stanski Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 Found this little gem recently and would love to buy it but ..... too many old bangers already! Anyway look at the picture of the engine bay? Surprised why more of these did'nt spontanously combust! Notice the petrol pump is right next to the exhaust manifold!! Heat and petrol next to each other!! The petrol pipe resting against the body edge over wiring. Then the radiator is imediately below the electrics /coil/relays etc! How the hell these got past any safety tests and into production!!

Iwantone Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 Now that's what I call a car engine! You can fix everything on it and no laptop needed. Things to dream about, dynamos, ignition coils, points, carburettors, etc. Quote
stanski Posted November 29, 2011 Author Posted November 29, 2011 yes no need for a 16 year old kid at the stealers learning on your pride and joy. its all there simple as pie! Fiat 600 overlooked by its smaller 500 bro! I prefer this one! Quote
bronzee Posted December 1, 2011 Posted December 1, 2011 These were the antithesis of bubble car in the day. Not too much to ride in though, bit like being in a tin can. Quote
Stew Posted December 1, 2011 Posted December 1, 2011 I have been thinking about this one siince you showed me it Stan. If I wasn't paying for a wedding I think I'd be going to Poland to piuck it up. Lovely little car! Or getting a scabby one and putting a bike engine in it! Quote
