NO WAY...... yes it certainly is the very same one....

Oh my god i take my hat off to you cos you must have looked after it to be in the condition it is today,, i had to spend 3 hours cutting and polishing her to get a shine back, and by crikey does she gleam,
How long did you own RLA for???
 
1.4 carbs are the best by far *cough apart from sedis etc* :p nice colour though!! i've seen some pretty nasty coloured tipos! when i first got mine i thought it was a rare car too lol. i've seen a dull blue and also a dull orange tipo by dull i mean like a matt sort of paint.
 
Yep - that's amazing that my old car is still around!! I bought it as - I think - the second owner in June/July 1992. I was in my early thirties then and with 2 small children it was the ideal car - fun to drive and like the tardis inside.

I was given a company car in january 1996 - at which point my wife took over RLA, but we sold it in October of that year when she bought a Cinq Sporting - this time with black windows, lowered suspension, strut brace, uprated shocks, K&N conversion - a real go-cart!!

RLA was bought from a garage in Amersham and was traded into Carchoice in Bourne End, Bucks. I used to see it frequently and had wondered where it had gone.

It was during the ownership of this car that I discovered the Sedicivalvole - but had to wait a few years before I could afford one. In fact I have had 3 and still own the first one a black J plate (see gallery) - now in our mid 40,s does that make my wife and I the oldest Sedici drivers?!!

We also run a Punto Mk2 sporting and a Seicento Sporting and my son runs a Mk1 punto Sporting - how sad is that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Hi mike.
Nice to see your old car once again in good hands. And no *cough* you are not alone in being oldest sedici owner! :)

To do a 4x4 Tipo, you need the Dedra 4X4 rear axle. Fits straight on a Tipo as they are basically the same floor pan.
