The tinker said the car is for sale - a single owner car, according to him.

Found this NE at the same premises. Must say, I like the grille job - suits the car

Is this car the original Italian Fiat 128?

No, sir. I'm pretty sure it's a humble NE.

Recently spotted a tiny cute Fiat Jolly 650 in Pune.
Engine details are not known but believed to be powered by Inline-2, naturally aspirated, 652 cc with power output of 23 hp and torque of 43 Nm.
Credits to online forums but not sure as year of manufacture is not known. The car is Delhi registered and seemed well maintained.

Spotted this one in front of my office, it is probably for sale at a nearby dealer.

Spotted in Pune during the evening peak hours. Though not in the best shape, it was in use and the driver and his co-passenger were youngsters. Only enthusiasts can have the enthusiasm to drive such cars in the crowded streets of Pune (or any other big city) during peak hours.

Hey Antlerroad , this Fiat car is now owned by Mr. Badamikar. He is a very well known car collector.

Found this one - under RESTORATION at a road-side garage in UNDERA near Vadodra.
The name of garage is Reliance Auto Body Centre.
The quality of tin work gave me cringes.
Has original SOLEX carb.
Electronic fuel pump location

Dashboard is modified too
Front door handles are aluminium but rear doors are steel

We all know @Boeuff (Prashanth) on the forum. He has a very original early premier padmini.

He shared the following image of the wheel jack, as per him this came along wit the car.

Posting after a long time here.

4 years, & quite a lot of fears & tears later, my Millecento's restoration is almost complete. There are a few missing bits, but I'll add them up as & when I find them.
Sharing a few before-after pics.
