500 (Classic) Newbie saying Hi!

[ianhunterv8]

Hi!

Just thought I would say hello as our Bambino has safely made it from Italy at last. Now need to get it throught the MoT, so a few minor jobs to do - bound to be asking for some tips!

Regards

Ian

Welcome, did you drive the 500 here (like they did on wheeler dealers) or ship it.

Photos please

Drove all the way! The journey actually started in August, but we had a few mechanical problems en route, so we had two goes at it! The joys of buying a car over the internet from 1,000 miles away!

Nevertheless, we are thrilled with the car and it so cute, so much fun and once we have a couple of minor jobs sorted, it will be perfect!

Regards

Ian

- Grazie!! We bought the car in Rezatto near Brescia, so we were fairly close to the French border for our run home. I will be asking lots of questions, I am sure! Arividerchi! Ian

I'm getting better at the taking apart bit if you need any advice - putting back together might be a bit more difficult!
