Fiat 124 Familiare

When Aurelio Lampredi halfway the years '60, designs a complete new engine for the Fiat 124, he couldn't have dreamt that he is building the base for a world champion. On top of that, his engine appeared to have such good bones, that is survived almost four decades. As a successor for the 1300/1500-series, Fiat presents the sharp edged 124 on the Autosalon Genève in march 1966. Under the hood of this 4 door sedan, houses a complete new engine, internally known as 124.A.000.  With his pushrods and aluminium head, the cast iron block is a perfect fit for this time frame.  translated from  AutoWeek , original text by Cornelis Kit https://www.autoweek.nl/autonieuws/artikel/de-motor-van-de-fiat-124-maakte-lancia-wereldkampioen/ This engine was the brainchild of Aurelio Lampredi, and yes indeed, the same Lampredi that made name (and fame) at Ferrari with his legendary V12's. Since 1955 he is reponsible for the development of new engines at Fiat. That includes the engine of the ...

There is nothing romantic to the origin of Lada. The Fiat 124 Berline won the 1967 title "Car of the Year). Meanwhile the Sovjets were looking for a familycar, that could be build locally (in a new to be build city). It had to be easy to be mass produced and, to be sold for a resonable price, so that it maybe even could be exported. Next to that, the car should be strong, to handle the Sovjet roadconditions. translated from  Auto Motor Klassiek , original text by Dolf Peeters https://amklassiek.nl/lada-1200-meer-dan-een-fiat-124/2021/07/04/ Free to use under the  Unsplash License Italians are flexible Luckily for Moscow, the Italians were communistic enough to sell their cars to everybody with enough cash.

Works like a charm, but for the front seals you have to shorten them (hence at the 2105 there is no triangle shaped window. first you pry the end upwards Getting the chrome strips off - without damaging the paint (or the stainless trim) is a pain in the $%s. But once you know - you know. Then slide backwards when you watch carefully - you can see the 3 "clips" where the trim grips For the rear doors...  removing is the opposite, so there you pry on the front and slide towards the front of the car. Placing the new rubbers in and the trim back again, is rather easy. A little lubrication helps. article codes                ...
