Anyone on here?

Despite the rather 'individual' body adornments, I have to say that other than a few dead leaves on the rocker cover, the engine bay is very clean - the slam panel is one of the best I've seen for a long time

That was for sale a while back. I'm sure it was pointed out on here but I may be mistaken. Seems local to me but I've never seen it driving around.

Yes, it has had ebay links to it on here. Perhaps 6 months back?


16VT and X1/9 1500 + e208 Peugeot

We must all do our part for the planet.
I unplugged a row of electric cars that nobody was using.
I even unplugged my own.

Is it just me or does anyone else find a Fiat with Ferrari stickers and badges completely stupid?

Who are they trying to kid?

Maybe some girl with a white handbag and matching mini-skirt and high heels with a sequined top in a pub in Essex might be impressed after a few pints, but sheesh smile

Someone save it and put it back to its former glory!

Does look well looked after though.

It looks tidy, and dare I say it. I don't find the stripes too offensive. The none Fiat badges however...

I will admit to not finding the over roof stripes too offensive either, but the side ones with the cutouts for the pinninfarina badges and ferrari badges with the 20V Turbo text have to go smile

All it is missing is a pair of matching fluffy dice, the shag carpet on the headliner, the hanging bobbles from the door cavities and perhaps a dog with a bobbing head in the back to really finish it off.

Shell suit open to the navel and a bunch of fake gold chains and rings are not optional smile

Never understood the need to badge cars as something they are not.
Although 2 lads walking past mine at the traffic lights were arguing what my coupe was, as its de-badged at the back.
One of them suggested it was a ferrari as it had the same lights.
Then when they got to the front the other one groaned and said "nah its a bloody Fiat!" rofl

Nah - that would be wrong as well - Enzo specifically badged the Dino with no Prancing Horses so the majority of cars with them on now are incorrect if they are after an OE look.
It was supposed to be a tribute to Alfredino who designed the V6

But the later "Ferrari" Dino 246 models were fitted with prancing horse badges by Maranello Sales in the UK...

Its a bit like that nice 16v Turbo in South America that somebody posted a few weeks ago (YouTube). The thing is COVERED in Abarth logos; wheel caps, bonnet badges, rear badges...

Looks bloody ridiculous to me but apparently the Fiat dealerships over there were offering it all as extras, so technically how it came from Fiat, but still stupid...

Dino supposedly suggested the engine and had some input but was ill for much of the development and died without even seeing the engine. I think V. Jano was more involved in it.
