1duck Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 the thing about italy is that they all think their old shite is worth something, that's before you even couple the extortionate transfer fees. They think their 25 year old punto is worth 5 grand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is 1 fine motor vehicle. Right on both counts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Chocolate Teapot Posted June 15, 2019 Author Share Posted June 15, 2019 Also last weekend found a car show, nothing shite here but I think worth showing. Hope you enjoy. 1954 fiat siata 1100. Never seen one, looks incredible looks fast but powered by fiat 1100cc. Stood alone looks normal, next to other cars you see how small it is, like 4/5 scale. Just look at those flush door handles. 1938 lancia aprilia Owner 90 years old and still rocking. Based on fiat 500. This is tiny, my bike for scale, based on fiat 500. Made by fiat siata. Could spend all day looking at this, note 3 rows of seats. Makes me wish I paid more attention at school woodwork classes. Burnside, Six-cylinder, Skizzer and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian_Fearn Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Sir Chocolate Teapot, what is life like in Italy these days? Politics, finance, housing, jobs etc? I’ve visited for the last 2 years, for the big Panda doo in Pandino near Milan. Personally, I loved it, the people, the food, the buzz. I spent a bit more time there earlier this year after the event heading east and over into Slovenia and passed through some stunning towns. The driving was FAST, I.e. I was the slowest thing on the road and definitely the slowest Panda in Italy ☺️ sdkrc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Chocolate Teapot Posted January 28, 2020 Author Share Posted January 28, 2020 Spotted by seaside in liguria, not far from genova. 1974 diesel, must have been some sort of endurance test to drive that this far. Brush painted green for bonus points. I like it. Ian_Fearn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macscrooge Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Nearly fell off my chair when that Renault 16 hove into view. Not sure I’ve ever seen one with non-frilly panels. Well not in the last 40 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Chocolate Teapot Posted April 23, 2020 Author Share Posted April 23, 2020 I bet this would start with a bit of tinkering. Shame as apart from front windscreen and surround it looks pretty sound. What a camper van that would make. busmansholiday 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Chocolate Teapot Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 In the right colour combo these punto mk1 look pretty classy. In pics does not show so well. Colour is very green green. Ian_Fearn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albeit, it's likely to be a heart attack inducing price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
