Unfortunately the original wheels for this car were thrown in the scrap - by accident  Shocked Roll Eyes so I don't have them. The alloys shown are very slightly wider than the originals which probably means there is a bit more tyre in contact with the road, which, if this weekend spent with my orange Special is anything to go by, is a good thing!!  Shocked Grin

I'm sure a set of period wheels will pop up somewhere to buy Si.

What a fantastic find - You are a lucky boy!  Wink

Can you post more pics when you can please...interior, engine, etc.

I presume it has the 5 speed and rev counter fitted - I can see the headrests.

I can store it for you till you've extended the garage you know!!  Grin

A couple of pics of the inside. There are a couple of marks on the back seats but nothing too bad and the drivers seat is more worn than in my orange car, but it has done three times the miles! Wink

Does anyone have any sales (or manufacturing figures) figures for Mirafiori's between 76 to 84. It always appeared to me that the S1 was more popular in the UK, Ireland and Spain.
