Rust in Peace - Fiat 850 Coupe

[craigowl 0]

One or two Fiats were not bad years ago.

The Fiat 850 Coupe in the picture was a second hand buy by my best man in about 1971.

The engine was in the back I think, and the car was a lot of fun.

Typically for the era, rust appeared to have been welcomed and encouraged by most motor manufacturers, so I dont know if many have survived until today.

The owner of the car in the photo went on to become a principle teacher of Physics despite enjoying helping to "take the pish" out of our own teachers in secondary school.
