Fiat Dino Forum (FDF)

Hey Fred, I have no doubt about what you write about the wrinkle or crackle paint. But my Dad had a 2000 Coupé with that paint on the covers! Also the car I bought earlier on this year, which was produced around the same period, still has remainders of that paint.( Have a look at my postings.) Furth...

A Spider or Coupé should remain as it is, and quite rightly, one important aspect of the car is its beautifully engineered V6 engine. (In my opinion the 2.0 l lightweight ...
