The final version of the Fiat 124 Sport Spider was sold as the "Fiat Spider 2000", for its two liter (well, actually 1,995cc) twin-cam motor.
Fiat retired the car in 1981, but Pininfarina, who had originally built the bodies, took over manufacture and continued selling them as the Pininfarina Spider for a few more years.
It only put out roughly a hundred SAE Net horsepower, and reliability was par for the course for a '70s Fiat with kludged-on U.S. emissions, but they sure were fun when they were running, and when they weren't you had something pretty to look at while waiting for the tow truck.
This example was photographed in September of 2021 using a Hasselblad Lunar & Sony Zeiss 16-70mm f/4 zoom lens.
