Although I consider its design a less than successful reinterpretation of Tom Tjaarda's 1960s masterpiece, I feel I owed the little #Fiat roadster a bit of an apology. As a die-hard MX-5 fanboy and former owner of a 2017 model, I wouldn't like to see a world without the little Japanese roadster, and the agreement with then-FCA signed in 2012 helped make a viable business case for the current MX-5 to be made in the first place. Moreover, there's a lot to like about the #124Spider and this video is my little homage to the little Italo-Japanese sportscar, that left us too soon. #Fiata
