Bourne End in Bucks too far? Tony Elder was working on Fiats for a dealer when these were new, and runs a delightfully old school back street garage (with his assistant Woody who's just what a Woody should look like) & certainly knows how to spanner '70's Fiats. :idea:
Where are you in Herts? I'm across in Princes Risborough, but often go through Hemel & over to Harpenden.
Cool! Great, I'll contact them.
I actually live in Sydney australia, but my dad has the engine and trans... Which we liberated from a totally rotted out 131 in '93. There was not much else left of the original car... Anyhow, it has lived for the last 20 years in our 1963 Minor..... Don't throw bricks anyone!
Quite a lot of Fiat twin cams have ended up in other cars - we take it as a compliment as long as a good car hasn't been chopped (not much chance of that with a 131 these days, have you seen the prices??!! ).
You need to speak to Tony Elder. It's Bourne End Garage Services, 1 Oakfield Road, Bourne End, SL8 5QW. 01628 533236 or 07891 614763. I don't think he does interweb type stuff! I don't think you'll get favoured treatment, but feel free to mention my name.
Forgot to say thanks for tagging that Charlie varesecrazy - I am straying out of the Classic Panda section more, but probably wouldn't have seen this thread again! :slayer:
Thanks very much. I'll give him a call.
BTW, does anyone know of an electronic ignition which would fit this engine? it has the TC Weber and standard points at the moment.
I did post a couple of pics of the twin cam minor in the gallery and was trying to attach one here, but no luck with the attachment...
