I'm one of the idiots who bought one of those, I did wait until they had been discontinued and bought an unregistered one for half price. Nice for doing wheelies, but not a good commuter bike for me. I sold it (on ebay) to a Belgian architect, back when ebay still worked

There's a green one near me. Must get the camera on it some time soon if they're close to banger money.

It only went and drove past me today!! Unfortunately Mr Fat Fingers here went and mashed the wrong button on the screen so this is the best you're gonna get for now

If you could give them a note saying, if you ever sell call xxxxxxxxxx. It’d be appreciated.

I’ve just found this pic of somebody else’s. Fiat used amazing paint/lacquer.. I've enquired if it's my car. But I assume they're all gammy.

 

...

 

 

I also found a Japanese maniac.

I was going to give him your number to begin with.

Breaking on Facebook!

 

I have messaged about wheel trims and bootlid but no response as yet.

 

Has the wee man! (and a green interior which I may just nab for myself).

[Parky]

Wheelarch trims must be worth nabbing too unless the yard is aware how much they cost

Road trip!!!! I need one little fella. (To knock more up)

 

 

I need rear arch. Might take all the plastic outside trim?

 

... And the center console cd thing, just because.

[somewhatfoolish]

Disappointed to find it wasn’t made in homage to the popular American pop duo The Alessi Brothers though

Equally disappointed that it's not a tribute to everyone's favourite* Alain Prost tribute act.

This is such a cool little thing, I love it! 110% WANT.

Little update, the wheeltrims are gone.

They will sell me the arches, the door exterior trim and the roof bars.

 

I think I’d like the exterior trim, but without the wheeltrims I don’t know if I can be bothered to drive all that way.

Forgive me if I've missed it, but where is the car?

The breaker car is in Stalybridge, my car is stored beautifully in Halifax and I live in Hull.

If you ever see a 100hp breaking please post the link on here, I normally check ebay and I've seen one breaking in the last two months!

[mrbenn]

Would the breaker remove the bits you need? Is courier then an option? That'd be easiest.

 

Another possible option: I'm about 25 miles from Stalybridge. I also go to Leeds fairly regularly. Could potentially collect bits (is weekend collection available?), deposit in Halifax on way to Leeds.

 

Caveats:

 

1) I'm not keen to remove the bits myself given they're basically made from unobtanium, I'd feel awful if I damaged something.

 

2) you'd have to pay the breaker direct or pay me first, I'm absolutely on my arse money wise at the minute and don't envisage this changing in the short term.

[Aston Martin]

Little update, V5 arrived. 4 previous owners.

 

I’m off to Stalybridge on Saturday to collect the cladding and maybe the interior for For Fiats Sake if it’s in an acceptable state. They’ve said they won’t let any parts go.

 

Whether they do I dunno.

What parts are you after?

Cash only, deposit for removal. But, it’s now sorted. Thank you for the offer though.

One guy got the wheeltrims and the aerial.

[Parky]

Anything else Alessi specific worth nabbing? Are parcel shelves rare or does the Alessi have special door cards or anything like that? Unique stereo or steering wheel? Special gearknob?

 

Mechanically I would think it’s all standard stuff but anything Alessi specific should be nabbed. In a few years time any spares you have will be super unobtanium.

*I realise they're spelt differently.

If the cars are supremely quick, beat everyone off the lights but break down two corners later, then yes, perhaps Fiat Panda Alessi’s were influenced by Jean Alesi. Possibly the unluckiest driver in F1 since Chris Amon (although at least Alesi got one win)

[Kringle]

Here is an idea. Can we get hold of one Alessi man, scan/ draw and 3D print it?

Wasnt there somebody dabbling in that sort of thing?

[somewhatfoolish]

I think that's the OP's plan.

Cheers for that mate. I was after a piece of bumper trim, precisely where that car has been smashed to f*ck LOL, every one I've seen it's been in a front end smash

Here's what happened to mine, 5 weeks after I sold it.

 

It was no longer my car, but I'm still pissed about it.

[Aston Martin]

I'll have a small update on Pandarin tomorrow, nothing exciting.

Although it'll be the first time I properly get to see it.

 

 

P.s. Pandarin is the greatest thing I've ever thought of.
