Not often you see these even a H&H events these days, more's the pity.

I'm going to allow the wild guesses to start!

It's such a lovely car. I saw one recently in Munich and I was blown away by its beauty.  :wub:

There were a few Fiat 128 variants.

This is a Fiat 128__.

The full range of Fiat 128s were sold in the UK, including this version.

I had a Fiat 128 back in the 70s.  Didn't look anything like this.

:clap:

Fiat Coupes in the 1960s and 1970s tended to have a completely different body than the saloon car from which they were derived. Look at the 124 Saloon and compare it to the Coupe and Spider to see this approach, too.

Yep, pretty much correct. These were beautiful cars. Still are. The last one I saw was at the Theresienwiese Oldtimer show in central Munich and it was lovely.

Most of them have sadly rusted away, but you might find some in Spain and Southern Italy and southern Eastern Europe where the mild climates are friendlier to them.


CJ, post the next mystery car!
