Nope. Just don't like Fiats! haha. I like lots of other cars.

Its a fiat 124bc.

and...here is my 124bc.

immaculate.






very nice car.

our family loves Fiats. I don't know why people dont like them. They were pretty expensive when they were new. and remember, this car had twin webers in 1971!!

a car to keep for the rest of my life!!!

I have a diesel Punto, and almost bought a 124CC for my 2nd car, but bought an E28 528i instead.

[16v_kid]

Yeah its a Fiat.

My dad had a 125s & 131 wagon before I was born! He loved the 125s too! Said it went pretty bloody nicely for there day

The old saying for Fiat is

Fix
It
Again

I've got a soft spot for the 131 Arbaths. No SFA about them, except they were pretty good rally cars & can also remember playing around with one of dads model cars which looked identical to this

yeah, the 125 was a great car. Sort of like a limo back then. Very nice car.

The 131 abarth is a very special car! worth heaaps of money these days. To give you a idea how much the engine costs, for 2 cam boxs (bare) without head, $15,000.

great cars, i love them.

Gordon do everyone a favour sell your mk1 and then go join the fiat forums!

Whacko. Webers in 71! hahaha

Remember Ferrari had been using webers in the early 50's! 6 of them on a V12!

My favorite. 250GTO. One had recently been sold for a alleged 28.5Mil!




How about direct injection in 1952 & a top speed of 260km/h!!!

Jeez! $15K for a fiat engine. Don't doubt it, but christ! You really have to love Fiats to spend that on a 16V 4cyl to make a standard 140hp!

I already know what engine I'd build for $15K & it would have more power than any VW ever built on pump fuel too! (maybe not the veyron though! haha) That would have to run on alcohol! Nothing wrong with that!


Just for you though Gordon, cause I don't mind them either!

I'm a big fan of noise.










Yep, that's me in the car..
