    Wonderful. I have probably 20 of these on various colors. The ritmo (called the Strada in the USA) is an all time favorite for me. I have 5 of the full size ones and am completing a full restoration on one of them (also a 4 door). Side note, always found it funny that Majorette added the Abarth stripes on a 4 door when all Abarth modes were 2 doors. Oh well, a’ Abarth 4 door would have been fun!

      They sold this car in the U.S?? I never knew. It was not a bad car, except it started rusting in the brochure already.

    • @AMPROEngineering
      @AMPROEngineering 2 года назад +2

      @@fatdad64able Yes they did but the front and rear had unique and strange bumpers. 4 of my 5 are California cars since new and have zero rust BUT i had one from the state of Wisconsin that broke down a lived in a garage from 1986 to 2006. Someone decided to paint it before they sold it in 2006 so it looked wonderful but when I began working on the car a few years later, the horrors were found. The car was rotted almost everywhere at the rear. Parted it out to rescue one that lived in a California desert for 30 years so the perfect plastic and rubber came in handy. I think none of the fiats of this vintage could survive salt and moisture.

    Don't be too hard on yourself, my dear Paul. The Ritmo turned out great and the idea with the front number plate is the icing on the cake...😁

    Thank you so much for sharing, mate. Have a great weekend to you and your family and stay safe and sound. Keep up the good work.

    Love the restoration on this Fiat, turned out fantastic!! My parents had a late model Ritmo / Strada as it was called here, an despite what a lot of people say about them. It was a excellent car for us, since it was very reliable. Seeing this little Majorette model, bought back many good memories of holidays an day trips away 🙂 🚗

  • @teebodk3917
    @teebodk3917 2 года назад

    Very nice save considering what you had to work with (front end damage) The Ritmo was extremely popular when it first came out and won several "car of the year awards", but the popularity faded very quickly and most model makers never included it in their ranges.
    I have a few Ritmo diecast models, but all but one are modern collector models. The only one of vintage origin is a red Dinky France #1403, issued in 1981 as one of their very last diecasts, so it was quite nice to see this one from Majorette. While modern collectors diecasts often look good, they don't have that special "toy car" feel and charm of the old ones, like that opening tailgate on yours.
    I'll list my modern Ritmo diecasts (all in 1/43th scale), for any collectors out there who may have been inspired by your restoration to try hunting down a Ritmo model for their own collections:
    Grani & Partners/Edison, #803521, Ritmo 60/L, light blue
    Grani & Partners/DeAgostini, #5125CMC023, Ritmo 60/L, civilian police (IT), dark blue (from police cars partwork collection)
    Atlas/Altaya/Ixo, #NQC'80-008, Seat Ritmo 75 CL, blue metallic (from spanish partwork collection Nuestros Queridos Coches)
    Atlas/Altay/Ixo, #NCV'80-081, Fiat Ritmo 75 CL, blue metallic (same model as above, but Fiat badged and from partwork collection Nos Cheres Voitures)
    Norev, #AZ08, Ritmo Abarth 125 TC, black (from partwork collection "Fiat Collection")
    My personal favourite from the above is the first one on the list with tan interior, super-crisp badge- and license plate stencils and beautiful light lenses, including multi-coloured taillights.

My old sister had a friend who drove a brand new one at the time and I thought it was cool that I had the miniature version of it. Not that I've ever owned or wanted to own a Fix It Again Tomorrow, the last good cars they made were the 124 and 125 series as copied by Lada.
