Gezocht - onder de 30-jarige enthousiasteling voor een gratis 1927 Fiat 509 project op zoek naar een goed tehuis....

Brief aan de redacteur

Bestaande uit een zeer goed chassis, met voor- en achteras, veren, remmen, naven, schokdempers en stuurinrichting. Hij wordt geleverd met een complete 509A motor (herstelbare lichte vorstschade), koppeling, versnellingsbak en alle bijbehorende onderdelen, inclusief carburateur, dynamo, starter en magneet.

De radiateur is zeer goed en heeft een ombouw, motorkap, scuttle, twee benzinetanks en zijn dashboard met enkele instrumenten - hij wordt ook geleverd met twee stoelen.

Er is een reserve stuurkolom, reserve motorblok, carter en krukas en veel kleine onderdelen zoals de handbediening en kabelboom met veel van de speciale Fiat connectoren. Hij wordt ook geleverd met een huidigeV5C.

Dit is in principe een complete auto in gedemonteerde vorm zonder het grootste deel van de carrosserie - ideaal voor bodying als een 509S zoals afgebeeld.

Onderdeel van het pakket is een handig gereedschapspakket indien nodig en een gratis jaar lidmaatschap van het Vintage FIAT Register, de VSCC en haar Light Car Section.

Als u een enthousiasteling, jonger dan 30 jaar bent en op zoek bent naar een eigen Vintage auto, schrijf dan maximaal 100 woorden waarom dit startpakket voor u zou moeten zijn en stuur het naar Mike Tebbitt, LC&ES Editor, Little Wyche, Walwyn Road, Upper Colwall, MALVERN WR13 6PL, UK.

De gelukkige ontvanger wordt eind september gekozen door het Light Car & Edwardian Section Committee.

Dear Mike,
I am very interested in your proposal. My name is Damien Marion, I am a young 22yo passionate about prewar cars (and not that much about youngtimers…).

I grew up in a family in which we always appreciated cars and which allowed me to live my passion by going to shows or events on the circuit.
Now I feel ready to take on a major project: I have just finished my studies and am starting a job.

Your offer is a real opportunity for me to access the ownership of such a project, which is often difficult to access for young people.

I would like to thank you very sincerely for your approach and wish you success.
Thanking you, DM

I have sent a letter as requested

Dear Sir or madam,

I am writing to you having recently seen your advertisement on pre war car which I frequently browse offering the foundations for a delightful 1927 Fiat 509 509s or perhaps even Zagato evocation. 

This is a most generous offer by the owner and I have seen many excited comments over a “free” car however as all of us who have completed such projects know this is where the hard work, costs and responsibility start especially when such a undertaking has been gifted. 
I have been a classic enthusiast from an early age and plumbed for a W123 Mercedes for my first car as my friends hankered after Crosa’s if selected by your panel I would undertake to complete this project with minimal outsourcing and video document it as best i could
I am now moving into our first home with my partner this has necessitated me selling my beloved W123 leaving me with a garage, enthusiasm but no project until I saw this advert 

Yours faithfully




Jack Prendergast, 27, Maidstone Kent

Hello,
I’m Harry lucking, I’m 23, Manchester based with a workshop. I grew up going to rally’s/hill climbs with my father, I throughly enjoyed my time at these events and around such fantastic engineering. I’d love the opportunity to video/document myself restoring this vehicle from the ground up and show my peers how fun a project like this can be and how it’s not as daunting or expensive as appears along with the fun that can be had once complete. I have experience in restoring and in film, if contacted I can expand on my experience
Sincerely
Harry

Dear sir, I'm Christian, 20 years old and I live in Apulia, Southern Italy.
Since I can remember (maybe since I was born) I absolutely love cars, especially classics as my father started to collect a few of them in my childhood. Following the shared passion, I decided to go to university to study mechanical engineering with the dream of one day open a classic car restoration and classic race car preparation centre here in Italy. I just finished the restoration of my first race car, a 1985 Corsini Formula Panda(which also happens to have a 1. 0 l Fiat engine) , 1 of only 3 in the world, but a dream of mine for a long time has always been to have a pre war car. Now, this Fiat 509 project could well be the realization of this dream and I will be forever grateful.( If this happens I will show the project on my YouTube channel I have so that other people could get involved). I dream now and then about the emotions of driving a 1927 car like this on the roads!!!
Hopeful for a successful reply.
Kind regards
Christian

Dear Mike,

My name is Remy BELLIOT, I am 18 years old, almost 19 years old, and I live in the Seine and Marnaise countryside below Paris.

I am a big fan of pre- and post-war cars, I own 3 old vehicles, the 3 are very rare Renault 5 and I restored one of these 3, at the age of 17.

I am a Bodybuilder / Painter and I am now in the environment that has made me dream for years, car restoration collection, I currently work with a specialist Facel Vega, the workshop is nicknamed Vega Passion, a French luxury brand of the 60s.

I am writing you this message following the announcement I saw for this sublime Fiat 509 from 1927, I have been looking for a vehicle from those years for some time because I dream of restoring a post-war car entirely myself.

I have the advantage of having dry space to restore a car and once restored I promise the whole world that this car will run every month!
The Fiat brand is a brand that I particularly admire, in my room many Fiat collectables are present.

For me, this project falls perfectly well and you would realise a great dream of a young 18-year-old car enthusiast.

Thank you and see you soon.

