Title: More Italian finds Part 2 Post by: grahamS53 on March 28, 2013, 06:47:05 PM Pics of again a one owner car from new with 32K on the clock, again never welded or painted (this is how we found it, not even been wiped down!). Stood in a collection of cars that were all originally part ex's at a main dealers, all of which were never sold on. We will be going back there again soon ;D

Title: Re: More Italian finds Part 2 Post by: grahamS53 on March 29, 2013, 09:28:44 PM Well thanks for all the positive comments folks ;D This one has just been bought by us out there where the sun shines. Has been fully restored by a coachbuilder who has now retired with it still only 99% finished ::) stupid things like brake pipes not fitted and the wiper motor, but can you spot what makes it so rare for an Italian Fiat 500? ;)

Title: Re: More Italian finds Part 2 Post by: Sev131 on March 29, 2013, 09:33:26 PM Wow, How do you find them?
Title: Re: More Italian finds Part 2 Post by: grahamS53 on March 29, 2013, 09:49:22 PM Well spoted Heini, give yourself a pat on the back ;D We had a RHD one just after christmas and never thought we would find another, but like busses , you wait for ages then two come along!!
Sev. Paul who does all the trips out there has been doing it for a very long time and has the contacts built up over years, but still he has been there for over a week now, looked at probably 40 odd cars and so far bought 4! Unfortunately as with everywhere, Italy has its fair share of badly described cars, so thousands of KMs are spent on wasted journeys ::) G Title: Re: More Italian finds Part 2 Post by: kev131 on March 30, 2013, 07:06:50 PM When I retire this is what I'd love to do..... :)
Great postings - Thanks Graham. Title: Re: More Italian finds Part 2 Post by: Sev131 on March 30, 2013, 10:32:01 PM Remember my dad Mot..ing a few 500's a few years ago. One italian trader use to get his mate to load them into his artic and bring them back, tidy them up to mot standard and flog um on.They were fun trying to drive them on modern 4 post ramps!
