Title: Valentino's 126 body panels
Post by: meuton on September 07, 2007, 11:29:30 PM

Has anyboy noticed that if you look closely at the pictures of Valentino's car in the garage section that the side profile of his panel work is completely different from the other 126's on this site, i.e. the square indent detail on the side profile form front to back is not there givingthe panel a smooth run down from the high crease line,

Is this a modification or is this a completely different panelled car that was produced?

Cheers Doug

this is the happy end shape i do believe (the last 126 produced).

This shape was first introduced in 1994, so all 126 made between 1994 and 2000 look like that.

Well maybe not all as the body was much less rust resistant  :lol:

thanks for that guys I had no idea they actually restyled it on that model, gives the car a real clean side profile very euro look
