hi all. new here.

i have recently acquired a large amount of photographs, and photographic slides / negs etc from a retiring journolist / motoring photographer, with all the full copyrights etc (hence why only a small sample photo).

and as part of this lot, where files on FIAT, mainly of the coupe but with some rally fiats too. on the coupe there are also ones where the fiat is shot next to the alfa romeo, in what looks like a piece for use in road test etc.

there are shots of a coupe 20v turbo in dark red, with the reg of P657 FRX, does anyone know if this is still around? maybe the owner is on here? this car is covered in detail with 50+ shots and every conceivable angle covered, as obvoiusly was for press / reporting use.

i have been posting on a few forums for info on some of the models / cars i have within the huge collection i've now got (some 25000+ photo slides / negatives etc), and to see if these cars are still around or have any sort of story behind them or are known, or perhaps if they have appeared in any magazines etc.

my intention for the lot is to make them available for use by book / magazine publishers, to use in print or whatever, and some owners or enthusiasts or owners clubs have even been interested in acquiring them outright etc.
once all digitised and scanned in, which is a HUGE undertaking!!

Good luck with the pet project

thanks for that, good to know its still alive!

now to see if i can find it in any magazines etc, to go with the history of the photos etc, although it may not have been actually used in print, I.e, i've got some items that have never been seen in the media (factory build pics of some of the cars in the collection etc), they were taken but not used, hence me working with publishers etc.

i must say, after not being that bothered about the fiat models, once i have looked through them and done bits of research the coupe seems to be a great car!

Now you can just begin to understand the cult following these cars have
