To be honest I haven't had it out for an extend run yet. The cambelt was
13 years old on the car so i nursed it home and immediately did a FULL
service. The UK Ferrari Concours is this Sunday so I will take it out there
for a good 200 mile run.

Barchetta
Hi Guys
One of the small joys of living in the UK for the past 14 years is
the car scene. There are a lot of neat cars to play with. Having finished
the X 1/9 and having sent it off to the Ascari circuit in Spain where its
new Ferrari owning owner is based I started looking for something
different.
For years I wouldn't touch a Fiat. I made fun of them. Thought they
were junk. However slowly I started to learn a bit and realised that for a
small car, Fiat really knows it's stuff. Anyway my new project is a Fiat
Barchetta. Handbuilt by Fiat and never officially sold over here in the UK
(they are all LHD), they are a pure Itailan design with a DOHC Otto cycle
1.8l engine. We are having a hot summer so it never hurts to have a little
red convertible. Very expensive when new they are now cheap as chips. Look
what I bought for 3 grand.
Funny enough the workshop manual for this car actually says it was
designed in the spirit of the Ferrari barchetta.
Its a fun little car, shame you guys stateside can't have access to
them.
Regards
