There is a 4th series B20 coming up for sale at the next Artcurial auction on the 13th June 2011. It has lots of Nardi bits, carbs, floor change, steering wheel and bonnet scoop, plus Boranni wheels, condor radio and interestingly sliding door windows, just a pity about the paint colour!! http://www.artcurial.com/en/asp/fullcatalogue.asp?salelot=2015+++++214+&refno=10352371&image=1 |

Qn1 - were the windows a Nardi fittment?
Qn2 - who can name all of PA, BA, BO, MI, ROMA, TO, and CL on the radio dial?

Looks very nice, but I agree the colour is a bit in your face! Brian 8227  |

Radio stations are; PA=Palermo; BA=Bari; BO=Bologna; Mi=Milano; Roma=Rome; To-Torino; CL=Caltanisetta in Sicily.
The sliding windows are a bit of a mystery...perhaps a later fitment.

Am I being a little dim here but where has the starter button gone? It looks like the windscreen washer chrome button has been moved as well - shouldnt it be above the radio on early 4th Series B20s with the Veglia instruments.
Also I cant see the point of fitting sliding (perspex?) windows if you dont alter the door cards as well to give more room for elbows? The weight saved is useful but to have more elbow room with a big wheel is also very useful whatever size you are.
As to the colour, there was a metallic green available when the car was built but not as garish as this I believe although digital photography might be the culprit here.
They are suggesting top money for this car and to achieve this I think it must be as original as possible.

Chris - I think you're being a bit generous about the paint - I'm sure it's not the photography - it just looks too modern for the car.
The starter button is there - it's to the right of the light switch; but the washer button is missing so it changes the look of the dashboard, and I think there should only be 3 switches below the radio - heater; foglights and wipers - and the interior light should be separated from these, and be below the starter button.

It didn't sell - did the paint put off buyers? - but they liked the Flaminias - a Touring convertible sold for 54,000 euros and a Zagato sold for 117,000 euros!
