Well as the Holden will soon be gone but not forgotten  I needed something to mess around with but I needed it to be dirt cheap. So here I present the latest little project, but try guessing what it is first (sticker is a large clue - its not a 2 seater sports car ;D) Got to love the expertly put on stripes   |

well the other one (which is away getting new metal put in) was held together by fresh air and filler, where as this one has had loads of welding by the previous owner, and then he got a Ferrari instead  |

Well best to give some details. About a month ago a member of the Fiat Amigo club said he had a Fiat 900E camper for sale as he doesnt have a need for it any more, and i had been contacting him for a week or so, but then the computer gave up and the new computer didnt have email capability for a week, so i half expected the camper to have been sold, but found out it was still for sale (possibly due to being in Scotland). So a time was arranged and i went out to view it. Well it was obvious was was going to happen . Hands were shook, and next came arranging how to collect it. A date was set and Saturday just gone i drove up to the sellers house, paid some dosh, and 5 minutes later the low loader turned up. The camper was quickly loaded, and i followed the guy all the way back to the garage, where the camper started first time and drove in  Plans are to book an mot, drive it in, and come out with a couple of hundred fail sheets |

So what *is* the difference between a T and an E?
|
| |
|
|

the 900T has drum brakes, 12inch wheels, and a sort of 'star' design rear light.
the 900E has front discs, 13inch wheels, and square rear lights.
(probably other things are different too)

Cool little van.
Clocks very similar to MK2 Fiat 127 clocks.
Running gear must be a mix of Fiat 850/127.
Has it got an oil filter or the centrifugal bowl on the end of the crankshaft?
