I always liked the FIAT 850 Coupe and Spider of 1970.  Styling and size was just right.  Seems the metal was quite thin and very prone to rust (but what '70s cars weren't).  That 850 cc engine (34 hp) had to work hard to keep up though.

There was a slightly more powerful Abarth one.

There was nothing below 3800 rpm. But boy, once you hit 4K that thing sang all the way up to 7000. And like every Italian car I’ve ever driven, not a stoplight GP car, but they’d sail at 80-90 all day long.
