Hello, we are Cinzia e Paolo, both Fiat 124 car enthusiast.
This
is my father's old Fiat 124, pictured here some twenty five years
ago, near the end of her career. This first car belonged to my family and,
for many reasons, not all goods, that poor car, quite scruffy and time weathered
was uncerimoniously and quietly scrapped, at the fall of 1983.
But she has left a deep trace on my mind and - above all - in my heart,
I' always loved her and she showed me the motorcar and races world. I' didn't
want to resign myself completely for her ignominious end, so, in the last
few years I'was looking for another example to restore.
About a year ago I' luckily found a quite rare example, a first serie 1200
belonged to Cinzia's home.
Cinzia's father bought this brand new 124 in the far 1967,and through all of this time the car was on her family load, driven - in the last few years - by Cinzia's mother also, until she passed away.
At
the disappearance of her own old mother, Cinzia carefully preserved the
precious veteran 124 and saved her from the torch of the scrapman; at the
end of 2005 she sold me the car.
Now I'm completely overhauling & rebuildig her with many care, helped by a skillfully Fiat/Lancia mechanics team (my old friends who, in turn, had just overhauled for many past years that of my father!) and using genuine and brand new huge of spares to bring her near "factory-fresh" status.
In this site we’ll tell you not only about of this particular example but the entire history of the family-models and her numerous Marks and versions.
We hope that you can like and enjoy this site, superbly ideated, managed and built by our skillfull Webmaster, Cinzia.
We
dedicate this pages to all of them who love this car all around the world!
Enjoy our site
