Hi folks;
Just back from my holiday in America (to celebrate 40 years of marital bliss!?) and due to my interest in Fiat 500/Abarth 595--695s, kept my eyes open as I seem to remember somebody in America was looking for a 500 to restore. Imagine my surprise when my host told me that he had passed one on the way home from work being used as an 'advertising hoarding'. The car is a 500L, is situated just outside Detroit, needs a new sun-roof (and possibly door glasses) but has alloys on '126' hubs--it also needs a fair bit of TLC. If the '500 seeker' would like to contact me I will pass on all the location details and some more details of the car, as well as a couple of photos. This could be a good project----look forward to hearing from the 'seeker'
