    Owner Comments:
    This 1981 Fiat Spider is one of 4747 produced for 1981 and has been with the seller for four years and 4500 miles. The 2.0l DOHC inline for was originally a turbo but that setup was removed and the car is mated to a 5 speed manual. The car last passed California smog in May 2017 and services completed in 2016-2017 include an inspection of electrics and lighting, new parking brake cables and adjustment, new battery and trickle charger adapters and changed fluids. A repaint was completed at an unknown date and the seller notes minor bubbling near the front of both doors and at the edges of both rear wheel arches as shown in the gallery. Exterior lighting is described as working, the glass has no cracks or delamination, and the window seals show no cracking or missing pieces. 14" Cromodora CD-134 alloys were original equipment for this limited production Fiat Turbo. Westlake SP06 tires are mounted all around. Brightwork has been replaced by the current owner. Rear quarter window frames show some corrosion. Front seats were reupholstered by a prior owner and the seller has had the rear seat dyed. Sun visors, door panels, center console and the ash tray are all replacement items. Tan carpets show no stains or excessive wear and front foot wells have black Pininfarina logo mats. All gauges and dash indicator lights work as intended. The turbo boost gauge has been removed and in its position sits a clock. The six digit odometer shows just over 63,000 miles which are believed accurate. Receipts for repair and maintenance from 2014 to 2017 total $8600.00, including a new starter in 2015. Service performed in February 2014 include: Head machined; turbo removed, fuel injectors rebuilt (new fuel filter); new distributor advance unit/springs, vacuum lines, EFI temp sensor; new auxiliary air valve, brake booster, front pulley seal; new motor mounts; front brake service; new master cylinder, reservoir, hoses, front/rear stainless brake lines; new radiator, thermostat, coolant hoses, clamps, coolant (car has no overheating issues); new exhaust and heat shield.
