I've got a white one. Originally from Italy so LHD. Its a 903 but I've completely stripped it and plan to make it into replica Sport, I've got most of the parts, just need to get my 1301 engine and head done plus the wheels need refurb. I'm keeping it white, so after its respray it should look good.
I'm going to need plenty of help and advise so, the more owners I can find the better!
When I said replica, I should have said to create something that pays tribute to the original Sport but with a few subtle differences- like colour, wheels and engine, stuff that many 127 enthusiasts are doing nowadays ??
Can't believe there have been so many replies, to be honest I wasn't expecting to get any, particularly as there is no 127 area on the site, can we make this happen?
Lovely Palio and CL by the way, and great to here people are still restoring them. I know of a Black Sport being restored at the moment, but I have never seen any at the shows I attend. I am hoping to display mine at the Silverstone Classic this year and the NEC Classic Motor Show, if I can find a club interested in having it.
Here are a couple more pictures, I just love it, takes me back to my youth.
I think there’s a button at the top of this section to request a new 127 section isn’t there?
I’ve had 127’s up at the NEC before (mine because there don’t seem to be any others offered), but an orange sport would be great. Generally speaking you’d need to be a member of the Fiat Motor Club (G.B.) though. I haven’t yet sorted out the cars for March (due to work commitments), so if you get your skates on that’s a possible!
So you put together the display then? I am happy to join the Fiat GB club, I will do it tonight. What is the March date? I thought the Motor Show was in November. My skates are on!
This is what mine looked like before. It’s totally rust free (almost), just has little dents and scuffs on every panel. Alloys are gone -not a fan. Should be resprayed soon, watch this space...
What wheels are you putting on?
Not sure yet. I’ve got a set of Palio wheels as a back up (I think they’re the best factory alloy for this car)
I’m still undecided. Minilites (or ultralites) are v nice, I like the Punto gt alloys too. I had a set of dark grey 14’ Lancia alloys, not sure if they were from a Y10 or Dedra, but ended up selling them.
All I know is, is that the deep dish looks really good on a 127.
