Guess this car - Dent's Orange Edition <<solved - Fiat Cinquecento >>

Arthur Dent · January 30, 2007, 03:11:55 PM

Since I keep ending up owning orange cars for some reason (three so far!) I though I'd post a guess that orange car. And no I don't own this one.

Fiat based?

Tifosi · January 30, 2007, 04:17:54 PM

Is it based on a Pugeout 104?

Did I spell it right?

As far as I can tell, yes.

A 1974 model, I think

In a manner speaking I suppose it is. Not Pugeout based and 1974 is off by a couple of decades.

and registered in Bedfordshire.

Pretty sure its not a '74 - perhaps someone used to an old plate to grey market import

any more guesses?

Otto Puzzell · February 07, 2007, 01:05:21 PM

Is it from a formerly Eastern-block nation, built from old Fiat bits or Fiat-sourced tooling?

Arthur Dent · February 07, 2007, 01:14:55 PM

Fiat parts and Fiat tooling ... Fiat everything ... not an eastern block nation

Otto Puzzell · February 07, 2007, 02:03:01 PM

Ah-HA!

SeaLion · February 07, 2007, 05:56:17 PM

It is a Fiat Cinquecento (500) that someone have changed the rear end of the roof at. But who did the rebuild? Gianninni perhaps?

This is an original Cinquecento:

Yes! Not sure about the rear conversion but it certainly doesn't look homemade.
