General Wheels...

[Nuova500]

Fiat pitch is 4x98, have seen a Tipo with Golf wheels on, must have wobbly bolts. A closer match are Marina or Triumph Dolomite wheels (imperial), had some on a Tempra once. Mk1 Ibiza is basically a Fiat, cant be sure which one its based on... Strada?

Was an Uno wasn't it?

127...

The cheap ones used the 903cc

and all of them used the rear suspension (single transverse leaf ) of the 127

Thats it, Im sure one of them was Strada... what about the original Malaga? Maybe Im going senile! Nowt cheap about the 903 Jim!

Yup, your right, the Malaga was a rebodied Regata, which of course was the Strada with a boot and square headlamps....

I kind of loved weird 80's mish-match cars like that...

The Yugo Sana was another one, the Tipo done on the cheap!
(and I think they still make it too!)

Ah the Regata, had one it was brilliant! Dont think the Sana has been made since the war in the 90s, the factory was bombed and destroyed... almost overnight many Sana spares became impossible to get like panels and their values plummeted! The company that made them was Zastava who are going to make the old Punto now that Italy are doing the Grande. Not sure but I imagine the original SEATS must be really rare nowadays, outside of Spain at least. Remember those Ibizas with Porsche stickers in the windows?

And System Porsche on the engine cover on the SXI, loved blowing gaskets.

It's still about...

As is the 127 based 45

and the Punto is the Zastava 10

Love the grill...

[Steven]

Where are they being built Jim?

 

[Tony M]

Where are they being built Jim?

My guess is in some Baltic state where they can't afford better cars...

 

[JimMagill]

Where are they being built Jim?

It was on Italiaspeed that they where getting made in the Fiat factory in Italy till the Zastava one got set up.... Weird!

Jim

 

[Steven]

Very weird...

 

[Alan.D]

Love the grill...Jim

I know this is the wrong place but I don't understand that grille, it's just a plastic cover, let's no air through and the previous model looks far more stylish without it. The rad for those that don't understand my comments is under the bumper.

 

[Nuova500]

Guess it must be Croatia? It was so much easier when there was just Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia etc, all these new 'old' countries are confusing!

 

[JimMagill]

The Girl to the Left of the picture looks sooo happy about promoting Zastava as a company

Look Budislaska, the Bourgeoisie westerners are taking photos of you to laugh at on their decadent Car Forums. Look stern Budislaska, Look stern!

The Man tothe left of Budislaska is thinking

One day I dream of being in the panda section of the Fiat Forum

Well, Vladimir Zivota, I've made your dreams come true today....

The Two guys on the right looking at the 'Florida' rear end are thinking...

If my Girlfriends arse looked like that I'd do Sol Campbell....

Jim

 

[Tony M]

looks like someone left the front end of their Alfa75 in the fire a bit too long...

 

[Steven]

That is one ugly car! Love the commentary Jim, very funny.

 

[JimMagill]

I think you'd do Budislaska.... She's you type of woman.

Jim

 

[Steven]

That's relevant.

(I've been waiting for a chance to use the roll eyes smilie since you did it to me)

 

[JimMagill]

Well, you normally go for women that stand beside cars and look really bored......

Anyway, I think Stu made the Florida in Dollingstown!

Certainlly looks like his garage!
