Originally posted by Canada_Rockies In my earlier years (my 40's) I bought myself a Fiat 850 Spider for a toy. When I bought it, it was Fiat rust red and seems to have been invisible in Vancouver BC fog. It was rear ended twice (yes, my brake lights worked!). Since all the go stuff was in the back, that was rather annoying. The second time was enough for my insurance to repaint the whole vehicle Corvette Yellow. Very much like the colour of that Ferrari. (Well, they are both Italian ...)
A friend of mine had an 850 Spyder that he transplanted an engine from a Fiat 124 into.
The 124 is front engine, rear drive, 2 liter I believe.
That little 850 was a screaming little monster.
