Another, what's the car

JabbaTheHut

What is the green car between the 213 and the Opel at 18:36 ?

Is it a FIAT?

Kenny Logins

Fiat Tipo.

carchaeologist

A forgotten car, that and the Tempra..


Any left?

Handy this thread is here... want to find out what this is!

Found it in a thread on kit-type cars....



EDIT! Just found out... will leave it for anyone else who knows though.

Thanks lads. I knew I remember seeing them, but couldn't put a name on it. Doubt there's too many left now. We were tyring to identify the cars parked there. We reckoned a 406, Rover 213, going with a Fiesta van behind that, donno what's behind the Fiat, then a 309van, a Patrol and we reckon the Opel is an ascona or Kadett E. Oh, and a Cossie

Oh, and thanks Kenny for the screenshot. I tried to screenshot it myself, but my printscreen key was stuck.

Type 'snip' in the search box on Windows 7.

BTW you can also link to a certain point in a Youtube video, like this (add ?t=18m36s)-

Damn, that snip is handy. Never knew of it. Thanks

Haven't watched the video but based on the screengrab above, is that not the Tipo rather than the Tempra? It looks to be a hatchback which was the Tipo. the Tempra was the saloon model.

JabbaTheHut

Yep. Is is the Tipo, as Kenny said. I think carchaeologist was just mentioning the Tempra as a forgotton car along with the Tipo

i had two of them....couldn't really get 7 seaters in those days and the Tipo had an unusually wide back seat, important with 5 kids..... how un-PC would that be nowadays!

Right then lads, who will admit to having had a Ritmo? and did your chassis crack at the front crossmember, allowing the car to "widen" enough for the driveshaft to come out of the gearbox!!!? iver in cavan

I had a 105TC that did that.........:(

My 1st car was a Tipo - loved it!

In hindsight perhaps I could have done better, but that was then.....

I had one for 6 years, it turned me into an expert in car electrics.;)

On the plus side, grimreaper666, I would be the first to admit that a 105tc at full chat, sounded absolutely wonderfull! iver in Cavan

I saw a 1994 Tipo parked up in ITT Tallaght last Monday. Remarked to someone that I hadn't seen one in a long time. Standard dash on it, not the digital one.

I've also seen a nicely modded white 88 Sunny van up there before.
