Title: Re: Another Racing pops up for sale... Post by: Thotos on November 08, 2009, 08:07:48 PM absolutely bog standard.... The mirrors are not and the material of the (retrimmed?) seats is not and the wooden (?) handbrake handle is not and the rear number plate mount is missing so not very 'bog standard' me thinks ;D ;D But it does look good :D Title: Re: Another Racing pops up for sale...

Post by: Thotos on November 08, 2009, 09:07:09 PM Theo,those are very small things to be put right ::).Eugene I wouldn't change it as it looks very nice but if you wanted to get the interior back to standard it won't be easy. Plus I wasn't saying it's difficult work; I simply said it wasn't "bog standard". The mirrors are mismatched by the way with the driver's side mirror being from a 'normal' mirafiori while the passenger side mirror is off an Alfa. Things like that plus the faded Fiat badge on the grille and the peeling headlamp reflectors make me think the car was unloved. Title: Re: Another Racing pops up for sale...

Post by: sid131 on November 09, 2009, 08:50:41 AM Theo it would be very difficult or near impossible to get the seats retrimmed in the proper velour, i have been searching a long time now & nothing, so i got my seats tidied up, so has anyone any clues as to where the correct pippin red or black fabric can be bought?
