Tipo (Classic) My 1990 Fiat Tipo 1.4 DGT G204XBC

Overview Gallery Discussion

Introduction

Heres is my 1990 Fiat Tipo 1.4DGT . G204XBC which I bought in 1991 from Swithland motor company in chesterfield for £5500.00, it was 1 year old when I bought it and had 10,000 miles on the clock, now it has 74,000 miles but I only use it in summer now, I did something like 15 miles since the last MOT !
Best car I ever had and according to how many left one of only 8 still taxed.

I must admit that I completely agree with you as far as the Tipo is concerned. It's the first 'older' car that I've driven with P/S.
On cars built in this century it's fine because most regulate with speed and aren't as 'sloppy' as the Tipo, which took a little getting used to.
I initially bought an EPAS setup and made all the necessary alterations to a spare steering column etc., but decided that fitting a 'large round' motor in a 'small square' hole was a bridge too far.
It would be perfect because it has a manually controlled adjustable electronic power input from OFF through to EASY for parking.
It may yet be a job for a sunny day if I ever get bored.

Let's put it this way don't sneeze doing 100 down the motorway in a car with power steering ,this is why I like the Tipo !

Still got them, Grande punto is parked on the garden as we have run out of space on the drive and the seicento I have rebuilt all the rear suspension at work but the tax has run out before I finished it so it's on sorn untill the beginning of next month so I can tax it again,so we have 6 vehicles now and a closed down garage has had a fiat Uno stood outside for the last 9 years according to dvla which I have offered to buy and it looks like it will be coming with me, don't know if it is savable yet but it's worth a gamble ! Trouble is I can only drive one at once !!!

1 can never have too many Fiats! :) If I had the money, I could quite easily fill a multi-storey car park with Fiats, lol! Keeping fingers crossed that you're able to save that Uno. When will you be able to put pictures up on here?

Yes ,got it now,the guy managed to get the brakes freed off and someone towed me up to my place on the end of a bar, I have been quite busy at work the last few days so not had time to have a detailed look but after standing outside since 2008 because the clutch was slipping I don't know if it is saveable or not,I have seen in classic car magazines much worse cars brought back into mint condition but I have this feeling it may be too much work for me to do.However watch this space !
 
Already posted a photo in another thread,I knew buying the Uno would lead to other things however, the owner of the garage now is asking if I want to buy his cherished Fiat 131 supermirafoiri ,he says it's due to a change in his circumstances and he would like it to go to a serious collector but i simply don't have any inside space to park such a rare car, according to his many left it's one of only 3 ,been to see him today and took a photo of a picture he has and hopefully going to try and advertise it on the forum tomorrow.
