Advice on late 80s spider

[AgeG]

Hi Guys,

Can anyone help with info on late 80s spider, quattrofoglio (i think they were imported from america)

I hear mixed reports on whether they are a worthwhile purchase, but they seem to be a lot cheaper than the late 70s spider (i.e. AUstralian delivered). Is this because American emission controls killed the car in the 80s? or more to do with conversions done on American imports. I dont mind the big plastic bumpers.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Regards,

Adrian
