Title: OCV 578X - Where is it now...? Post by: kev131 on December 26, 2007, 02:42:15 PM I only knew this car for a brief period and it's owner for slightly longer.
I first spotted it in St Austell (Cornwall) around 1993/4 being driven by a young chap wearing a base ball cap accompanied by 3/4 other guys similarly attired. I wouldn't normally approach such a group but as they were driving a Supermirafiori, it was an opportunity not to be missed! Especially as it had just had some drastic surgery. The springs had been chopped (almost in half I think ..judging by the shakes demonstrated by the occupants!!), it was painted in a non standard red (originally brown) and had Lancia alloys fitted. The car later had it's windows blacked out...but I guessed that you could have predicted that!!? ;D Anyway from memory, I believe that the car was scrapped shortly afterwards (cant remember if it was a blown engine or a failed MOT ::)) and the owner bought a Croma Turbo - I've added pics of that car to show that the owner WAS actually a Fiat enthusiast and not just an opportunist shaking the last days out of a twin cam motor...and my old silver Sport is in the pics with the big Fiat. 8) (http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l250/kev131/img205.jpg) (http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l250/kev131/img204.jpg) (http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l250/kev131/img203.jpg) (http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l250/kev131/img202.jpg) (http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l250/kev131/img206.jpg) (http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l250/kev131/img208.jpg) (http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l250/kev131/img209.jpg) |
