Fiat 124 Spider

I think I'm in love

I'm going to see this on Saturday, is there anything other than rust that I should pay particular attention to please?

That is obscene , NSFW or wallet. I seem to remember practical classic magazine doing an article on the FIAT spider in the last few years, a buyers guide I think.

I know it's only a little Fiat, but if I buy it, I'm also going to have to buy a Matt Monroe CD aren't I?

You have a fine choice of Barry Manilow, Barry White or Frank Sinatra That may "only" be a FIAT but it is a beauty.

Gearbox can be weak as well as diff, check 3rd gear synchro.
Check for play in front wishbones and ball joints too.
Most parts are still available and the twin cam engine is pretty reliable just not very powerful.

A friend recently took one over to Sweden
