VERY RARE OEM original Fiat dealer parts microfiche set.  If you are unfamiliar with what this is, this is what the Fiat dealer in the 1970's and 1980's would use (pre-parts computer days) to look up what parts you needed to order for your car.  These approximately 4" x 6" durable plastic sheets contain miniaturized exploded diagrams of the entire car broken down into sections with all parts identified and numbered.

This 2 sheet set is for: Late 1968 (sn: 25000 up) and 1969 USA model Fiat 850 Spider & Coupe - (1) "BODY" sheet + (1) "CHASSIS" sheet.

You will need a microfiche reader to view these, but they are available inexpensively right here on ebay.  Also, many libraries have readers (and sometimes even printers) available for public use.  Also, keep in mind that these are VINTAGE used sheets that may have been used for years in a dealer parts counter setting.  There may be scratches, grease stains, water stains, some fading, etc. on these, but satisfaction is guaranteed.

Invaluable for figuring out what parts you need to order (your vendor will probably be surprised that you know the OEM part numbers already).  Also extremely handy for restoration work because you can usually see how things fit together (down to every fastener) if you are trying to get your car back together.

When it comes to vintage OEM Fiat microfiche, the 850 series is probably the toughest to find.  This was because the 850 series cars were the first Fiats to have microfiche produced for the dealers to use for parts look up.  Before this, everything was still being done with paper based books and manuals. In fact, apparently BOTH microfiche AND paper manuals were produced and distributed to dealers covering the 850 series Fiats.  Maybe some dealers, not being used to using microfiche, tossed it and kept using the paper manuals. Whatever the reason, the 850 fiche is not as common as most of the other Fiat models.

Hyundai ix35 Hydrogen FCEV helps kick off EcoIslands Global Summit

Fri, 26 Oct 2012

The Hyundai ix35 Hydrogen Fuel Cell has helped kick off the EcoIslands Summit on the Isle of Wight promoting renewable energy for Islands. Maybe, now more and more car makers and suppliers are starting to lose interest in BEVs (Battery Electric Vehicles), we can look properly to future prospects for an energy source for powering the world’s cars? And none, short of cold fusion becoming a reality, offers more promise than Hydrogen, the most plentiful element in the universe.
