[Roadsters] Just your thoughts OT Fiat 850

[Paul]

  Back in the day, the 850s required new valves every year, new rings every
other year.  So don't spend the money you save on gas!

Dave,

They are quite painfully slow for modern traffic, takes quite a while to get
up to 60 or 65.
Other than that, if you can drive an old roadster as a daily driver, you
would
be able to survive the even less creature comforts of the Fiat, I think!

One last caveat, they are Italian.  Unusual and expensive things may break
at
the wrong time!

Best Regards,
Jim
