One For Classic Car Fans.....

The badge assembly on the yellow car is the very same as the one on the white car, which is a SEAT. The yellow car could be a FIat, but like I said, the buyer would have to ignore many examples of essentially the same car made in Spain and import a Fiat from Italy, highly unlikely and proper crackers. I've criss-crossed Spain and seen umpteen 600's, 100% of them have been made in Spain SEAT's, unsurprisnigly. However, if you showed a non-spaniard, one they'd think "FIAT" I suppose.

OK. I'll just leave this here then.

You do that, I'll leave you with this, the badges changed for both, often, it's a 1970 model

Nice information on their history.

Now I will concede. It was the badge shape that pushed me to Fiat. The one you first showed in evidence was not the same design but this new one above does look like the car in question. I’m happy to be convinced and proved wrong by the right argument!

I currently have a set of 16" Alloys for a MGF for sale on Ebay, a guy in the US has contacted me asking if I'll ship them to the US to put on this TR7, I said I won't ship, but he can have them collected if he makes all the arrangements.

Love the van. My folks bought a brand new one, B442 ABH, when I was a nipper and had it converted. We covered all of Europe (of old) in my youth. It's the reason I did my own, though being a T5.1 not a classic...

Mrs D had a new MGTF when I first met her. Young blonde lass flying about with the roof down was too much for the Drago testosterone levels to bear.
