Owning an early 850 Spider, I would disagree. Small engine, yes, but rev happy and fun. No racer, though.

The front looks like the Fiat Dino Spider. The rest looks like the Ferrari Dino 308 GT4. 2 Dinos in 1.

Come to my place in Switzerland, you'll see a dozen of Moretti's. And drink one too!

Abarth built the 1300/124 which was based on the 850 coupe. He also built the Scorpione (sp?) with the same 1300cc drivetrain. The stock 850s had a 4.63 or 4.88 ring and pinion iirc. The Abarth 1300cc cars had 3.50 or 3.70 r&p. These 1300cc cars were ideal for American driving conditions whereas the stock 850s were really city cars.

Thanks!

I like the way you can drop in a 2-litre motor and get the weight down to 650kg and win hillclimbs in 2022 like Manuel Dondi. And I like the way you can drop in a bike engine and get the weight down to 550kg like Davide Cironi. And I like the way Dallara modified the car to be successful in Group 5. And I like the way Dallara modified that car into a prototype Stradale and put it in the foyer of their museum. Dude, even a bog standard X1/9 has a 5-speed transaxle like a modern car, bucket and shim valve clearance like a modern car, all round disc brakes like a modern car, and an integral b-pillar rollover bar like a modern car. Not to mention it was engineered to pass what is basically an earlier version of the current crash test. Or that a 1500 with a single carb will sail through the latest most stringent UK emissions tests, by a bigger margin than most moderns. But anyway, point taken Pontiac guy and "see you on the road, skag".

@@markbowden7238 Goodness you seem to know a lot of useless stuff no-one cares about but you:) This Fiat - 0-60 in 15 seconds. What a joke.

@@hyena131 it's all about the handling baby

@@markbowden7238 Who is this "handling baby?" Is he/she as crap as this laughable fiat, illiterate one? 0-60 in 15 seconds. Cringe... Hee! Hee!

@@hyena131bye x❤️

That’s the water pump way out there to the right with the alternator just inboard of it.

@M. E. Let sleeping dogs lie.

@@m.e.345 I'm doing a projector headlamp conversion, using four 90mm Hella lamps in place of the pop up unit. I had to square out the lower corners of the apertures in the body and mount the lamps inside the body. This will require me to make an outer lens from clear acrylic to finish flush. This part also closes off the aperture from water ingress, unlike with popups. Three times the wattage, half the weight, all bulb options inc gas discharge. Also way more aerodynamic. But I'm in the UK and this is on a car with a full bumper delete inc screw in tow eyes and a modified serie speciale front spoiler. I had to install the spoiler at a shallower angle because the whole car is lowered 3" on coilovers. Still no idea if the headlamps can be set up to pass the MoT but I'm hopeful.

Yes, really small. . . the cars increased their size during the years; now, even city car are not so small as the FIAT 500 i.e.
