My employer bough a 124 spider for me to use as a daily driver. I still have to pick it up 500kms away near Heidelberg ...

Looking forward to using it (her? doesn't look like a him).

Attached some pics at the dealer.

The chassis and interior design are Mazda ND (but different materials used), but the engine is Fiat 1.4 Multiair turbo with previous-generation NC gearbox and completely different bodywork.

Works for me smile

I know exactly what Fiat have done and I’m certainly not going to lambast the car. It was short lived though. I’ve only seen one in the flesh, it’s just Mazda have been doing these for years and are still in production. It’s a pity Fiat couldn’t come up with a totally new sports car, and I genuinely mean that.
