The Good Old Days EVW 15 T

[kes131]

Hi all

I am at the start of moving and came across all my history of EVW which I believe I put away back in 2003. I found a load of invoices back when Kev must have had done work to EVW when he owned it , it may bring back some memories back for kev when he done some restoration work on her. I believe some were faxes to quay garage Newton abbot , a windscreen? invoice another one from sidwell street motors and many more!! There is also a few back in 1992 -3 Mr Prince maybe this was the guy Kev brought EVW from many years ago. ?


Also found? 2 x? Twin Cam Fiat Register? window stickers when I was a member of the club around? 2000 ,? still stapled together ready to go in EVW !! And also was a member of the FIAT MOTOR CLUB in 2000 as well !!



And even found original? ?FIAT 131 RACING? ?PARTI? DI? RICMBIO? ?
One of them plastic things that we have all had a look at when we used to go into the parts department at FIAT and waited for them to search through more then a thousand parts !! This will come in handy when I start restoring EVW? ?I believe it lists every part of a 131 RACING !!



I can remember taking it with me when I was rebuilding my back axel !!

6 months road tax 31-3-93? ?60.50 bring it back.!!

I have got some negatives some where that came with EVW. I will have to find them and may bring back some good old memories for one of the previous owners. I will see if I can find them!! ?

I will have to add some photo?s maybe of some of my finds !

It brings those good old days back !!

Regards Mark

Hi Mark - Those invoices do bring back memories.

Sidwell Motors in Exeter were great for parts - Delivered next day to Cornwall for free and cheap prices too. I remember I had a brand new back panel and boot lid for ?30 each from them.

I had a relationship with Autoglass and they put in a new windscreen for something like ?50 I think.

Cant remember why I was dealing with Newton Abbot although I did work there for a year or so.

Nice to have a bit of history with the car.

Hi Mark,

Great articles, The 131 with it's little backup the Ritmo......back when they could afford to run two class programs at the same time 

Heres a couple of pics of one of those rare Ritmos, its tarmac spec and has been run at the Silver Flag Hillclimb in recent years.
