Saw this today :-)

Was out shopping in Montlucon today, stopped off at the service station to fuel up and this little beauty was on the next pump
The owner told me that it was a total rust bucket when he acquired it and he spent several years slowly bringing it back to life.
Sounded lovely when it drove off.

I had a lovely 1981 light metalic blue ( originally silver ) one of these !
Bought it in 1999, from a girl, who bought it in California, whilst on a world tour.
Sold it in on in 1999, to a lovely chap called Rupert. I contacted him about 2 years later and sadly he had sold it to a pal. He said he would pass my details on, but I never heard back.
Reverse gear had gone, when I bought and sold it.

I was looking at one of these, similar colour, at the Italia show at Raby Castle earlier this year, a nice alternative to the Alfa Spider.
Slightly gawky from some angles, think mainly the length of the boot throws it out, but very tasty none the less. A lot cheaper than the Alfa Spider too.
Varying engine sizes IIRC can't imagine a 1300cc is a rocket ship, more of a boulevard cruiser. The larger engined ones were quite successful rally cars IIRC.

Lovely looking thing. I’ve always been an Alfa man at heart but to be honest find the 124 Spider visually more attractive than the Alfa Spider, even with those Federal bumpers fitted. Those bumpers are supposed to be incredibly heavy btw!
Great that the owner had this one resprayed in that lovely original bronze colour too. Brave choice and looks superb.
