Hi Hrishikesh,
Could you please post the Data & Adjustment standards page of the above manual.

Regards,
Adheesh Parelkar

@ Adheesh,
I think we have met once @ Midtown Pritam during FCCCI event.
I will definitely scan those Data & Adjustment Standards Pages for you. But from which manual you want those pages, Premier Padmini (Petrol) or Premier Padmini 137D ??
Other thing is that your thread i.e. Premier Padmini / Fiat 1100 Technical Information is getting much interesting & very much helpful.

Thanks Hrishikesh, however the whole credit for the technical information thread goes to Mr. Behram Dhabhar who is the top authority in Fiat mechanicals.

Thanks again.

Regards,
Adheesh

You are lucky to get that manual, they are hard to come by. A close friend has a similar car which someday I hope to purchase (purely for posterity). For that I shall make a copy from you.

I will definitely give you a copy of it, & when we will bw meeting next time, I will give you a spare PIAGGIO logo which I have snatched from an auto rickshaw in Pune.

Okay I am getting rid of all my padmini manuals, And I have quite a lot of them from the 70's to 90's. I will give them to only people who own Padminis. So PM me if you need one. I am not sure How many there are, need to sort through the pile.

Too late. I had one gave it to a friend because he bought and restored a car at my behest. But ofourse that was pre Team-Bhp days, If I get another one will scan and put it up.

@ Amol,
I would like to have one of those Padmini manual, but I don't have a car !!
Will you give me one of those manuals please ??

I have started collecting only Padmini Manuals, my collection includes a 1983 Premier Padmini (Petrol) manual & 1989 Premier Padmini 137D Service & Instruction Manuals.

I hada few car manuals with me which I gave to Stanher. There was one for the Padmini and my Kawasaki RTZ amongst others. Maybe he can have copies made and posted to people who want them.

Ladybird books were a constant source of learning through joy, and were an essential part of every boy's collection. *Ahem* this was in my childhood days, don't even know where ladybird's gone now

.
"The Story of the Motor Car" is a book I've read an innumerable mumber of times.. This 50 page compact book gives a colourful insight into the development of the motor car.
With great words, and very inspiring illustrations, this was an eight year old's first foray into the world of classic motoring.
Here are a few pages from this sweet book..

Cheers!

I found a great web-site "the old car manuals project" on Google.

Lots of owners & repair manuals plus lots of sales brochures etc., etc., all free for down loading.

I was looking for info on the 20's Chevrolet and found this site plus they have the owners manual for this car!

Santa didn't forget me after all!
