I don't desire money enough to want to do it. I'd do it for nothing though if someone was stuck and poor, it's how I am and Brian is just the same. I've no doubt a decent person will take on the role in due course.

Fiat bodies have been galvanised for years, they will rot eventually but it takes a lot of years. My old Punto was about 16 and 163,000 miles on it before it rusted. It's why I've bought this, it needs some work but it's only done 62,000 miles. They're getting very rare now and prices are rising. Cheers!

My wife had a metallic pink one many years ago, lovely stylish little car it was, the only downside was the car enjoyed eating clutches.

I`m sure the rover will reject the fiat parts in due course.

Don't forget they were trialling a Fiat diesel engine as the BMW units were too expensive prior to going bust.

I guess you can see how it all works from these.

The only problem I have (and had for a couple of years) is finding a good route from here to the clutch master reservoir. I'm not keen on drilling holes in the firewall, etc.
