Barchetta in Montreal

Hello, been on the board for about a year. Finally figured out how to post pictures. I am building a Fiat Panda STRIP out of a 2dr Panda. You can see the posting in the Fiat Panda Classic section. Here are two pictures of my 1995 Barchetta.

I like your third brake light option better than Fiats wart on the boot affair. No offence if you've got a mark 2.

Re: Barchetta in Montreal

Hi Yul, your orange barchetta is simply wonderful!
Your wheels look like the Limited Edition wheel, solt in '98 in Italy. Are they the original equipment?
Also the third brake light is good: Is it an original equipment for Canadian barchettas?

Are there many barchettas in Quebec and in the whole Canada?
Bye
T.

Re: Barchetta in Montreal

Hello all, the Fiat Barchetta was never sold into Canada or the United States. There are only 4 Barchettas registered in Canada....and I own 3 of them. There are about 4 or 5 in the US. Very very rare car in North America. The color is amazing......luv the orange. The wheels are not original...purchased them from a supplier in San Francisco named Chris Obert (fiatplus.com) I have the original mags which have been cleaned and re-sprayed.

The third brake light was a challenge. Third brake light are required by Canadian Law. Personally I think the original third brake light teardrop on the trunk lid is very very ugly. SHHHHHH mine is off a 2009 Mazda Miata.

Thanks for all the kind words....can't wait till the snow melts and she is back on the road in early May.

Re: Barchetta in Montreal

Nice job with the 3rd brake light although I like my warty one. - as an expat Canadian in London, I wondered if anyone had one back "home" - If I come back, I'll be bringing mine with me.

I am humbled when I see posts from friends apologising for their English skills. Haha, you want to see some of the writing from the kids in my class.

Il vostro Englese e molto buona
