It was delivered with AC! But AC in Spiders was never very good, though it was good enough to help in Atlanta summers when you had to get the top up because of rain or whatever. The system is still all there except for the compressor, special bracket and belt.

It would be relatively easy to put functioning AC back into my E12 - everything behind the firewall is still there, and I’ve talked to AC Solutions about the front half of the system - but I may or may not ever get to this. The Fiat is a lifetime car for me.
