I don't have a PDF copy but a lot of places sell printed copies for about $50. Check out Vick Auto or Midwest Bayless, etc.

i bought the one form bayless. its ok.2inches thick but found that was better off with brookland books shop manual for the 124 from amazon. used copy was $16 and way more informative. time and skill level guides plus step by step instructions seemed clearer too

Reviving an old thread. I bought the Booklands Books shop manual (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1855200791)and while it's better than a Chilton's, There's nothing on body components (adjusting the windshield or convertible top), nor are there any detailed wiring diagrams. I'm going to reqire my Fiat with a painless harness, so I'm not sure if it's worth getting the Bayless manual (appears to be color vs. the Vicks unit).
Can anyone who's done a full restoration comment on the factory manual? The body, suspension, and bare engine are probably going to be the only components that will remain stock-ish.

Found almost everything I could have wanted as far as official documentation goes, thanks to Brad Artigue's online archives.

Brad also wrote a great book, "Maintaining the Italian Roadster", which is all about maintaining these cars. The book is available form a number of booksellers.

I bought PDF from http://www.spiderroadster.com

They don't have it listed as available in PDF but if you email them they might accommodate you
