    After much research and heart ache I found my 348. I absolutely love it. I’m glad I ignored the haters and went for the under dog.
    A pure analog drive loads of power easy shifting hot or cold and just absolutely love it. 27k miles uk rhd and two owners plus a trader ( don’t count in my book )
    Full tool kit ( that never gets used )
    Yes the front wheels are on the wrong way I’ve just been to busy enjoying it.
    I’m so pleased I went for the spider it gives me the pure convertible feeling I’m used to but each to their own I love them all. I’m sure I can feel the extra bhp and it handles excellent.
    I’ve already fettled a couple of items thanks to the forum so a massive thank you to all the contributors.

    Agree with everything you said except this. Maybe you have a magic gearbox. Enjoy it. It’s pretty.

    I know. After reading so much I’m as surprised as you are. It’s come with major service and clutch work done so it’s been well maintained. Very easy between gears too.
    A light feel to the pedal as well. Mind you I’m used to driving classics maybe someone jumping in from a Tesla would find it all a bit hard work

    Mine was difficult shifting when I got it . Sent to Enso automotive ( near Wetherby U.K. ) he adjusted the linkages and that’s all it took .Shifts beautifully .
    It had had a engine out cam belt job before I got it and I don’t think it was properly road tested due to the winter weather ?

    They are great cars the Spiders .
    About as modern as I want to go . Ex 360 F1 owner here btw .

    As you can see an analogue collection all almost as simple as wheel barrow by todays modern electrotwackery standards .

    Congrats @eddie348 ! Fellow Spider owner here... imported #99211 to NZ from the UK 3 years ago. (UK rego was L7HFK). They are a complete thrill to own, drive and wrench. Own = gazing at it in the garage, countryside rest areas; Drive = go-kart handling, top-down sound, gated shift; Wrench = the advice, tips and general 'love' from the 348 brotherhood via this forum. Enjoy!

    Fair stable there, sir. Nice to know you would take the 348 over any of those.
