Ha - my dad who I see once a year handed me an old photo album a few weeks ago - I haven't seen these for over 20 years. I got loads but these two of a slimmer me with my Strada 60s are classic
I didn't care about the rust
I didn't address the oil leaks
I thought I was cool (WRONG!!)
Basically I bought this for £300 from some Delboy type motor dealer in Wirral in 1992 after losing my mk1 Strada in a car crash - it was needing a new exhaust - I got the exhaust done and then never cared to carry out any more mechanical stuff it needed - Oh how I have changed
This car was one of my favourite ever cars - I even put a dashboard from a 105TC into it - unfortunately I didn't reconnect the oil light and the engine seized one day on the M53 - bye bye Strada - considering my personal history with this car, out of the multitude of Fiats I've had this was one of the ones that wasn't a complete money pit - my 128 in the background was another misguiding labour of love that ended up being scrapped!
