Woo hoo!
Excellent call on the color and no matte black Heritage Stripe. The Abarth will be fun!
Being the distinguished gentleman that I am, married to the distinguished Mrs. Stichill, we went with an '18 Lusso Red Top Edition in Moda Gray with Ivory leather interior.

Ciaio, baby!
P.S. If anyone's interested, my local dealer - [url=https://www.fiatusaofflorence.com/new-inventory/index.htm?make=FIAT&model=124%20Spider&gvBodyStyle=Convertible]Jake Sweeney Fiat of Florence (Kentucky) - recently bought 10% of the remaining US inventory of 124 Spiders. One week ago, they had 35 cars; as of this posting they have 15.
The ingress / egress procedure:
[li]Open door to widest extent[/li] [li]Turn perpendicular to the car, bum toward seat, and back toward car[/li] [li]Sit[/li] [li]Spin clockwise and draw legs into footwell[/li] [li]Close door
[/li]
Too, seat lowering rails are available. Me, being a short stuff, raised the rear of the seat rails 35mm off the floor for a better view.

(yeah, it is a problem)
