Shame to see it left there. They are great car!! Anyone who says otherwise either just doesn't like them, or bought a duff one. Edited by Composer62 on Friday 9th July 09:57

Got another pic of the FIAT .. it's a 20v Turbo .. so can't get much better spec wise, Seems a shame but as noted, how could you acquire ownership ??
Maybe approach the Car Park owners. Surely they must be able to begin legal proceedings to seize the vehicle in order to recover parking costs, they may already have the wheels in motion. If they know they have an interested party in the wings they might be inclined to do so. However, it's bound to be a lot of hassle for a car that's not worth much.

Thanks for all the advice guys. In the cold light of day I think it would be more hassle than it's worth Mellow Yellow said:

The Plus & LE models are of course worth than the standard one.

I wouldn't mind having a go for that if you can let me know which car park it is? I may or may not come to my senses about this as an idea later in the thread!
Sure, it's at Ocean Terminal - Red car park (I think, can never remember which is which). 2nd or third floor as I recall.
Best of luck
Now this is a rare thing … I spotted it the other week and got a pic today. 1982 Saab, MoT expired in Sept 2019. Maybe it should be in the cool classics thread, but the lack of MoT got it in this thread. It had one MoT in the last few years by the looks of it so was maybe off the road stored for a long time.
Looks like that could be Terracotta red , a rare colour on a rare car as no one bought 99s in the 80s , when a 900 was the obvious choice.
No power steering on a RHD 99 and big tyres made parking an effort .
I bought a 1 owner 150,000 mile 99 in 1995 , a 1984 car , last year for this model for just £300 .
Should have kept it much longer than I did .

On one of our family road trips in the 80s we stayed with friends in Paris who had a white 304. I remember being squashed into the back of it whilst the dad drove us around showing us the famous sights - I was about 10 at the time and vividly remember ignoring all the sights and staring at the cars in the traffic with their silver on black number plates and yellow headlights. "And on the left you can see the Arc de Triomphe" he'd say whilst I'd squeak "oh look, look, look! A Citroen SM!!!" or something for about 3 hours!!Longnose said:

Just to show pedantry is alive and well on PH, I believe it's a 1964 Biscayne. The model name position inside an indent on the rear wing looks like 1964. The '63 was different in that area.Gassing Station | Classic Cars and Yesterday's Heroes | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
