Hello from Sydney

[SPY124]

Hi all, pleased to be here.

Another old school Fiat tragic here.

My collection at the moment:

An egg shell blue 1959 103d Millecento awaiting a sympathetic clean up and mechanical check.

A Positano yellow 1971 128 four door which I plan to track one day, and probably the reason why I'm here looking for engine options outside of the SOHC.

My most recent and prized Fiat, a 1971 128 2 door sedan which I'm currently using as my daily driver in standard 1116cc.

The SpyCar, a 1974 CS1 Fiat Spider which I imported from San Fran in 1991 and sloooowly restored. She has been with me the longest and in our time together she has done every thing from escorting my wife and I on our wedding day to club days out on the track and a regular at club show and shines.

Then we have Goldielocks the 1984 131 Mk3 Superbrava which I found last year. My brother and I have since been developing her into an Improved Production track hippy. So far so good, preparation has been on track and we look forward to our first hit out next weekend. This little 2Ltr grumps along quite nicely and we've a few go fast bits waiting to be put together after our first meet.

So in a nutshell I've lived with Fiats ALL my life, I'm addicted and I look forward to sharing the love.

Cheers.

Hi Spy,
your 131 looks amazing.., joy of mild winters I presume,

1978 Yellow 127 was our 1st FIAT, then converted to "sport" spec,
Our cinq sporting takes us right back to those days,

Thanks Charlie,
Goldilocks gets loaded onto the trailer tomorrow and it's off racing for the weekend . This is it's first hit out on a track so I'm not expecting big things right now, however I am expecting that it will put a big smile on my dial.

All going to plan I'll post up a couple pics next weeks.

Growing up I had a cousin who was a 127 and a 125 nut!! I'll never forget the way he use to throw that little 903 around, he had a big fettish for handbrake slides and to this day I still call him "King 180".
