Is it red?
The seller phoned me to say he'd just been to get the car out for the first time since lockdown and noticed a slow puncture and the battery had drained!
I'm still going to check it out when he gets it sorted, though I'll invest in a trickle charger and budget for a new battery if I end up buying.
... and then wonder why your insurance premium has sky-rocketed. ;-)
The main things to be sure of is that the engine actually is the same as the higher output one (it might be the same block and head but have forged conrods), and get it remapped by someone sensible.
I've heard of a couple of people had blown piston rings on stage 2 remaps from a particular well known tuner who I won't name who put too much extra torque low down the rev range where it can do damage. Compare that with someone like Litchfield who do a very sympathetic remap.
Belting set of Bose speakers in the thing, too \m/
I'm a big fan of the MX-5 Mk4 but have to concede that your 124 Spider is rather lovely. But build/reliability wise, is it more Fiat or Mazda?
The ND is a really pretty car and fantastic, cohesive bit of design.
Well it's about 3 years old now, and I've had it for 12 months. Thus far nothing has gone wrong with it *touches wood / clutches rabbit's foot, etc*
...in marked contrast to its Maserati predecessor... I'm just a sucker for Italian design on cars
I think this review sums it up very well:
@jerkmoans - lovely barchetta
The 1.4 turbo engine is all Fiat but has been around for a long time on various Abarth version Fiat 500s so shouldn't be horrendous for reliability either
The infotainment system is Mazda too I think.
