Thema owners..... brace yourself
« on: 11 June, 2010, 02:22:01 PM »
Found this on the side of the road not even a mile away from me!!!
After doing a bit of research it turns out to be an ex-Italian embassy car and a very high spec.
Called into the owner and he says he wants to clean it and get it back working (now that hes retired).... we'll see....

Is it my eyes, but is the steering not round, it looks like it has a touch of the Austin Allagro ::)

Looks like someone has had a go at nicking it. Steering wheel looks like it’s bent, probably trying to get a crook-lock off + wires from the ignition are hanging out.

Shame to see such a good car go to waste.

 ??? What you cant see is the glove compartment lid ripped off and the steering wheel cowl in bits on the floor. I spent the past 8 yrs restoring a Thema to a very high standard, when I started you could buy a lot of parts from main Fiat dealers But now there is little or nothing to be got, this means searching e-bay ect. ???
