1986

This is the second-series Fiat 850 Coupé that I bought in 1986. I owned it only for a short time because even back then some spare parts, especially body panels, were already difficult to find.

It was a fun little car, especially in the summer but in my opinion it had a couple of main drawbacks:

  • the engine coolant temperature would get quite high, often going over 90°C;
  • because the car sat very low, at night the headlights of oncoming cars were often right in your eyes.
