I had an ‘80 Fiat Spider and had electrical problems with it. Was a fun car to drive but rusted like crazy when I had to use it in winter.
Funny story: I left a six pack of club soda in it overnight. When it froze the bottles exploded sending one jagged glass top through the rag top. Opened the door in the morning and the interior was coated with frozen foam.
The X1/9 had horrendous electrical problems. The wipers would sometimes go on by themselves, and since it had flip-up headlights, one day as we were driving down the road, one headlight would just pop up and go down continuously..........
