particularly old timers on here....
do you remember Andy from Deal who took the Plunge and brought a Fiat 500N
Well to quote him, "numerous trips to Italy, a heart attack and changing garages multiple time it was finished thanks for all your help and advice but never again"
He finished his N and was on a quest to do the best resto in the UK..
Well he got close but chose some personal options rather than original and was unable to find every part..
But he was awarded best in show at the NEC classic car show Meguiar's Club Showcase 2024
I have a few pictures but if you were there you would have seen it... (will post later)
He told me it was the hardest thing he had done and he has won that award several times before with his minis...
But he could not believe how hard it was to find the correct parts and how much they were...
and he will not do another 500
