@ JayD: are you sure about the sunvisors being of some Merc model. Can you post a pic of the same fitted on any Mercedes. I hope they are of use to someone.

Jay D these are very non characteristic of mercedes, definately not ponton and Fintail, or W 115 Dont go on the Fabric. They are very similar to fiat ones but they were mostly aluminum in Fiats.

Powertwin from where are you procuring these parts. Is there any dealer clearing the old stocked inventory or is it something else. Just curious to know. Any part related to Fiat cars ? Hope to see some more interesting vintage parts.

Need senior members to identify certain parts posted here in my previous post!!
My guessing may be wrong also...on certain parts like Meter dials, switches etc.,
Guys like JayD, can cross check those Merc switches & those blue hand grips ( I was told it belongs to VW Beetle, its new.)
In common Bikes like Bobby, me had few doubts....which is yet to be cleared though

Indrjit Ji,
I am interested in Vintage bike parts ( even I have few 3 & 4 wheelers--Vintage)
Also interested in some watch & Clock collections,.....in that way while hunting for my requirement......land up places like this..
As on date I have picked parts worth approx 80K, from this person
still some more items are in my " PICK ' list .
So I can't reveal the contact details...( as a senior enthusiast you may be aware of the consequences )
Till now I have sourced plenty of both Two wheeler & car parts for real enthusiasts.
Ever since I turned T bhpian , my preference is for bhpians first...others second .
If nobody is not interested in certain parts , if I find it interesting I may pick it......all depends on the circumstances
PS: This week I picked few clocks...that includes a rare CYMA clock & a beautiful DERBY Electronic Swiss world clock ( rare stuff at least in our part of the Globe)>>>>>>think,Nopes!!! - yes from the same person

Guys do help me out in identifying the car to which these sunvisors belong. I am thinking of selling them off as they are of no use to me. So please help me out in this regard.

Dear Friends,

I'll be shortly restoring a 1956 Millecento( Yeah yeah, I know you guys will say "another Millecento"!!)

But to bring her back to glory I need your help & guidance.

Now for the parts I need:
1) Original headlights (I again know that this is nearly impossible, but then nothing has been IMPOSSIBLE on TBhp)
2) Original tailights
3) Hub caps (with "FIAT" written in centre)
4) Speedometer
5) "Hoods" around the speedometer & fuel gauge
6) Yellow HORN button
7) The very RARE "millecento" emblem, usually found on dash board/passenger side.
8) Ivory 'KNOB' on gear shift

I may need more parts but that's when we open her & dig more..

((AM I asking for TOO much?!?!?!?))

Raab Rakha,
Sonu

The only thing that you will find here easily are the two round meters, that too in scrap yards meter shops. All other things are very very hard to find, keep looking.

One of Our friend bought the Carello original headlights from abroad for his Elegent and also some other stuff. Another member also bought some stuff from abroad. But on a ebay search yesterday,found that parts have dried up.

Keep looking. You can use Jawa motorcycle headlight's for your car, they are same size.
