Comprehensive, but all black and white,
By Kevin C "Kevin" (Cleveland, OH) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Fiat and Abarth 124 Spider and Coupe (Paperback)
It was a gift for my stepfather who owns a 124 Spider. I just browsed through it so I'm not 100% knowledgeable about how good the content is. The table of contents did seem comprehensive. Maybe I missed it in the description, but I was a little surprised that the pics were all black and white. Either way, he said he loves the book.
