UP FOR AUCTION IS A BEAUTIFUL, EXTRMELY LOW MILEAGE, 1981 FIAT SPIDER 2000 ROADSTER. READY TO GO! IT IS BOTH A HOT/SEXY ROADSTER AND A SIMPLE/ECONOMICAL CAR TO OWN. I AM HAPPY TO OFFER THIS EXTRAORDINARY CLASSIC ITALIAN SPORTS CAR DESIGNED BY PININFARINA FOR FIAT. THE CLASSY CONVERTIBLE'S HOT RED BODY IS COMPLIMENTED BY A TAN TOP AND REMARKABLY WELL KEPT TAN INTERIOR. I BELIEVE THE CAR WAS REPAINTED AS THE FINISH IS VERY SHINY. THERE ARE A FEW MINOR DINGS AND CHIPS BUT NOTHING THAT WARRANTS REPAIR. THERE IS ZERO RUST ANYWHERE. THE INTERIOR IS IN EXTREMELY NICE CONDITION. THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS WITH USUAL ISSUES SUCH AS FADED WOODWORK OR TIRED UPHOLSTERY. THERE ARE 2 VERY MINOR CRACKS IN THE CENTER CONSOLE AROUND THE HANDBRAKE. DOORS CLOSE SMARTLY, THE TRUNK OPENS EASILY AS DOES THE HOOD. NOTE THE CLEAN ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THIS IS THE HIGHLY DESIRABLE 1981 YEAR MODEL WITH THE LEGENDARY 1995 CC POWER PLANT AND HAS FUEL INJECTION. A 15K MILE (current odometer reading is 14K and change) METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED EXAMPLE, UNMOLESTED CLASSIC FEATURING CORRECT FIAT ALLOY WHEELS WITH MATCHED SET OF NEARLY NEW PREMIUM SUMITOMO RADIALS. THE CUSHION GRIP STEERING WHEEL IS VERY NICE. ALL GUAGES WORK INCLUDING THE HORN, LIGHTS, INCLUDING COURTESY LIGHT WHICH ILLUMINATES INTERIOR. TURN SIGNALS ARE FULLY OPERABLE, ALL GUAGES WORK PROPERLY, AS DOES THE SPEEDOMETER, ODOMETER. CLOCK WORKS BUT ADJUSTMENT KNOB NEEDS REPAIR. DOORS LOCK WITH KEY. HEATER WORKS WELL. AFTERMARKET AM-FM CASSETTE RADIO PERFORMS WELL. THERE IS A BOOT TO COVER THE COVERVETIBLE TOP. I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM THE PREVIOUS OWNER WHO WAS A FIAT MECHANIC, THE CAR WAS BELIEVED TO BE IN STORAGE FOR NEARLY 15 YEARS PRIOR TO HIS RECONDITIONING OF THE VEHICLE. IT WAS A CLASSIC "BARN FIND." MANY NEW PARTS INCLUDING: NEW RADIATOR NEW FUEL TANK NEW SHOCKS NEW TIRES NEW BRAKES NEW HOSES/FILTERS, ETC. NEW EXHAUST SYSTEM NEW BATTERY NEW FRONT END PARTS AS NEEDED ETC.ETC. THE CAR IS IN TIP TOP MECHANICAL CONDITION THERE IS A SPARE TIRE BUT NO WHEEL OR JACK PERFORMANCE IS SIMPLY AMAZING. YOU'LL FEEL LIKE YOU'RE DRIVING A FERRARI, (THIS DOES REQUIRE JUST A LITTLE IMAGINATION!) IT STARTS UP FIRST TIME EVERY TIME WITH A TURN OF THE KEY AND PURRS LIKE A FINE ITALIAN FELINE. RESPONSE TO DRIVER’S URGING TO ACCELERATE IS IMMEDIATE AND SMOOTH. 5-SPEED TRANSMISSION SHIFTS AS IF BRAND NEW AND REVERSE IS EASY TO FIND! HANDLING IS NICE AND TIGHT. I WOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM DISPATCHING THE CAR OR EVEN JUMPING IN IMMEDIATELY FOR A CROSS-COUNTRY JOURNEY. I PURCHASED THIS CAR FROM A REPUTABLE SELLER ON eBAY AND AM ONLY SELLING BECAUSE I BOUGHT A JAGUAR XK8. THE CAR PERFORMS GREAT AND I GET COMPLIMENTS WHEREVER I GO! A REASONABLE "BUY IT NOW" OPPORTUNITY IS POSTED FOR THOSE WHO DON'T WANT TO FUSS AND WAIT FOR THE AUCTION. THE SUCCESSFUL BIDDER MAY ANTICIPATE MY COOPERATION WITH DELIVERY IF NEEDED. SHORT TERM STORAGE WITH COMPLIMENTS AVAILABLE AS WELL. IT'S A "2+2" AND YOU CAN SQUEEZE KIDS OR SMALL FRIENDS IN THE BACK SEAT! 2 SETS OF KEYS AND AN OWNERS MANUAL,AND RADIO MANUAL. I HAVE A COPY OF THE PREVIOUS TITLE WHICH SHOWS 8,000 MILES. MANY YEARS OF HAPPY MOTORING TO THE FORTUNATE NEW OWNER. PICTURES OF CAR SPEAK TO IT'S CONDITION. NOW IS THE TIME TO BUY SO YOU CAN ENJOY THE WHOLE SUMMER!
