Old pictures with Fiats in them.

I was looking thru old family photo albums to see if I could find a picture of my 1980 X. I didn't find the X, but I found this picture my brother took in Beirut back in the same time period. That red car sure looks like a 124 sedan.

Jim, it's a 125 mark2 (1608cc twincam), nice car indeed

Thanks ghost,

So that car is a Polski then. A friend gave me a small die cast model of a 125p because it looked like my sedan. The model sits on my desk next to an even smaller die cast X1/9.

actually the 125 was developed from the 124 body, the factory was in hurry to replace the 1800\2300 six cyl. now obsolete with it's finned tail and pushrod motors, so they used a modified 124 body and the 124 sport coupe twincam motor bored and stroked to 1600cc
