I'm tentatively planning my mid-life crisis and 40th birthday next year.
Subject to possibility and budget; I'm considering a 1969 model Fiat 500 (F or L model I believe). Although silver paint and deep red interior may not be 1969 de rigeur; I want to keep the exterior look of the vehicle classic but with highly improved and impressive handling and performance. I'm not necessarily looking for a formula 1 engine strapped to a milk-float type project and would like to take in to account ease of servicing. Someone has suggested a small Subaru engine could be the way to go. Anyway, I have 13 months and am looking for some advice and / or a specialist to carry out the work. Info gratefully received, with thanks, Glyn
