Let's see your Fiats!

From many many years ago.

Another angle of my favourite Fiat, from the "Watches" thread.

I would upload an image of my coupe but the system in here will not allow. I’m on apple Ipad which used to be OK but no longer. Very weird.

A few pics of my 125 Special 1972, original factory paint even.. My dream car bar none.
Shame it's destroyed completely in a garage fire 2014.

That really was a sweet car Per,I don't think I've seen pics of it before. A special coupe was lost also in that fire mate and I will never forget our time on track together.

My old one:


...and its replacement:


The new one is obviously “better” but I’m not sure I’m as fond of it just yet...

My new acquisition, twin air 4x4 with the winter pack


Pulls really well for a piddly 0.9 and sounds like a Ducati!

Love this! How’s the economy out of interest?

Well, I bought it on the Saturday, it was ready for collection on the following Friday and I shipped out for work on the Saturday so I only got to drive it 5 times. My wife runs it about while I'm away. It should get around 50 to the gallon on a long run though. Cam chain engine and a full service history, so servicing should be cheap.
My test drive queries were;
What does it pull away like off a roundabout and does it rev high at 70 mph motorway cruise speed. It pulls well and it has a 6 speed box so is quite quiet on the dual carriageway. OK it's a short wheelbase buggy so it jumps around a fair bit but that's to be expected.
Came with winter pack and some sort of new fangled connectivity thing for my phone, my 19 year old can figure that one out...

Thanx Patrick!
Yes it certainly was, special to me as I was brought up in these (partly) and have great memories of the engine/transmission noises, smells etc, and how they basically went like stink in the day.

Oh that SpaItalia weekend in 2014!
One of the greatest trips I've done, and a fantastic tracktime.
Hey, why not make a revisit!?

Thanks for sharing that, as it must still be painful.

My 2nd car was a 1970 Fiat 125 in Olive Green and I loved it, despite the vinyl seats! If only my Dad had bought a Special with the "cloth" inserts (and a 5 speed box).

I've seen a couple of rare Fiats at a local classic car meet lately. The first was a manual 130 Coupe in December and the next was a 130 Saloon on Sunday - stunning cars.

I saw that the other day. I think it looks fantastic - especially the interior - from all angles.

Except for the back. It's as if they'd run out of creative juices at that point and just connected the two sides together with some straight lines.

Looking forward to seeing the new Panda. The concept for it was also really something!

Fantastic 130's...

Seen a stunning red Coupe in Australia with 3 twin weber's, appearently the 3200 responds pretty well to tuning, even a mild one like that.

Edit:
Wasn't this one but has the same wheels

Currently sorting this racer to be back on the road for the first time since 1990


and using this one when the sun shines:

So I gave up alcohol for Lent and now own three Punto HGT's.





Got the rally car MOT'd Friday rectifying a few bodges. If anyone knows the car I would like to find out a little about the old girls history and how she did in competition. See my Punto HGT van thread for more details.
