After a 19 year hiatus and a lifetime love affair with these cars I am getting back into the hobby. Just purchased an '83 Pininfarina Spider all original except for a respray. Already have my eyes on a couple of "cosmetic" improvements. I may be in the minority here but I do like the tube bumpers and that '80s look. Currently in the shop getting safety cert and a once over. I'm located in the Toronto area.

Congrats! I am also from Canada (London) and just picked up an 83 as well. Mine is a project and won't see a licence plate for a few years, but I am excited to own my first spider!

Welcome back - I also have been working on my Fiats off and on for (shit!) more than 40 years.

My current car is an 83 Canada import Spidereuropa. I understand that 183 were imported to Canada. A rare breed....

Best, Ethan

Thanks Ethan. My ‘83 is also a Canadian import SpiderEuropa. From what I can gather it started its life in Scarborough, Ontario.
