Hello Michael ... thanks so much for posting this video! Brings back so many memories of my Red '71 Fiat 850 Spider. My future wife and I would go on dates in that '71 Fiat Spider ... so fun to ride and drive on the 'windy roads' of the hills of West Virginia!

Gorgeous car ! Fiat electrics in those days were poor, but the engines are superb. My fathers one did have a cam chain jump some teeth, but it was easy to replace.

First car I drove was my sister.s Fiat 750, which is the same as the one in video, but the engine was 750ccm vs 850 ccm of the one above. This means also HP was lower than in your car. Brings back memories.

And is mustard, as was our '68 (or so). Also, "FEE-at" if you're American. "FEE-it" if Italian. Never, "Fee-AHT".

2nd gear bugaboo always an issue with fiat and Alfa. Means the se CD one gear synchro is worn and will fail. An expensive fix beware
