I think I'd be looking for one of these to deflate that thing before I got within 50 feet. That looks very dangerous.

If F1 wants to improve the show, I say we bring back active suspension. With advances in technology it should now be accessible by even the backmarkers.

They do work quite well in person. Pretty striking while still being cute. This is the one I helped build
For my money when it comes to old Abarths I will take an Allemano built coupe over any of the Zagato stuff
Still alloy bodied, still the same chassis and motor but not slapped together by Zagato. The Double bubbles and record monzas are so crudely formed, The glass held in by random bits of wood and visible welds and hammer marks are everywhere when you open the trunk and engine bays. The Allemano stuff is up there with the Pininfarina Ferraris of the early 60's in level of finish.

I have always had a soft spot for old Fiats. My dad said if I ever owned one that would go away very quickly.

Or you would fall in love with them like I did. Simple as a rock, FUN to drive and real head turners and conversation starters.
I am actually mid restoration on an Allemano Spider similar to that one right now.
Crap an actual photo of me with it!
