What about the blue X 1/9?Wow, another rhd Ritmo - I'm not alone! :D

I thought they were called Stradas here, throughout production. :? Is yours and that Abarth an import from a country that drives on the proper side where it was marketed as a Ritmo?
Sold as the Ritmo in Ireland (I think...) which is a RHD market (I know...) :wink:

The urban legend is that 'Ritmo' was the name of a brand of sanitary towel in the UK at the time, hence they used 'Strada'. Not sure how true that was... :lol:

I thought that was in the US, and be it that we always do what the Yanks do, they lumped us in with them? If not then why Strada also in America?

 

Speaking of which this is how to make the 'acquired taste for some people' MkI Strada into an 'acquired taste for everyone'......sell it to the yanks!

See that's the problem with looking up the regs online, if we hadn't got photographic proof otherwise, you'd fear the worst from reading the above!
