I really liked the wee 850 Spyders; I've owned five over the years. Wish
they were still available without rust. I worked as a mechanic for a FIAT
dealership for some time and always hated the 124 Spyders, totally due to
the bogus way the valves are adjusted, identical to Volvo B-21 and up:
interposer valve adjustment is a major PITA.
