider 2000 with an 1800. These cars thrive on revs and are as quick than an Miata AD. They can be made faster as well . Spiders do ride nicely.
Had seven of them between me and my father. It's all I drove for the first 11 years I had my license. Though...that does mean I went through four of them in 11 years. It happens.
The braking is actually good enough. I was nervous about it until I was forced to an emergency braking maneuver and it performed fine. The gearing means accelerating feels like a much quicker car, which really matters more than being quicker unless you’re rack g Handles incredibly well. I point mine at a corner and smash the accelerator. It pops out the other side with that high exhaust singing at me. Don’t drive it gently. Because they aren’t very powerful you can push them, unlike friends I have with high power sports cars. They like to be revved and pushed.
