General Sedicivalvole at the NEC

[tipomike]

In case anyone is interested and missed the "ps" to one of Dazzo's posts - my Sedicivalvole will be at the Classic Car Show/NEC this week.

It will be on the Fiat Motor Club stand all being well - so if any Tipo fans are going feel free to pop over and have a look. (and point out all the faults!!!)

HOW DID THE SHOW GO MIKE???

 

[tipomike]

It went really well thanks- I ws only there on the Sunday but there was quite a lot of interest all weekend - especially when the bonnet was left open. People kept giving it a second look - I don't think they could believe the engine!!(most people in the Uk expect to see lots of space and a 1.4/1.6)

I took a few pics but they are a bit dark - did anyone else go and photgraph my car? - If so I would love to see them.

If someone can explain how to load up photos to the forum I will post mine

Cheers MIKE

yeah i bet you got the old "didnt know they made 2.0's"....
Didnt manage to make it up there wish we could have gone but busy as usual, gonna make a point of going to some meets next year,

To up load you photos, there is a little paperclip type symbol next to the white smiley face when you reply to a thread! use this to upload your images, easy,

George didnt get the transplant, i retracted my bids on the turbo hf engine, way too much mods ive been told!!!
So got a uno mk1 momo steering wheel to go on instead, makes it look faster..was told these are arbarth ones but not too sure??

 

[tipomike]

Thanks for that.....If this works you should all see my car being cleaned and some rather dark pics of the show itself - sorry my cheap digital camera couldn't handle the lighting.

Dazzo - glad to hear you are leaving George as standard. As to the Momo wheel - I think there is any direct connection to Abarth other than the wheel is/was a poular fir to any performance Fiat.

Looking good! So Tipo Sedici oficially a classic then?

 

[dazzo666]

Hey you done it !!! Easy peasy told you so
some nice pics goin on Mike, the car looks so sweet,
Real nice to see a pristine example....
goin to pick up M***EWS tomoz 1.4ie, so that will be three, HOOKED!!!
Want another sedi...

 

[tipomike]

If I was as keen as you I think I would make a Sedici my next purchase while there are a few good ones still around. Keeping George as the daily driver and a Sedici as "something for the weekend" could be a good solution. I know I am an old git but my car is insured for 3000miles p/a including bus use with agreed value of £2000 for only £171 with adrian flux - it all makes sense then!!! Cheers MIKE

 

[dazzo666]

hi mike,
yes i am on the look for a sedi as my next purchase, but its gotta be a good one thats for sure, Is yours up for grabs, lol ...The actual insurance was not that bad for my last sedi at 300.00 a year and 1500.00 value,im 33yrs with 2yrs ncd, that was fully comp too,
Yes to keep George as a main driver makes sense really as he does an average of 120-130 mile on 10.00 worth of petrol so thats good, gotta service him soon,The one i got today is 1 owner on a M Plate,FFSH, burgundy,145k, off of Flea Bay for 65.00 with T&T, non runner though!!
will look and see whats wrong 2moz....

Mike.
See your Tipo is still lovely! Couldn't make it this year to show[was on another stand for 3 days last year].
Notice my old 124 Sport was on the stand Still looking gorgerous.

In reply to the last 2 posts.....Thanks for your kind coments Andy. Yes the 124 was superb and for sale - I was almost tempted! I guess by "other club" you mean Sporting Fiats - they had a really good stand last year.

Dazzo - glad to hear you are "going Sedici" next time. Funnily enough my car would be for sale for the right money. I don't want to sell it but Stephanie and I have been looking seriously at another vehicle purchase as with the kids grown up we are looking to travel. (Yes we are looking at a camper!!!) We will still have another 3 Fiats left!

Cheers MIKE

Mike.
The 124 had a lot of graft put into it and had been in a heated garage for 10 years. I was sad to see it go but i had no time to look after it anymore. Those cars need a fantastic amount of TLC to keep them in top shape.
Yeah. Sporting Fiats. I was knackered after 3 days on my legs at NEC. No stand this year as Martin had no time. I did suggest last year that this year we could do an Abarth stand and he agreed. Pity it never happened. Next year i will make an effort to sort a stand.

Andy.

Abarth stand mmmmmmmm sounds interesting - hope it comes off.
