Stock '17 Classico automatic.

OK I know, but I bought it "new" (500 miles on the clock, never registered) from a SLC Fiat dealer in March 2019 for a very good price. Nobody buys convertibles in SLC in the Winter.

The automatic isn't brilliant but my wife and I are a bit too old for a stick although we don't quite need sticks yet. The only "trick" items are the vanity plate and my Harris Tweed bunnet. It's probably going to be hibernating for the Winter even sooner than expected. Snow is forecast for Friday :(

Where did you get the roof? How easy is it to remove/put on?
It's a 124GT, which comes standard with a carbon fibre hardtop, while still retaining the folding roof in situ. OZ wheels are also standard. Don't think it got to the States and pretty rare here in UK.... The Hard Top is around €3200 - €3800 to buy from Italy in Europe.... It must come in a decent box!!

Twister (my Border Collie) just loves to ride in my Spider. I have a harness for her and she is seat belted in, but I sure get some strange looks zipping down the road in a convertible with a dog. Some people don't realize she is seat belted in - I can tell by some of the looks I have gotten.
So what do you use to protect the seat? I've got a harness setup, but worry about our pups nails.

I don't do anything special. She is 7 months old and I keep her nails trimmed. I am fortunate that she either lays down or just sits and looks out. She doesn't jump around. I did get some seat covers that I will put on in the spring when I pull the car out.

I just have too much fun with her that, if I am going somewhere where dogs are allowed, I can't leaver her at home.
