offtopic:
when i was in school - i used to see a light blue (with black top) LHD fiat parked near my school @ Swinhoe Lane - just beside Chaplin Park near South Point High School - the car was DL **-**** registered. i havent seen the car for a very long time - @ 1100D - have you ever seen this car?

please see Cyrus' signature - CYRUS "FIAT CRAZY BAVAJI" DHABHAR- but still -> great buy

Thats a awesome padmani, whats the difference between LHD and RDH, other then the driving side.

[planet_rocker]

if i am not wrong the specification will be similar to this one: http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/indian...ture-1093.html

or it will be a regular fiat with a 1089cc engine - but LHD.

in the original italian fiats - please see the direction of the wiper movement - it moves towards the left (the drivers' side) but in the indian counter parts the direction remained same but the drivers' side changed (please see my gallery). the structural difference between a fiat 1100D and a PP is explained in 1100D's Gallery

i have not taken into consideration the Padminis n which the direction of wiper movement was corrected. but at the end of the day i aint a fiat guru. :( - if i am wrong please correct me.

Congrats Behram and Congrats Cyrus!!

Great Car, Great Buy.
Unique car - Unique piece.

Best of Luck!

[Cyrus43]

THERE IS NO STRUCTURAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A 1100D AND A PADMINI. it is just a myth. dad had studied the original drawings and they are exactly the same.

@ported head..fiat number 5-padmini number 3

[moralfibre]

Congratulations Cyrus and Behram. Wanted to see it on Sunday but a late Saturday night made it difficult. Hope to see it soon.

great pick and indeed a rare piece

The car looks good Congrats for owning the beauty.

One kushun has the car undergone any surgery I mean the Front lower vents are what the new cars sported Also the headlights look clear lens type.

There is one Blue car with Padmini badge which is also LHD & had exterior body panels like late 80's padmini(similar to what you have posted)

Was LHD an export version which few people bought by juggad ?
