Solved -PJ545- Fiat Balilla 1600 from Romania

[Paul Jaray]

I'd like to know where it was built and what powers it.
I won't lock it untill it's done.
1 point for that and of course if you know the whole story (and the builder) it will bring you another one.

Any Alvis connection ?

Nope...

Base Fiat topolino??

[spider]

Built in France in the seventies ??

[Paul Jaray]

Not France...

[spider]

Romania?

[Paul Jaray]

Yes!
A Fiat from Romania. Based on which model?

[spider]

508 ballila ??

[Paul Jaray]

Yes...now only the engine is missing...not a 1089cc Balilla engine.

[spider]

Lancia power??

[Paul Jaray]

Not Lancia, a Fiat engine, but not a 1100.

[spider]

Type MM uprated engine by Siata 43bhp ?

[Paul Jaray]

My source, a magazine clipping, reveals only the displacement and it's not 1100...

[spider]

The only thing I now they used the 995 cc engine wich was updated by Siata

[Paul Jaray]

Not 1000 or 1100.
My source reports just a number, bigger than 1100.

[spider]

The only 508 balilla with a bigger engine I can find is a Romanian called: Fiat Balilla 2516 ccm [Archiwum]
But it looks very different as the one on the picture.

[Paul Jaray]

Smaller than that.

[spider]

1600 cc   sorry, I realy dont no. Fiat used so many engines.

[mekubb]

1500 cc ?

[Paul Jaray]

And spider got the point!
It's based on a Fiat Balilla and it's powered by a 1600cc engine.
If there's anyone who knows more...
