yes it works all ways , original unrestored cars are a blessing and make big money , the point i was making is take into consideration , all that has to be done to restore a car , and take lots of pics of the work pays off, thats why unrestored car are worth so much , again spend as much as u can AFFORD in your budget , allow 20% higher for the right car , but take ur time its a mine field ,

owen nw

wow! a 1975 500R for £19995

Way over priced but being in London it wouldn't surprise me if some posh young lady from Chelsea bought it. Especially added to the fact it has a synchromesh gearbox. I was told by a reputable Fiat spares supplier that both Sean and I have met???? That woman can't get their heads around double declutching!!!!!

Living dangerously Tony!......Of course they can. Even so, I am not planning to offer that Sheila drives the 500 to work. Although, having said that, her gear changing "technique" is actually perfectly suited to a Fiat 500 and having no 5th gear anyway it won't matter that she forgets it's there.:bang:

How about this one Sean currently on EBay.

£3,401 for a RHD needing extensive restoration although admittedly , far from the worst Ebay throws up (I got that one!)
