not sure if he wants his name on a public forum but he was a contemporary of Raj Hingorani, Vicky Chandhok's dad, Narain Karthikeyan's dad and Karivardhan was junior by fifteen years.

cars tuned by him held 1st place record of 7 years in a row in the ambassador class (yeah they used to race ambassadors). personally he used to race 1100 saloons, heralds and Formula Indians. and he also tuned engines for other people. now he's retired and therefore, i get exclusive rights to his intellectual property

THIS CAR IS AWESOME

@planet rocker and 1100D. As per the source, this is a 1960 Fiat 1100D and has the S1-type front panel which u have commented about in my photo gallery

@planet rocker, BTW Doha is in Qatar.

Chances are high that a used Fiat would be cheaper than a used RX100

Thank you for the compliment. Build one modded Fiat soon... really soon... And I would thank Planet Rocker's videos and 1100D's beautiful ride for rekindling the fire in me.

Well, quite exciting to see such a thread! I have been scouting around for a used fiat for a while now, but all of them are asking for some ridiculus amounts like 1L etc. when i get one for about 35K, I will invest and do it up, ala race style!

(Wishful thinking)

salilpawar1 · 21st March 2007, 15:02

Ok, this is off-topic but worth sharing. A station wagon of the old Fiat 1100. Anybody having any info about the same.

And is this another variant based on the Fiat 1100???

I would seriously like to know about the performance figures of these souped up Padminis...

1) 0-100 time
2) Quarter mile times
3) Engine output.

Please........

SRK · 21st March 2007, 19:56

Hey that fiat pickup is too cool..

Man just imagine..The whole trunk fitted with speakers..
The car running on Low profile Huge Chrome rims..
A very shiny and sparkling burnt red paint..
And chrome all around..
