Title: Re: Just one word...! Wow Post by: kev131 on January 25, 2011, 05:32:10 PM Wow Kevin, what a find!-go for it...... :o or is it already yours? ;) Well I'm really tempted but it's not the model I'm after unfortunately... Like Simon says - I'd be nervous driving it but a sure fire show winner in that condition. Beeeeautifullll. :) Title: Re: Just one word...! Wow Post by: 106usj on January 25, 2011, 06:12:27 PM Is it a restoration or has it been in a cocoon all its days ?
Title: Re: Just one word...! Wow Post by: kev131 on January 25, 2011, 07:33:26 PM Is it a restoration or has it been in a cocoon all its days ? Gee - The latter is my bet. I dont think it's reasonably possible to restore a car to this standard....I can't see the necessary cost being spent on what is generally an unloved car. Imagine, this car is just 3 years short of 40....! :o Title: Re: Just one word...! Wow Post by: bellamacchina on January 25, 2011, 07:56:07 PM She's wonderful. I could go for her :D

Wow Post by: mirafiori76 on January 25, 2011, 09:20:50 PM Lovely car, a shame the steering wheel is on the wrong side ::) No, it's on the right side. Or should i say the right left side ;DTitle: Re: Just one word...! Wow Post by: djape1977 on January 25, 2011, 11:41:02 PM it's on a proper side alright.
when you english people gonna start driving on the right side of the road??? there's EU proposal under preparation sugesting that for first year only lorries should start driving on the right side... Title: Re: Just one word...! Wow Post by: mirafioriman on January 26, 2011, 07:40:48 AM Everybody else drives on the 'wrong' side, look at the first cars.
Title: Re: Just one word...! Wow Post by: kev131 on January 26, 2011, 08:28:31 AM "Driving" your horse on the left was the early custom which meant your right hand (sword hand) was suited for defense in the event of attack from oncoming "traffic".
Not sure what left-handed swordsmen were supposed to do...! :) Title: Re: Just one word...! Wow Post by: mirafiori76 on January 26, 2011, 09:04:53 AM Highway men new that and that's why they always ambushed from the left side :D :D :D :D Too bad if the victim was left handed :D ;)
Title: Re: Just one word...! Wow Post by: bellamacchina on January 26, 2011, 10:45:00 AM LHD or RHD is completely not interesting for me with a car in this condition. The steeringwheel on the other side as you get used to gives an extra special feeling when you drive ;D
Dave, do you have difficulties with "right or wrong" as you sell all your "right cars" ;) ;) Title: Re: Just one word...! Wow Post by: kev131 on January 28, 2011, 09:39:29 AM This is without doubt the cleanest classic Fiat that I have EVER seen. It's 1974 and has done 12,000kms. It was bought new by a guy who was born in 1918 and sold to an enthusiast in 2001. While in the hands of the first owner who actualy lived in Venezuela but kept the car in Italy, it did 11000kms in the first 27 years of ownership. Apparently it never saw rain and always was kept in a garage (so no light damage). The second owner maintained this discipline.
In the last few years it has had every consumable replaced including water pump, fuel pump, carb, cambelt, battery, tyres, brake discs, master cylinder, clutch, etc etc. All using genuine Fiat parts sourced over time in Italy. Apparently there is not even a screw that is not original and the owner has resisted fitting a radio to preserve the originality. If ever there was an old classic car that deserved the description of "immaculate" and "showroom condition", this is it. I'm still disbelieving that such an unloved car as the Fiat 132 could have been cherished so much and if I owned the car, I'd be afraid to use...I think! If I was the marketing Director for Fiat Ireland I'd be buying it for the reception area in headquarters. :) (http://i766.photobucket.com/albums/xx305/kev132/Immagine187.jpg) (http://i766.photobucket.com/albums/xx305/kev132/Immagine022.jpg) (http://i766.photobucket.com/albums/xx305/kev132/Immagine040.jpg) (http://i766.photobucket.com/albums/xx305/kev132/Immagine074.jpg) (http://i766.photobucket.com/albums/xx305/kev132/Immagine176.jpg) Title: Re: Just one word...! Wow Post by: djape1977 on January 28, 2011, 10:05:51 AM so what's stopping you from buying this one?
Title: Re: Just one word...! Wow Post by: kev131 on January 28, 2011, 10:09:47 AM so what's stopping you from buying this one? Oh Pedja - I am thinking about it. It's just that I really want a Series 3 2000. :( Title: Re: Just one word...! Wow Post by: mirafiori76 on January 28, 2011, 10:12:52 AM Kev,
Get over it! ;) :D Buy it, BUY IT!!! :D :D :D Title: Re: Just one word...! Wow Post by: Thotos on January 28, 2011, 10:31:25 AM I really want a Series 3 2000. :( So buy this one now and when (if ???) you find the Series 3 2000 buy that one as well :D ;D Title: Re: Just one word...! Wow Post by: djape1977 on January 28, 2011, 11:04:43 AM frankly, in 16 years of having , driving and being on a lookout for 132s, i haven't seen any in such good condition. one this good won't come up for sale again anytime soon
Title: Re: Just one word...!

This one actually belongs in a museum or private collection.

Wow Post by: Thotos on January 28, 2011, 01:53:29 PM I cant justify 2 132s! But you already have 2 131s so the principle of single model multi ownership has been established ;D ;D Title: Re: Just one word...!

But you already have 2 131s so the principle of single model multi ownership has been established ;D ;D Ya but one is a keeper and the other is my utilitarian 3MA car. :) When someone sets up the equivalent of 3MAs for 132s, then maybe I may need two 132s. :) Title: Re: Just one word...! Wow Post by: Thotos on January 28, 2011, 02:51:01 PM When someone sets up the equivalent of 3MAs for 132s, then maybe I may need two 132s. :) That would be you once you have two 132s. You already found the keeper, just find a utilitarian 132 ;D ;D Title: Re: Just one word...! Wow Post by: stathe174 on January 28, 2011, 03:57:34 PM Maybe its time for a sister site "Maximum 132 Mobilization" :D :D :D
Title: Re: Just one word...! Wow Post by: miro-1980 on January 28, 2011, 04:58:31 PM UNBELIEVABLE !
Guys - run and buy this will not happen again! Title: Re: Just one word...! Wow Post by: mirafiori76 on January 28, 2011, 10:46:10 PM I had a similar one from 1978, also in grey. Had 1 little damage at the left rear side. Had to sell it in the end. What a wonderful ride.
Anybody please save this one!! |
