I'm on the forums of a few other brands, but I just acquired a new brand, so I figured I would stand up and introduce myself. 
The name's Graham, and I've been lucky enough to have my father give me his 1967 Fiat-Abarth 1000 OT Spider (that is in dire need of restoration).
Can any of you tell me more about it? My father says that it is similar to the Fiat 850 Spider imported here from early '60s to late '70s, but he went and picked this one up from the factory in Italy in 1967, then shipped it stateside and got it in the country just before the ban on covered headlights at the end of '68. Thats really all I know about it.
Does anyone have one also? I'm curious to see how many are in the country since the 1000 OT was never officially imported......
Thanks for the consideration,
Graham
