General New Alessi owner!💚

[TaglienteAlessi]

Hi all.. Just joined as always had Fiat's over the years, still got a nice Ulysse but have now finally got a green Alessi after a good few years of looking. Just want to be in touch with other Alessi owners and annoyingly need hub caps(gutted) am looking to create/fit some custom trims for now that suit while I continue to search the world for some for evermore! (anybody know of any for sale or gathering dust?)
I tried joining the Alessi FB group page a year or so ago and again recently but never had a reply back, is it still running? I might start another one if not.
Does anyone know how many 'green' are in the UK? I read it was a rare colour but I've never seen any of the 3 colours on the road!
I'll add further pics when I finally get the car home properly as just waiting to organise storage.
Thanks in advance

Hi & welcome to the forum, I too have always had Fiat's with the exception of a couple of classic minis, I never even knew there were any green Alessi's, I thought they were all orange, we learn something new everyday , we're all a pretty friendly bunch on here

You're probably wondering how I got into this mess? Well, it's... In the Tangerine Dream thread, @mk2_craig said "there's a green one here in Jersey" I asked him to lob a note on the car with "contact me." Craig did one better. "Heres the guys address." ?

This is my daily cruiser a 2018 319 Panda 1.2 Pop which I've owned since buying it pre registered with delivery miles in June 2018 for £7,995, it had nothing on it when I bought it as it is the base model, if you click my username & click on vehicles & go to modifications it'll tell you what I've done to it since owning it, it's way too much to list here

Aye, I've enjoyed his posts about his various Pandas - especially his determination to assemble the perfect 'Tic-Tac' Panda collection

@TaglienteAlessi Not sure @Aston Martin is on here any more, but is active on Autosh*te.

@ALESSI P was busy making a few missing trim pieces for his, but again hasn't been active here for a while: https://www.fiatforum.com/garage/fiat-panda-alessi.17/

Ah, nice one, thanks, I'll certainly begin stalking him with more determination myself where have all these Alessi peeps gone?!

I think I have an original brochure hiding somewhere, but yes, they were three colours, orange, green and black. The orange ones were the most prevalent, with only a few green and black ones. Less than 100 total in the UK when new in 2006, so a diminshing pool to choose from. The orange ones have an orange interior, but both green and black had green interiors.

Ooh! A green one, very rare, as are the black ones. I love my orange one, but would have loved a green one. When I got mine, I didn't even know the Alessi existed, just went looking for a Panda, needed aircon and rear headrests, so an Eleganza really, and found mine. Viewed on a website, I think I'd bought it before I went to look. Silly now running three cars, but can't dispose of the other two, as they have purpose, but can't bear to part with the Panda, and still use it more than the other two together. We've been together 14 years now.

where have all these Alessi peeps gone?!

We've found them!
Alessis always get a lot of positive attention when they pop up on here. I was thinking maybe the Alessi types are a bit shy...
Now, where's @panda panda?

I still have all my wheeltrims.
I was asked some time ago if I would lend one for scanning, for 3D printing. I still wonder about that, every time I remove a wheel, but am frightened to lose sight of it.
Perhaps if someone can scan it, or knows how/where to get this done, if it can be done by appointment, while you wait, I could take a trip and get it sorted.
Do need to be able to travel there and back in a day, from South Oxfordshire, as need to be here overnight.

Thanks Rmjbn1! It's nearly an exclusive alessi car club of it's own now you're definitely not the shy sort if you own an Alessi

Hi there! Have certainly enjoyed reading your story on your car before? I'm guessing your mileage is still superbly low?! Do you use her as a summer only car? I've got a few bits to sort on mine and thankfully have arranged an extension to my picking her up to sort my garage space and weather is rubbish and want Feb out the way! So will be lurking for a while before full reveal

Hi Bill, thanks for your reply..yes it's frustrating to need to find wheel trims..I'm going to replicate my own trims for now and have found only last night an nos set of fiat trims I'll paint white and try and stencil our little man on as Mr P mentioned in a post of his! Not many people will know I'm guessing but the not having the originals is a killer! I did contact a classic car 3d business but he said he couldn't do it. Appreciate your offer in helping,thankyou so will see how it goes. They are so unique.
I would love to get hold of a brochure too and have only seen a Japanese one and I think German text on another.
Glad you've had your car a long time, I hope to also!

 

[TaglienteAlessi]

Do any of you Alessi guys know the colour code for the white on our cars please? Double checking in case it's different to 'normal' white cars..Thanks..
