1972 Fiat Spyder 850 review from North America
"Do beleve it was my favorite car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Carb jets are so small, they would often get trash in them.. a screw driver and and a few minutes and your back on the road.
Now for the bad the frames in thes cars, think it was called a x box frame would rust easy and made the car dangerus, the cv axles had little to be desired.. made of rubber,,, yuk.
General comments?
I loved it. you could drive it up to the gas pump fill it up and not even get out of the car
drove mine to the beach 2+ times a week
eye catcher
easy to work on 2 guys can lift it on to two wheels, one guy balances it the other worked on the cv... wish I had pictures of me.. it had to be a sight..
I mis my 850. I had 3 total of these little gokarts.
