stillOrange's crap Harley and shit Fiat

[mercrocker]

Nice update, I take it the 133 is a UK market one? Looks like an original Bournemouth reg. anyway..... By the way yon Harley is a Flathead not a Shovel!

Was the 133 a Seat based on the old 850? Did they rebadge them Fiat for the UK? I recall them being a very rare sight in the seventies.

Indeed, it is RHD UK market one. I know there's another one registered and taxed but apparently imported from somewhere in Europe.

Regarding that Harley, you must forgive me. I know nothing about them and the actual owner said its was shovelhead.

Something like that. They were produced as Fiats for number of years in Argentina.
This one was made in Spain.

That is lovely

I think I recall seeing a few in Mallorca around 1975 when I was a nipper on holiday with my 'rents. Certainly thousands of Fiat 850's as well as the Seat version of the Fiat 600. With the 126 and the hugely popular 127, you wonder why Fiat needed the 133.

Oddly, it's not listed in any Glass's Guide of the 1970's.

Interesting about the Glass Guide. A bit weird.

Here's a copy of the Autocar test from August '75.
Big thank you to Spottedlaurel of AS who sent me a copy.

Tried to turn them on my phone but to no avail.

78 Caprice 4 door sedan with the 350/350 and a 2.41/1 inside a ten bolt.
It also must have AG9 seats and the AF7 comfort package.
Go and dig one up and don't even think about reporting back until that's achieved.
1BN69L...
That would make me book the ferry ticket.

That caprice I posted in EBay thread is at reduced price!
Right year and I think right engine. It's MOTed and the new asking price is around £1600...

It couldn't be a closer match.

What else can I say.

This brought a huge grin to my face but I need to have a chat with the guy that fixed it about the advisory.
