    Found it http://www.classiccarsireland.eu/autos_detail.asp?ID=275 no price.

    selling yourself ?? Hmm, resession hit some more then others i see :D


    also, nice car, back when fiat made beautiful cars and reliablity was a lie.
    not too fond of the color but if you can afford to buy it, you can afford to stick whatever color you like on it...

    simple really, was fired from a job of 22 years with esb, six months after making an allegation of bullying against some managers, on the advise of my union colleagues, (teeu). Funnily enough my (ex)colleagues, (one, the most senior, a Labour county councillor) were nowhere to be seen at that stage. Now nearly two years later I am still waiting for a hearing at employment appeals tribunal.
    So, have been slowly selling off my cars to keep the kids fed. Two fulvias gone already, one to Kilrush other to Hong Kong, believe it or not, and thats the Hong Kong over near China, and not the one near Tralee. Selling the Dino hurts the most, but, needs must. Its better to have had it for 6 years and sold it than to have had a modern car for six years only to find it worthless.
    The good thing is that I am stronger for the experience, and in that, those that would attempt to "manage" by bullying, harassment and intimidation, at every level up to chief executive and board, have only highlighted their own incompetence.
    Probably sorry you asked, yea???????
    Must also advertise the project alfa.

    it would not have been my first choice of color either, although I do like it now, but the car was right for me every other way, so wouldn't pass it up over color. Wouldn't dream of changing it, as has happened so many others, there should be a few kept in original color as opposed to cliche red or suchlike.

    thanks for all good wishes
    telling the story is empowering
    I don't want to hijack this forum totally with off topic issues, but I now know that what happened me is not untypical
    putting it simply, having rights is lovely but useless, unless you can have them enforced
    should this be copied to another forum

    Just fyi - there's a Work & Jobs forum that might offer you some advice if you're looking for some.

    Stick around here too, though.

    Hi Nodoctor,
    I'm sorry to hear of your misfortune. I sincerely hope that things get better for you. The more I learn the less I know..
    To the rest of you, I have seen this car in the flesh and having owned one in the past I can tell you that this is a very nice car. I don't agree about the colour, I think it's brave and individual (mine was yellow ffs!).
    I hope this car goes to a good home, they are simply fantastic to own and drive. Mine took me to Le Mans (and towed a "back-up" modern Volvo to the ferry on the way back).
    I will keep my ear to the ground for potential non tyre kicker buyers.
    In the meantime I wish you the very best of luck.
