I do believe I left out the one on the length. My mistake. 15.9 ft. It would have been a real short spider!

Re: Towing a fiat spider
Be sure the tires are up to the weight! The max load is on the sidewall. And inflate them to the proper pressure

Re: Towing a fiat spider
that sounds scary! maybe rent a car-trailer? some provinces allow a car-dolly, they tow pretty well, i moved my fiat back home from Grand prairie to SA, 1200k or so. When my f-ing RR broke down @ a wedding this last summer in Vanderhoef, i had her flatdecked home @ a cost of $500, shop around, may be cheaper than a trip like that, i got quotes from 500-2500 for the trip.

OK I hired a car carrier company auto transport 123 to bring the car up on Nov/26/11. Price is really good. Will take photos of car when it arrives.
