Re: Racing Fiats
KR.....when i was in OZ a few weeks ago i saw Errol Shearsby, he has been working for Revolution Racegear ever since he moved to Australia when George Santana moved over and started Revolution 20+ years ago.

Re: Racing Fiats
Sorry for bring up an old topic, but as you guys know I am a FIAT guy and still exploring the forum.
My father actually races a FIAT 131 in historic touring cars.
Here is a foto of him at Zwartkops.

Re: Racing Fiats
Thank you for the pic of Errol's 132. Only pic I had was a small black and white picture from the race programme of 6 Nov 1976 Wynn's 1000 race at Kyalami
Wonder what happened to the car? Would like to built a replica of that car, since I got a spare Elita at home.

Re: Racing Fiats
In the 1971 I had a 125 Scorpion. It was a epic car for that time. I got the car with a about 2500km on the clock. I drove that car for 16 years with more that 360000 on. In that time there was a few engine, gearbox and diff changes. LOL
