General New addition to the fiat family.

[christopher watson]

I am not going to tell you what it is (might be a panda, might not), but i am looking at a fiat tonight . Its L reg, white, its done 115000 miles, and has mot and tax, all for £150

 

[sammiboo]

if you have posted in the classic panda section i would assume its a panda otherwise it will be the wrong section

 

[Steven]

I'm guessing it's a Tipo.

I would have guessed the "NE" part was

Why would it be a Tipo?

 

[Sprox]

I would have guessed the "NE" part was

NE - NORTH EAST

 

[Steven]

Why would it be a Tipo?

Why wouldn't it? Let's face it, they're only going for around 150 quid even for a good one.

 

[christopher watson]

Ok, its the wrong section but i have bought a white Fiat Fiorino 1.7D van . Its a 1993 L reg, its a bit rough around the edges but has good mechanics, it needs an indicator lense, and a bolt for the bonnet hinge, but the worst thing is that the radio doesnt work

Nice buy Chris. Photos?

I will be putting photos up tomorrow, as i havent picked it up yet. It looks a little worn, but its had a new clutch, glow plugs, and the guy has just serviced it, oh and its £140

edit - I have just looked at the amount of previous owners and it looks like i am number 16

Good luck with it Chris and all those boot sales.

Good luck with it Chris and all those boot sales.

Thanks Alan

 

[Hellcat]

Not a tipo then

If its a runner then that will be a good buy. Don't worry about the number of owners - plenty of cars have lots of owners.

 

[christopher watson]

Its a very good runner, and all i can see that it will need for its next mot is a back box (time to call magnex ).

 

[Steven]

The diesels go for ever as well. Impossible to kill!

 

[Alan.D]

Just keep an eye on the fuel pump timing belt

 

[christopher watson]

Thanks Alan for the advice, i think i will be changing the timing belt now

The engine goes on forever but things break around them, my black tipo got scrapped when its oil cooler sprung a leek. My green one had a cylinder/water jacket failure on its head gasket.
