My Old Fiat

[fiat cc]

Just thought I'd post some pics of my old 1973 Fiat 124 coupe. It has a 2 litre 8 valve twin cam, with twin 45DCOE Webers, hi-comp pistons, 35-75 cams and extractors, putting out about 180bhp at the motor. Loads of poke, and heaps of fun to drive. It is currently being treated for the typical Fiat rust, but is otherwise in excellent condition. Anyone out there got one? Seems mostly new cars on this forum.
Cheers,
Reuben

Looks cool!!

Won't be many left in the UK. Probably not that many to start with to be honest!
Chap in the Alfa OC has a Fiat 125 saloon.

Hmmm, how do I make those links actually appear as images?

If you remove the space after pic] and the one before [/pic you should be fine.

Remove the space between [pic] http (you forgotten to include 'http' btw)

Thanks for that guys. I formatted it just like it says in the Formatting codes bit, should have thought of the spaces. Anyway, someone has done it for me now, thanks.

I've got a 124 spider amongst others, came from California so doesn't have the usual rust, and has spent its time this side of the Altantic in garages. Completely standard apart from the wheels (not my choice) and the removal of the smog equipment (again not my choice)





Sorry about the small pics, only one i've got of it at the moment.

It was never supposed to come over to France with me, but I got messed around by a buyer, (ebayer of course).

Great fun on the roads round here but its gonna have to go.

Thats a sexy Spider. I always thought the Fiat 124 Spiders were better looking than the Alfa Spiders (that should open a can of worms). They drive really well too, heaps of fun in the twisty bits!!!

I agree with you on the styling of the Fiat spider, its quite a masculine convertible, which I think is rare for a small car. Looks good from any angle. And light weight, 2.0L engine, short gearing, and chuckable handling make it a load of fun on the open road.

If you're interested, there's a great Fiat forum at www.turbo124.com
It's not all about 124's or turbo'd Fiats either, as the name might imply. It's been the best rescource for info on anything to do with these cars, where to get parts, performance mods etc. Well worth a look for anybody who owns a Fiat of any type!!!
