>Spotted here in State College today was this circa 1972 Fiat 124 Spider. As would be expected of a Fiat, particularly in this part of the country, it has some rot in the body. The bottom of the rear fenders are looking a little lumpy, but all it all, a fairly presentable driver. Good to see the old chrome bumper Spiders still out there.
>Compare that to an MGB? I may or may not be brand bias here, but but an MGB of the same year is better looking. …and would rather push an MG than to drive a FIAT 😉
>Ehhh, I’m not saying the MG is a bad looking car, but I really think the Fiat is better looking. As far as arguing the reliablity of an MG vs. a Fiat…. ha, well…
I have always had spiders. My brother had a relatively new MG. My spider always came home under its own power. The mg came home alot on the end of a rope. The spider can out run, out handle and out brake an mg. It also looks better. The MG is dated when compared to a spider of any year. The spider has 4 wheel disc brakes, the mg dosent.
I vote FIAT!
