I have got a very good hint for you to keeping the nice old Engine in good shape with todays ultra dry eco fuels: Use 1:100 API TC two stroke oil / fuel mix as regular driving fuel, that keeps the old fuel-system gaskets, rubber parts, alloy parts etc... and cast iron metal surfaces of those vintage engines in excellent shape...and it also lubricates the valves and upper piston regions. Most Porsche vintage owners in Germany do so :) Also keeps carbs and tank clean and rustfree

Dont forget to put 1:100 two stroke Oil API TC into the tank for each fill, because thats good for the carbs and the pistons..modern fuel does not take care of the old engine materials!
@RetteMichNun If it's like the 81 spider 2000 that I had, there are back seats - but no seat belts in the back. That made getting it through inspection reeeeaaally fun. Still, it was a fun car that I wish I still had.
I have a car nearly identical to this one. My Fiat Spider is a 1981, 2L 4cyl, fuel injected, convertible. And its gold. Which engine does this one have
It has the 2000cc 4 cylinder. It's red, but a really ugly red. The paint has faded a lot... I hope to next summer, maybe work on it a bit for my grandfather.
No the Opel inline 6 24 Valves DOHC is just the best engine ever built....it also has a variable DUAL Ram induction and it sounds soooo much better than any italian screamer.
I dont wanna drive a car that sounds as a chainsaw or drunken monkey screaming EIIIIEIIIIEIIII :)
Actually, we think that there is a slight exhaust crack near the head, which starts to rattle at about 3000 rpm or so. It could also be the flywheel. We don't know, but she defiantly needs A LOT of work.
man I love that car

The motor was warm when I did that. ;)
We had driven it to town about 3 miles away, so she way pretty circulated.
