General Topolino A 1939 help

[Carl B]

Hello,

Me and my son have just purchased a Topolino A 1939 project and in need of help. Probably lots in the future. We wondered if anyone can recommend parts specialists as they appear hard to find which I guess is not surprising given the age. We would also be interested to know how we find a Fiat colour chart from 1939 as we are looking to match to original available colours.

Thanks all.

Hello,

Interesting and very ambitious project, good luck.

As for color charts, I only got those:

https://hdpaintcode.com/fiat/ (it covers the color chart from 1956)

https://www.uniquecarsandparts.com.au/colour_codes_fiat (which apparently should cover from the 1940's, but the hyperlinks are present since 1956, too).

Thanks for your reply and help. I’m in need of 1930’s Fiat period colours and hope to find somewhere.

Fiat Heritage site may be able to assist on this

https://www.topolino-parts.com/en/Home.htm can help with all parts in Switzerland. Prices okay.
Been buying stuff off him for years.
May help with original colour charts as well.
There are other sites that sell Topolino stuff, mainly in Italy and Holland. Need to search the web.
Its hit and miss in the UK finding stuff. Main players when I was really into Topolino have moved on.
There is always Ebay which turns up stuff.
If I suggest other clubs people here on this site don't seem to like it. But come up with no other suggestions.
BUT you need to contact the Fiat Register. See online.
Also active Facebook groups in the UK and Europe. Search Fiat Topolino A/B/C UK. And Fiat Topolino 500A 500B 500C Oldtimer
Big following in Europe.

Years ago I had some paint mixed up that seemed to match okay. Think I used a sample of original paint along with paint code.
Need someone to try and match old Fiat codes like Verde Chiaro 320, Amaranto 127, Blu 425, Nero 601, Beige 501, 504 and 508, Verde 335, Grigio 609 and Rosso 102.

Good luck.

I would strongly recommend that you get in touch with Paolo Bellinazzi on https://topolinisti.com/

He can share all sorts of information with you and yes, speaks wonderful english.

Cheers from Australia ..... plenty of Topos down here too!
