Well, now we know where they get them from, since the Fiat taxis in Bombay are going off the roads once they complete 20 years!

ARUN.V & Whenasked, I have asked him to share a contact for you both to try in Bangalore. He said he will check and get back. In case if he forgets, I shall check again tomorrow and come back.

Guys, he responded back that the tyres aren't available in Bangalore. Said he will organize for the same and come back to me. So please do wait for a few days until he comes back

Check there is a 155/80 R14 also available and is just the right size of tyre. This was told to me by my Fiat Friends.

Re: 1962 Fiat 1100 Super Select - Ownership Log

Finally time has come to give the SS a well deserved paint job. Have been delaying this for long time, but off late the paint had started to show its age. Can't makeout much in the pictures but trust me, it was time to give what it deserves.

So left it with my friend last weekend and the works have started. Thinking of a similar grey shade with white roof. Mechanicals are great now and planning to change just the radiator.

Amby came along to leave the SS at work and get the diff oil leak fixed.
