General Time to wake up the Teapot

[tipomike]

Spring is nearly here - so I will be waking up the Sedici this week if all goes well. First on the agenda is a good check over , then a clean and polish. PLan is to be back on the road for a Fiat Motor Club run early next month, then a trip to The Malvern Show which is a nice 200mile round trip.........then we shall see.

On her 21st before Christmas I promised my 21year old daughter "yes of course she can have a drive in Dad's fast Fiat" - oh how those words have come back to haunt me!!

I will also be at Brooklands - Any other Sedicivalvoles likely to be going? The cars seem to have all gone "underground" just lately with nothing on E/bay etc.

Hi Rich,

Yes I was - but in the end I just couldn't. Its been part of the family for 9 years, Its the first one I bought and the one I kept and daughter will disown me if it goes.
CHEERS MIKE

just woke mine up other day, charged battery up for a couple of hours stuck it back on and boom it fired up first turn and was purring lovely, no smoke no knocks or rattles. idle valve was sticking a little at first but after 10 minutes of running settled down. got her insured but put start date for the 31st of this month then ill tax her on the 1st of next month. was over the moon with insurance quote i got so took it straight away, £174 fully comp, got it on classic car insurance
i've really missed driving her, my vw bora is nice to drive but my tipo is so much more fun to drive

Nice word Rich - Thank you.

Jonboy - thats a good insurance quote. I got mine for £127 with £1500 agreed value but then again - I am really old!!
