Just published on Honest John Classics: purportedly, the Tipo is the fifth fastest disappearing car from/on British roads. Very sad....

No surprise there, salt is the biggest enemy, it feeds tin worm.
Not much of that used over here and even less in much of South America, where Tipos are still quite plentiful.

Been a harsh 4 years for the older Fiats, perhaps brought on by owners who wouldn't replace with a Stilo or Seicento (like me), skipping a generation or two, and getting a Bravo/Panda/GP/500?
I've had enough of 'electronickeral' cars to last for the rest of my life.
The initial idea may have been good in principal, but the end result is appalling, with over 85% of breakdowns occurring due to failed electronics.
OK, so it's the future, but I'll do my best to manage without, as I did for just over 60 years.
The best electronic item on modern cars, is the contact breaker-less ignition system, the rest belongs in a scrap bucket.

And Fiat Uno at number 16!
Disappearing in every way !
That's not "Disappearing" as such, it's being reconverted.

Reconverting into iron ore?
Ashes to ashes,
Dust to dust,
Nothing lasts forever.
