Hmm, Toronto isn’t that far, but I’d need to sort a way to store it on the Maple leaf side of the line for the next 2 years..

That's just 8 grand in a currency I understand! NP and twice on a Sunday! Fantastic color on a fantastic car for a fantastic price on the other end of the continent leaves room for plane tickets and gas money home as far as I'm concerned.

Ooo, awesome! The Barchetta is my favorite modern roadster...not a performance machine but a great cruising machine and a lot more reliable than people assume it will be. Plus, THE STYLING.....I really love the way they look, especially that rear end....
That one is in a very nice shade of blue...don’t think those rims are original, but I really like them! Probably a Japanese import - Barchettas were only sold in LHD form, but they did sell quite a few in Japan, so it was probably brought in from there! Not sure I like those front fogs though...
If you look in the back of shot, there looks to be a bright orange one (judging by the body and mirror shape) in the showroom behind too! Orange would be my preferred color, with black multispoke
rims!

I was about to say, wow two Alfa Romeo Spiders and then I saw the Renault Spiders. The real action is in their sold cars which include everything from a Traction Avante (not really the name, but. . .) to an Isetta 300!

EDIT: I scrolled wildly in the sold category and decided whatever lined up with my cursor was the car for me. It was.

Renault 4s are awesome!!! I would love a Traction someday...the dash-mounted
gearshift is awesome...and also backwards to what we are used to :P

Luckily you can get something similar on a Renault 4 I believe. Many of the early fwd cars had the gearbox in front of the engine. The Alfa Romeo Spider also has a dash mounted shifter but it is exactly like it is on the floor so normal pattern and action.

Well, a friend almost bought a black one in a verage condition for something like 2500-3000 € about two years ago to flip it but it wasn’t sure that it could be sold locally for much more than what it did cost .
Should have considered buying it to send it to Canada :)
