Hello.
I have just purchased a Brown 126 1986 & am looking forward to getting him back on the road.
I am based in south East Northumberland - about 15 miles north of Newcastle upon Tyne
Regards

Hello jerry, welcome to the forum, I hope you enjoy your journey with your fiat, is it an air cooled model or the bis. You'll find the guys on here very helpful and acommodating.....look forward to seeing some pictures ( if possible) regards...Nigel..

It's air cooled
Very sound chassis with virtually no rust but quite a few dinks.
Planned MOT next Tuesday
Need to fit standard springs on the back & drivers side refurbished kingpin before then.
Car came with original tyres from 86.  So got rims powder coated & new tyres fitted.
Engine runs fine but clutch needs adjusting.
