#2, Pretty much nonexistant for anything that isn't a late-model 500. Owning one would require networking with other owners and relying on used parts or shipping from overseas....basically, the same thing I had to deal with on my Peugeot. Except probably more difficult, since the Pug 505 is more common here than any Fiat. |

Fiat has (had?) a strange policy for old models. I've already mentioned they flat out seemed to pretend to forget about some things they manufactured (Huh, a 'Ritmo'? Nope, never heard of it) and parts for others are impossible to get: recently a bunch of Polish X1/9 owners placed an order in a German auto glass factory for new front windshields since they could not get them anywhere else. |

#5, If anything the internet is a godsend for trying to keep an old and semi-obscure model of car running, for those of you younger than about 20, you can count yourselves lucky that you don't have to place ads in collector publications or scour antique stores/car shows looking for parts like you used to. Or buy every junk car that yours was a descendant of in the hopes of some parts-interchangablility |
