Death Row pics - Fiat Coupe !! (J.C. not guilty)

[mr-reno-139]

thanks for all the replies about Fiat ,

just always seems awaste to see a complete (rare) car fed straight in the shredder as somebody is probably looking for parts if nothing else

 

Why was the R11 raced, it looks like it was okay?

Exactly!! Why would you do that?

in my defence on letting my son race the R11 ,twice recently 11s have been mentioned on here and i offerd the (then taxed and motd ) silver 11 for sale at £125 with no takers

apart from os dshaft noise it was all ok but with 120,000 miles hardly desirable or unique ?

 

recent experience of Ebay put me off trying to sell it so kept mirrors for Ratdat ( plus some other spares )

 

ultimately it all comes down to the fact that there are more borderline cars out there than people with the time and ability to rescue them all

 

would you rather i had kept R11 and scrapped the R25 V6 Limo ?

[Torsten2001]

I am very sad that I missed that, I would have had it

[Cavcraft]

I know where you're coming from Mr-Reno. I've offer almost everything I get before it's get crushed. Some you win, some you lose and at least you had the decency to offer it up first.

I'm surprised someone binned the blue Pug 205 in the first pic with that BIG BOY numberplate what year was it? I imagine A 819 BOY or B 819 BOY would be worth a few quid more than the weigh in value of the motorLooks like the Fiat suffered a catastrophic failure, as its still taxed till october, suggesting the owner planned it to be on the road for a while yet.The enquiry is complete The vehicle details for P775 RGT are: Date of Liability 01 10 2008 Date of First Registration 30 09 1996 Year of Manufacture 1996 Cylinder Capacity (cc) 1995CC CO2 Emissions Not Available Fuel Type Petrol Export Marker Not Applicable Vehicle Status Licence Not Due Vehicle Colour RED Vehicle Type Approval null The information contained on this page is correct at the time of enquiry.

cheers iainl,i have worked there,as its my mates garage,mel the mechanic is a good mate aswell,best mechanic i ever met.

[Pete-M]

I don't think so - this was Essex. These beast were there too (along with an un-snapped XR4i shell - big dog.)

 

 

Arrgh! Scrapping an E3. That's just wrong.

 

(Although they do rot like fuck, and cost too much to restore..)

Arrgh! Scrapping an E3. That's just wrong.

I thought that was a sad sight too. Not many left on the road now - when did you last see one in use? I'm expecting my E23 to develop similar rarity the way fuel prices are going. Not rarity value, though. Must get round to fixing it!Oh, and Regie - lift a corner of your 146, and guess what you'll find? (Hint: I was recently amused to find 'Fiat' stamped into my 156's upper wishbones)

Lol its a small world - you might have even worked on one of my cars in the past!Is it Ian McWatt thats your mate? His Corsa sleeper is ace

Much easier than that, the VIN plate under the bonnet says Fiat Auto or something on it!

[fiatdaft]

yer 146 is also based on the good old tipo btw !

[AnthonyG]

How do you know the Fiat Coupe was not in an accident? - looks pretty smashed up to me! P.S. Nice to see some of those pikey spec import Pajeros starting to bite the dust - do yo' like dags??

My garage owning mate got given a Volvo 265 estate with A123 PUG on it two or three years ago, it might even had had a MOT - mind you, the car is not exactly road legal anymore .
