Happy days Bobby, thats my silver super at Bruntingthorpe I think ?
I keep forgetting how nice she looked then.

Ian

Hi Bobby - Thanks for taking the time to post these up - I love seeing these old pics - Keep them coming if you have any more... ;)

FNA 318Y makes another appearance. I'm sure this was the first super I bought from Wrexham back in the very late 90's. I can't seem to find any proof of this though as I don't think I took any photos of it.

Thanks for posting Bobby, great!
I don't think KCH776V is a survivor, even in the pictures it looked terminal
And B89NLA looks a bit like my Volumetrico ;D Is it a survivor?

Bobby, when You know more about the 132 Bellini and are not interested you can PM me ;)

I asked Bobby first Albert - You'll have to get in the queue!  ;)

B89 NLA is still around and on a sorn until 1st August 2010 according to DVLA

Hi Ian,

Your right that picture was taken at Bruntinghorpe Air field at a FMC event.

Kev- Cheers mate, will find some more and upload them.

Dave- that super was mint, it had only just been painted and was very fresh.

Hello Albert, kch 776v was owned by an Italian who emigrated and bought it with him to Derby (uk). It had some race/rally history and was running on twin 40idf carbs and a abarth exhaust. My dad put an engine and a back axle in it for him when they blew. It had a million miles on her and your right, the body was terminal.

The Racing looked an absolute mess and embarrasing in my view! I always wanted the wheels off it as they were the original magnesium 124 abarth ones. He scrapped the car for silly money with the wheels around the mid 90's. I was gutted!

B89 NLA is a Super series 3 bought brand new by my dad from First County Garages in Southall London. I passed my driving test in it in 1994 and it is still a survivor. Been in dry storage since 1995. Currently awaiting restoration.

I will let you guys now on the Bellini.

When I got it it still looked smart but was terminally rotten. I stripped it down and rolled it over. The floorpan was totally shot. It did come with a full set of Koni adjustables and sport springs though which found there way onto my silver super. As did the engine and box which then got removed and swapped for a 132 rolling shell. But that's another story!

Well done Bobby nice pics and memories of great cars 8) 8)

I like the Tipo in the background is she yours...

more....

The 131 in the works colours is over here in Ireland now and is in lovely condition now

That Tipo is long gone now. I like an idiot broke it! :(

Lppks well is it a 2litre or an 1800

bobby , can you have tooo many fiats ;)

Hey up Jason, your right one can have too many Fiats!

I find it difficult to part with them, but am going to have to reduce the fleet. One Sport and a Super may have to go first.

There are not enough hours in the day to do all the work needed ::) Also storage can become a real pain unless you have a lot of money or are really lucky. I sometimes think having just one is the way to go, but like you I don't like parting with old Fiats if I can help it ;D

That is a very smart interior. Thats not standard surely?

That coupe is stunning.
I'm jealous.

Thats one cool motor ive always liked them but they seem a bit thin on the ground in ireland 8)

Hellow Bobby can you give me info on DWR 160Y  TELL me whats the make up of the engine in it  ect ect thanks

Hi mate,

I first saw this car in 1995/96 in Birmingham at a Fiat show. It was owned by a chap called Mr T. I remember him saying it had a brand new engine fitted which he received on a pallet. Think it was new old stock.

I went to see this car about a year/18 months ago in Birmingham. It was for sale as a project plus another car with abarth bodykit on it. I remember the drivers side welded up and almost complete. For some reason i'm sure the engine is a 1600 and it was on twin carbs.

I know where the chap lives and might even have his number if of any interest to you. This is the bloke who owned it before it went to Leicester.

Cheers
Bob

Thanks Bob just trying to get a bit of info on the engine

Hi, I cannot remember too much about the engine, Im sure when I bought the car from birmingham, he told me it was 1760  or something like that. It was supposed to have been built from a crate engine, It had twin 45`s and full janspeed exhaust system. I bought both cars, but unfortunately had to sell them.  DWR went to Ireland, and the one with the abarth kit went to Andy on here if I remember correct.  I regret selling them but  circumstances dictated, and now they are harder to find. Hopefully one day I can find another. There was no way the 3 spokes would have survived though, lol  nor would it have stayed the metallic black, and no it would definately NOT have been orange haha.
   

Thanks Wayne the exhaust is still there and those beautyful  ;) three spoke alloys  :-[ :-[

What does an average RHD 20V coupe go for over there? A mate of mine in Switzerland has recently bought one and loves it. It'd be interesting to see how much it would cost and how difficult it would be to get one into OZ that I could put on the road.

keep your eye on yahoo auctions japan they come up cheap on there but you need to find someone over there to organize things, there are a few people/companies offering such services. dont know what aussie rules are like regarding imports though.

Hi Mick found one for sale here
http://www.niimc.net/classifieds.html

Always for sale in NZ. Look in trademe.co.nz

same kinda money Paul?

Prices vary nick but heres one thats been for sale for a long time. They are just not that popular here and expensive  for any work that needs to be done on them. I know a garage will charge a fortune to do a cam belt on them.

Wow over ?5 for a coupe lot of cash, 3 times more expensive  :o :o :o
