Great, thanks for that. As a post '65 owner I'll just stand and watch. Can I hold anyone's coat?

I have a 66F Bambina one. Don't think it's rare.

I don’t know what all the fuss is about Tim? We both know that by 1966, Fiat had ironed out all the prototype issues and perfected the perfect examples. Unfortunately post 1966 it all went down hill again!

well they only made 5000 Bambinas.. so that dos make them rarer than the Euro mass produced ones...
and yours also has the additional feature of having the steering wheel on the correct side..

Interesting – I didn't realise. This is a little off topic. I'll put a question up in it's own thread.

Ok so today I dropped off my parts for vapour blasting and this afternoon I had a call to say they were ready for collection so as you can imagine I’m over the moon as parts do get lost in the post or miss layed .

Well they’ve certainly cleaned up nicely. and a very quick job indeed.

Did you have to do any pre-cleaning to any of the parts? I ask this as when I had my starter levers vapour blasted locally I was asked to make sure there was no grease or paint left on which I thought rather defeated having them blasted

I just wiped the worse off and took them as they was pictured in my post last night....... what a top bloke he is :slayer:slayer:

Original Fiat part numbers.. that's what we like to see,,,,

Ok .
Today’s update I’ve stripped out the gearbox so tomorrow more nice clean parts.i see the number 110 pops up a lot on my parts so I’m assuming with the fiat still a litttle new in my world these are the genuine parts ??

Hence TIPO 110

See Peter, I told you the N box is the same as the D.


Andy, before you rebuild your box I wouldn't mind popping round so we can check to see if there are any differences between the N & D box.
Its not often we are likely to have the 2 apart at one time


I know Peter would like a comparison done for his little note book. Or should I say computer data base

Well I guess my input is no longer required in relation to early cars :wave::devil:

Yeah be good for a second pair of eyes to have a look .

Nice and clean

If there’s anybody out there as sad as me here’s some more 110 part numbers foe reference

I think you will find there are some members out there who are secretly scribbling these numbers down.

if you have the factory parts lists.. they are all in there....

I have a 'pukka' factory parts manual, soif anybody ever needs factory part numbers for mechanical parts (sorry, I don't have a body panel parts book), you only have to e-mail me and I will happily look it up for you.
