Hello from Whistler
Nice to find some like-minded Fiat enthusiasts. I have owned this particular spider for over 20 years and I do plan to restore it some day. It started as a daily driver, then summer only and now is summer, dry days, top down only as I try to make it last. Besides paint, pretty much every piece is original. I enjoy the maintenance and went for a spin on most sunny days this summer. I have checked in with this forum on many tricky issues and it has always provided some insights I had not found elsewhere so I am happy to officially join the forum. Perhaps there will be some opportunities for me to help others in the same way.
Cheers, Doug.

Hey Chris,
Just figured out the 2 forum bit. Not a soul on the hill today. Will likely engage 4 wheel drive on the way in tomorrow.
Cheers,
Doug

Re: Hello from Whistler
As for the year of the car, the door plate says Oct '69 as well as '69 stamped on the tail lenses. That said, I also figure it is more likely a 70 however all the paperwork on the car says '69 so I have always gone with that. It does have a rather unique feature in that the side markers are a 2 lense design which may be a clue to the year. Does anyone know what other years used this side marker?
