Looking for fiat 619

[top_cat_leek]

looking for Fiat 619 tractor unit 1973 to 1975 as a restoration project. anyone with any ideas would be greatly appreciated. or Volvo LHD 240 from around same time. 4 x 2 tractor units would be best.

Not the right year, but might be worth looking back…

Who’s colours will you be restoring it in?

I should imagine Italy or South America would bring fruition.

Terry,
I drove most of C & B’s motors while I was there,especially the FIAT 619 and the F88 left ■■■■■■.
For some unknown reason,I seem to have no pics of my 2 years on there!

I did a search, this was the best I came up with

Yay a rusty bucket…

Might want to try The South of Italy for a Fix It Again Tomorrow/Tony Chap…

Hi boys
Terry guess what Santa brought me, one of the new Corgi models of Robert Dodds-Browns 110 in C and B’s colours. It’s brought back so many memories and looks exactly like our 110 did but with a sleeper cab. I hope your search for a Fiat go’s well so we can see it on the rally scene.

All the best to everyone for the new year

Regards Keith

Daft reply but what about a unic. basically the same all but the badge. plenty in France. the iveco dealer just after the total garage at (remind me of the town name someone please) just before lux. not far from transalliances place just out side lux. scania dealer and iveco more or less next door to each other. saw it there when i was last on the road 6 years ago and still there 4 weeks ago when i passed on my way back from Italy in the car.

cheers ben. saved me attacking my brain cell

as you pass the iveco garage look to the right of the workshops. its a unic same spec etc as a fiat just a different name.
