ive owned the car for 4 years. its hardly moved... yes, ive tried to sell it a number of times because it simply isnt getting used. maybe its because in my eyes its worth alot more than they seem to be selling for.
it really is an excellent example but will require some minor tidying up.
ive got boxes and boxes of spares, the original fiat workshop manuals in blue folders, and masses and masses of history. the bloke who owned it before me spent a fortune on it.
im unsure why so much has been spent on performance parts because surely a better route would of been to put the 20v turbo lump in.
im 44, the previous owner was 50+ and had owned the car for a number of years.
these forums are a great place but can also be a dangerous place when people make assumptions based on there own thoughts without actual proof. the car passes its mot no issues every year. its well sorted and solid. maybe the stripes,wood steering wheel,after market seats and black wheels arent everyones cup of tea. maybe it would be better original. but i think it looks quirky and certainly different.
i question the power because with the mods i think it should be quicker, but one of my daily drives is 357bhp with masses of tourque. my summer car is 420bhp with 500+nm of torque, then ive a knockabout diesel thats 155bhp with loads of torque.
ive aload of cars. the fiat is one that im struggling now to dry store. i cant handle it being outside. this forum is probably a great place for me to gain some knowledge and help when i need it.
