Yup. Agreed 100%. The Spider is a great "Girl's Car" :-). 72 Spider with Webers is silky smooth and blew away a Subaru Legacy the other day at Stoplights Grand Prix: the Legacy driver was trying but didn't know that there's nothing below 5000 rpm with those twin-turbo engines.
Those 90s US Spiders have been imported here but are not regarded as desirable so sell for about 1/2 the price of the carbed right hand drive version 70s Spiders. Duettos have been advertised at around $30,000NZ but I don't know if any of them have sold. It's a nice day here in Wellington NZ and I'm going to take the Spider for a run to get the cobwebs out of the engine and just dry it out after it's been sitting around for 2 months. One thing that bothers me about the Spider is that the body doesn't seem as rigid as a GTV's and there is definitely more flex. Any comments?
