My procrastinating friend made a purchase of his first sports car yesterday, a very nice 1967 Fiat 850 Spider /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/driving.gif
It's fresh off a restoration, it just needs some minor work to make it look nice. Will need some minor bodywork (but the body is really quite solid), it is mechanically ready for the road.
I'm told that the early 850 Spiders are particularly desireable due to the covered headlights (before North American regulators wrecked that...) And I think he got an incredible deal, $1,500 in Canuck dollars. From what I saw it could easily be worth twice that, but I know he plans to keep it for awhile.
Oh yeah one more thing... he doesn't know how to drive standard and is learning on this car! He promised me to try to learn well enough to personally drive it down to our European Field Meet next weekend, but one way or the other he plans to have it down there to show off.
