Wooowww!!! What a really pleasant surprise!!
Karl (who had shown me this car once too) had tried so hard for the last few years to trace the owner of this car in vain! The house outside where its lying has always been locked.
Even I had wished someone who owned the car showed up so I could rescue it!
Am I glad someone finally has claimed this poor thing! I hope the car is not gone too bad (this is an old photo) though!
@ pavan: yes the car is complete barring some of the instruments, 2 rear wheels and the dicky/bootlid, if you could call it that- (its just a little flap at the back with limited luggage space. The 8 was intended to be as basic as possible! For this reason the 8 also didnt have a front grille as 'standard'- an optional grille was available at an extra price.)
@srij1266: At the outset welcome to the forum! Glad to have another standard enthusiast- someday we're gonna outnumber you fiat phreaks out there....muahahahaha!! (J/K!
)
Anyways, for now, here's a guide to how your car should look like:
