Hi I'm jes cooper in woodland hills California.
I just aquired a 1970 850 spider completely original with soft and hard fiat tops. It's named the mustard seed as the color is yellow and the license plate also named.the car was given to my son and I from an elderly gentleman who could no long drive the car. The car runs ok but is in need of some cosmetic and mechanical restoration. We will restore and use it for weekend fun. I promised the gentleman I have no plans to sell it and will pick him up for weekend rides.
I have found lots of useful information and look to tap further members in our journey to restore the mustard seed as I have found parts don't come easy.
I am happy to be part of this community and excited to start this journey.
In the area dominated by lambos, farraris and porsches, they may have power and a price tag to match but they don't have the charm reminiscent of a better time. All you fiat owners know what I'm talking about. Bless u all and look forward to further conversation.
Jes
