Hi Joe,
I've been lurking in the background, but work and life in general have kept me so busy that I haven't been joining in much lately.
I always make sure to read your posts though.
Can I pinch your photos to email to a friend here who may know more about old Fiats than I do?
Jon

Good to hear you're watching..... I reckon

.... how's that wine cellar btw
As far as posting the photo.. be my guest. Or as we say "slabolutly.
I was told nine of these were shipped to the US for the 64-65 Worlds Fair in New York NY and were built as seen in my photos.
But I've yet to actually see any other photos of one.
You and Darren are correct in saying it is a 600 and having gleaned from what little info is on the internet it must have a name other than furgone, since technically it is not. Because a van is an enclosed vehicle.

Joe,
No help from my mate Tino I'm afraid.
He can tell a BSA Spitfire MkII from a Mk IV at fifty metres but cares nothing about FIATs.
We got the first episode of a cop drama called "The Glades" last night. No doubt it's a true to life view of your area.

Hi Jon
Thanks for the effort . I've been contemplating whether or not emailing FIAT for details.
I have discovered the words that make up the acronym
FIAT though.
Fix It Again Tony

I thought it was Found In A Tip, not to be confused with FORD (Found On Rubish Dump)

Ha ha.. wrong. Ford is Fast On Race Day.
My f150 reached 254,000 miles before trading up to my explorer. The engine transmission and axel never had anything more than regular service. Infact mate... infact the only gasket replaced on the engine was the one on the oil filter.
So there.
