Very nice. 
Yes that's lovely... has it got fancy rear lights?
Like the wheeltrims, classic Tipo. Mine has similar 14" equivalents.
Unfortunately no more Montalbano on BBC4 any more. IMO the coolest cop car ever... (well the earlier petrol one.. not so keen on the later clattery diesel with the extra brake light and wrong wheeltrims).

Hi bluejohn125
It's got cool rear lights, but I'm not sure how fancy they are. There's a photo of the back of the car on page 5 of this thread.
The wheeltrims are wonderfully Tipo stylish
Shame they're scratched, but they're not too bad for the age of the car and at least they're original!
Montalbano's car is amazing... And I've got the available episodes on DVD, so may watch another episode soon (if only to give my 1.4 some inspiration!
Cheers and thanks for the nice comments.

I took my Tipo in to the garage to get the cambelt and water pump sorted and asked to give it a check over while he was there.
Found that the brake pipes need changing and it needs a bit of welding underneath.
So it needs another £150 spending on it.
Glad I didn't sell it to Tomskii as I didn't want him to think I was ripping off - I didn't know????

No, it's still for sale, my wife wants us to get something newer.
I had it done because I'm using it now as my daily driver, I've sold my Lancia!!
I don't want to get the other things done as that will push the price up.
I'll put some photos up soon, if I can remeber how to do it???
Open to offers for it!

I think you should sell the wife instead: you don't need that sort of negativity in your life!
Congratulations on this Camo. It looks like a pretty authentic Teapot. Always like green on a Tipo too. I'm sure I've seen the other badges on Ebay, set the search to Europe as probably Italian sellers only, but they are reliable

I'm really chuffed with it, and can't wait to get the new exhaust on, which should be Friday.
I was kind of looking for silver initially (then realised I was being way too picky) and the green is really growing on me!
I'll definitely look on eBay for the badges etc. It's going to take a while to get just right, but strangely it's the little details like the badges and smashed air vent that are bothering me!
How's your epic welding project coming along? I'd love to see pics of your Tipo now!
