Fiat Spider - Classic Car

Fiat Spider - Classic CarFiat Spider - Classic Car

Beautiful car. 1980 Fiat Spider in gorgeous Cappuccino Bronze with a tan convertible top, tan interior, and factory alloy wheels. Original West Virginia car with only two owners since new, only 30,143 actual miles, and recently checked over by Boffo Jaguar with $3263.32 in receipts. The original twin-cam 2.0 liter fuel-injected engine is 100% factory stock. Starts immediately and settles into a smooth quiet idle. Runs perfectly on regular gas and there are no issues; no smoke, no leaks, no noises. Pulls strongly through the gears and the 5-speed manual transmission (with overdrive) shifts perfectly & allows relaxed highway cruising. Rack & pinion steering and power four-wheel disc brakes for safe fun driving. Lovely tan bucket seat interior with the wood dash and factory leather steering wheel. No wear on the seats, no wear on the carpets, no cracks in the dash, no sunfade on the instruments. All of the gauges works correctly and even the clock keeps accurate time. Dealer installed stereo with power rear antenna (sounds great). The front seats recline, have the factory headrests, and the rear seat is appropriate for small children or parcels. Incredibly nice interior. Excellent body with no signs of corrosion repair, collision damage, and all panels are factory original. Very nice paint in factory correct Cappuccino Bronze Metallic base/clear. This is an outstanding color that literally glows in bright sunlight with its gold basecoat. There are several small scratches too minor to show in photos and too minor to have addressed; they cannot be seen unless under scrutiny. Excellent glass and all windows operate smoothly. Excellent window whskers, weatherstripping, and trunk molding. The original tan canvas convertible top is in good condition and the rear window is clear. The top operates easily and the parade boot is also in excellent condition. Excellent brightwork and front & rear bumpers. The trunk contains the original spare tire, original jack assembly, original tool kit, and a car cover. Beautiful factory alloy wheels (never curbed) fitted with brand new Yokohama P185-60-14 radials. Documentation includes the original window sticker ($10,348), all of the factory pamphlets, sales brochure, consumer information, and the maintenance records. The US Naval Academy decal is still in the window and the car has just passed rigorous state safety inspection.

This design rhoades car quadcycles a design car concept classic beacause this car looks unique. Here's an odd ride: the Rhoades Car, a two-seater, four-wheel bike (quad?) that can be pedaled by one or both passengers to power through 36 hill-climbing gears. The company also makes four-seater and more ruggedized versions—you can even get a model powered by a pedal-electric hybrid motor. Accessories abound, with canopies, fenders, lights, and yes—chrome wheels.

The 541S Jensen British Classic Car


Not much is known or has been written about the 541S Jensen British classic car. The classic car that was made in Britain in the sixties is often ignored by the enthusiasts of the classic cars perhaps because not so many of them were made and also because their automatic version earned a very poor reputation as it never performed as it was expected to. The 541S Jensen British classic cars were designed by a Briton, Eric Neale of a company that was at that time owned by Alan Jensen. The first of their models were; Jensen CV8, that was created prior to the Interceptor and with a six-liter V8 engine, as well as 541S. The cars were hand built and had minimal maintenance requirements and in addition, their bodies were rust free. In 1965, CV8 was rated as the speediest four-sitter car. Before the production of the CV8, the other favorite model was the 541 (chiefly the Jensen 541S) that had a four liter straight 6 Austin Princes engine.

It is so surprising that despite the fact that 541S Jensen British classic car received more awards than any other classic cars of the time; it has not been comparatively expensive. The CV8 that was designed by Dave Horton and Jensen Owners club are credited for having won awards such as "Car of the show," "Best club stand, "and "Best of the master class" among other awards. The awards were deserved because the West Bromwich-based Jensen brothers designed and made cars that were extremely good. They are also credited for having being the pioneers of the disk brakes for a four-wheel drive that was the first to utilize the wind tunnel on the car's body design. The brothers are also praised for stressing on the importance of car safety. The fist car to be designed with standard safety belts was the 541S and was also padded with soft material below and above the dashboard. In addition, the window winders and the door handles were made to fit the recessed panels so as to minimize any possible harm.

Jensen brothers also won the "Silver medal for coach work" for producing a four sitter car that was also the fastest then. For a long time afterwards, the Jensen brothers' work on polyester resin coach and glass fiber has continued to stand the challenges of time. The car has a straight six-liter engine that has been designed with three SU huge carburetors and that is also connected to Jaguar Moss synchromesh gearbox which has an override. More over, the car servo works well with Dunlop disk brakes, a combination that places the car in the class of its own. The CV8's power is peculiar as very few cars which were produced in the early 1960's can be utilized as daily cars many years later.

Out of the one hundred and twenty seven 541S cars that were made from 1960 to 1962, only twenty two were of manual drive version. Though the car is little known today, it was at that time regarded as the most luxurious model of 541S.