Sincerely,

Remy BELLIOT

Hi Mike,

I’m Louis, I’m 24 & Based in Shropshire. I’m very mechanically minded but I’m always looking to learn more. I’m a parts advisor at a Fiat Dealership so I have people around me who would be interested in helping this project as well as other links in getting this project off the ground and going. As stated before I have a good mechanical knowledge and links in the modern car market as well as having interests in competing in international motorcycle events over Europe. I’d love to get stuck into a project like this.

Any questions,

Let me know ☺️

Dear Mike,
First sorry for my english. I'm 28 years old and I am a mechanical engineer and work shaping (you can see pictures).
I am passionate and I have already restored two cars (Citroën Traction 11B from 1954 and Peugeot 504 coupe from 1970).
I opened my collector's vehicle restoration business a year ago.
I have always dreamed of restoring a pre-war car for myself.
This will allow me to satisfy my passion and show my know-how.

I will be happy to show you the restoration of the car in the rules of the art and in accordance with the manufacturer.

Passionately
Best regards

Anthony Bichon

Good afternoon Mike,
This is a fantastic gesture and one that I would greatly appreciate considerations for. I’m 27 years old and work for a coachbuilders in Odiham, I’ve always loved old cars but the possibility of owning one has been out of reach financially. My passion lead me to taking it up as a career so I can work on and around cars. I’ve recently started renting some space on the same site as my job with the hope to find a project that I can get my teeth stuck in to and your Fiat 509 looks like an amazing opportunity.
All the best
Zack

Dear Mike,
I will be sending you a proper letter, however I am busy at the track now.
From young I have been raised with cars through my dad who owns his own motorsport shop. My automotive career started very close to PreWarCar, working for PreWarWorkshop. Having gained experience and knowledge over a period of 2-3 years, working on all sorts of brand, from Amilcar to Bentley and even REO.
Having gotten the opportunity to join on fabulous events like the Mille Miglia through them. That way my interest in motorsport grew especially with prewar cars.
Together with a family friend in Cape Town, South Africa, I am in the process of restoring a one off Bugatti Brescia land speed record car. Along with his Lagonda V12 and other smaller cars like MG’s and an Oakland.

Today, I work alongside my father in his motorsport shop, where we build, restore, repair and prepare historic racing cars from mostly pre-66. We build cars like Shelby Cobra’s and Mustangs. For these cars I do the track service too, entering events like the Spa Six Hours and Le Mans Classic.
With each of these events, seeing the pre war classes get my hands itching for that era of cars again.
As of then I have been looking for a fitting project to work on in my free time, even though there might be little at times.

I hope you consider my application,
And if my story interest you I would love to get in contact with you.
Kindest regards,

Bart Verkuijlen

(sorry for my bad english, french is my unique mother language)

Since my 16th birthday, old cars are my moto. At 25 years old, I work for the website newsdanciennes.com, I am Officer for the FFSA, I organise events for old cars... and the older I become, the oldest mecanics I look for. Today, I split my time between a Lancia Fulvia (1971) and a Terrot Tenor (1963). But they are not old enough... reason why I would be so glad to offer this beauty the rebirth she deserves and the new life she has to live !

Thanks and regards,

Thibaut BATS (from France but ready to take the road !)

Hi Mike,

What a great offer! I currently work at a car dealership in The Netherlands where we also sell oldtimers (specifically British and Italian classics). Fiat classics have always been a great interest of mine. This project would suit me well! I will get my business school degree this year, so finishing your project would be the best graduation gift.
I hope you will take me into consideration. Thank you anyway!
Don’t hesitate to contact me!

I love the idea of building a fiat 509, already getting lots of ideas of how I’d built it and what I’d use it for! I Would definitely make sure to do the car justice, and give it the restoration it deserves!

Dear Mike



My name is Marek Hlavsa, I am 10 years old and live in Czech Republic. Since I was little I´ve been interested in old vehicles already, the racing ones mainly. At first I liked looking at pictures of them and than I started drawing them. Currently I´ve been helping my father with renovation of MG M car in his garage. We´ve also been building the childern´s Amilcar lately, on which I had done riveting, circling, tapping out and other auxiliary work. My father races with Rudge motorbikes and takes me with him in his sidecar often which I enjoy very much. I´d really like to get the car you offer, because I love the drive in old cars and I´d really want to have my own one one day.

Kind Regards,

Marek

Hi mike my name is Sebastian Taylor and I'm 21 years of age going to school to be a diesel mechanic. And I love all sorts of classic cars I collect papers about all sorts of cars as well as books. my favorite document is a magazine from the 1930s that has a add for a 1937s triumph dolomite. I have never seen a vintage fiat in person before but I'm always looking to learn more about classic cars and what makes them tick I live in Boerne Texas in the United States which probably means that I can't get the car because I don't have the money to spend on shipping. I would appreciate it though if you could still consider me. I think it would be a great learning experience for me to learn about a foreign make of car while restoring it.

P.S. I would restore it to factory original to the best of my ability.

Sincerely,
Sebastian A Taylor

Good morning

I would give her a new life together with my friends and family. After restoration, we would be happy to offer her to the classic cars auction in Padova with the aim to collect money for a bigger social project.

I have experience as cars manufacturer. In my facility I´m already building a continuation car on the drawings from Jano: the Alfa Romeo Monza (1931). My experience is a key factor in projects of this kind!

I have time, energies and a bit of money to dedicate to this project. I also have the right contacts that would support me to have FIAT done in a professional way.
