Upper Middle Petrol Head:

Our South East Queensland correspondent, PeteR, has ditched Australia for a holiday in equally sunny Lisbon, where he spotted this lovely Fiat Spider.   It looks like it might be a  BS , with the B denoting a second series car and the S standing for Spider (the AS   preceded today's example while the CS was the follow-up model in the same way that the 124 Sport Coupes were designated AC , BC and CC ,   but   with the C standing for coupe). This is only a guess, mind you; the car's wearing 1600 badges which, in Australia at least, was the engine capacity most commonly fitted to  BS and BC 124s. It's also fitted with the much nicer - read not fat, ugly US federally-mandated - bumpers that blighted later versions of the Spider.
