[quote W50RA0U5RGVEVAC8]I too remember the Fiat 850 Mark as it sure was one that went like hell with the pedal to the metal, just don't back off when entering corners as I found out when test driving on [it almost rolled] but the dealer suggested keep the power on so to the floor it went and managed to save it.[/quote] Yes Blinkie, I think the advice for all drivers of rear-engined cars was to keep "the pedal the metal" when cornering! Obviously I have a soft-spot for the 850 Sport Coupe given many memorable drives in my dad's nice example. I often wonder what happened to it, because he sold it when I was on a working holiday in the UK. If you're interested, I wrote a story about one that competed in the 1972 Bathurst 500 and it's one of my favourite yarns: https://club.shannons.com.au/club/news/racing-garage/fiat-850-sport-coupe-bathurst-on-borrowed-tyres-a-sandwich-a-coke-and-8000-rpm/
