General 130 Coupe in this month's (Feb) C&SC

[The Beard]

This month's Classic & Sports Car magazine has a brief comparison test between the Daimler Double-Six Coupe, BMW 3.0 CSi, Mercedes 450SLC and FIAT 130 Coupe.

Not really a direct, competitive, comparison to decide which is best but simply taking 4 1970's 4 seat coupes.

Don't know if I'd lash out the required £4.70 on the basis of that article alone, but it might be worth a quick scan in W.H.S.

I did because I love that magazine. It's full of all the cars I lusted after as a kid.

thought there should have been more of a write up/info. pictures ok,could have been better, the top speed is wrong (as usual)

When i was an apprentice at a fiat garage in reigate surrey in 1979, a 130 pulled into the workshop,i stood admiring at it at every angle i remember it took up at lot of space in the shop as it was a lot bigger than the other fiats of time, the biggest being a 132.
the job i was given was to replace the exhaust,on the floor on axle stands,it was like lying under a bus.
Those were the days!

That was hard to do! Should have been done on a lift!
