Missy Charm Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 12 hours ago, Datsuncog said: Indeed it is still alive - I snapped a few pics of it yesterday on the outskirts of Belfast: Looks very much cared for - and I hope to see more of it, if it's local! Out of interest, where did you find your pic of CBE? Online search result, or is it a 'known car' in shiter circles? I queried the registration plate with the term 'and Fiesta' on a search engine and found an image. I've certainly never heard of it before. Lovely looking car, though.

It took about 20 minutes to do. I found the picture on here. It was posted in the Ebay Tat thread I think. I shortened the front doors, added about 2" to the wheelbase, and then just stitched it together. If you look closely at the picture yu can probably see the joins and copy and paste bits. The most difficult part was trying to get the shut line around the arch to look OK. AnnoyingPentium and HillmanImp 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Longbridge Posted March 22, 2023 Author Share Posted March 22, 2023 ALFA ROMEO ITALDESIGN CAPSULA "The real peculiarity of the #ItaldesignCapsula consists in the interchangeable base, made up of the transmission, the steering wheel, the tank, the spare wheel, the boot, the heating, the lights and the engine, which was the 1.5-litre 4-cylinder boxer (104 HP ) of #AlfaRomeo Alfasud. The bodywork could be easily removed and replaced with others of various types, intended for the transport of passengers, goods or even cars: among the suggested applications there was also that of a tow truck. The car body of the minivan was made up of five parts: the side ones, the front and rear ones (which fitted into the base) and a roof spar, designed to keep them all together."

Can’t remember if they were developed at the same time or C2 short was a subsequent development. Canned when PSA bought Chrysler Europe and in 1981 the 3-door 104 was lengthened a touch and rebadged with the T in a circle we all know and love* Dick Longbridge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
