Nice work keeping a Tipo going, they are super rare now! I notice yours has the digital dash, is that factory fitted? I don't quite understand the digi dash thing on Fiats, were they just fitted to top spec models? I've seen Tempras with and without, but never a Tipo with one.

Some Tipos did come with them - my dad had a 1.9 TD SX about 12 years ago and that had one...when it worked ;D

The digi dash is actually standard on the DGT models and some diesels, I suspect that the DGT was top of the range as it has leccy windows too and central locking ect, Its pretty reliable as far as they go, had astras and the old montego digidashes and they were trouble all the time.... |

Never seen a Tipo looking this good . The DGT was the top
of the range with digital dash, then there was also the rare
Abarth.

The digital dash was fitted to the high spec tempra and tipo models upto the mid life facelift around L reg when its was dropped from both models.
I had a 1.4 DGT with the digital dash and was fab, fooled a rather dumb mate that it went a lot faster by pressing the button to convert from mph to kph! Really liked the back seat on the prefacelift cars as it is shaped well to seat three.
Glad to see there's a teapot thats being well preserved!

Mr Brainbox there with that info...... the RH cups are not on wobbleys there kinda squeezed on also they have horrendus size spacers on there too, cos the ofset is about 10-15....I'm after getting rid of them for something else but don't know what to go for as of yet.. |

Did it cost a lot to do it up? Didnt cost a major amount id say ive probably spent just over a grand or so in the last few years, most stuff hand made or salvaged to keep costs down, Whats your ride? |
