Greetings from Italy
« on: September 04, 2010, 10:47:02 AM »
Hy guys! I'm a newbie from Italy  8). Recently i've bought my first vintage car, a '77 Personal 4... As you know this was the first year of production for this model... It was years that i would buy a 126 and now i got!!! The car have  a little of rust.. but the engine works very well and driving it is a special pleasure... Now step by step i hope to refit it in the best way.
As soon as possible i'll post some pictures of my "macinino" as i call it  ;D.

grazie, dottore - and welcome  :) where in italy are you? ooh, i So wanted a '77 personal [the year i was born!] - does it have a sun-roof? what colour is it? i have recently bought an '89 bis - so much fun! i had ridden a 1965 vespa sprint up until recently - and, surprisingly, don't miss it at all! the 126 grin-factor really is beyond compare!

ciao, ic
