Arna 1.5 Ti

Post by alfasuddriver »

Well I've got a new project...it's not been on the road since 1999 but thankfully stored in a garage. Put a strong battery on it and me and my Dad rocked the car too and fro in third and gave the key a turn...it started!

Superb! I really like the Arna - smaller than the 33, lighter too. The ideal home for a boxer 8-)

Looking forward to getting it up and running. No clutch or brake pedal at the moment. The panels are so thin it's no wonder it's so light. The drivers door needs replacing as well as the bonnet so if anyone knows of a Cherry that's being broken up I'd be grateful if you'd let me know. Looking for a fair few spares so if you have any you want to part with get in touch..

Neither of the badges are straight - I hope that wasn't an example of the legendary Italian build quality everyone seems to go on about? I guess they are adhesive backed and they sagged over time?

Nice to have a Tourismo Internazionale though :D

Haha, well the Arna Ti badge is the one attached to the car and the 'Europe' is one I found the other day and just balanced it on the other badge...seemed amusing at the time! The 'Europe' badge was off the the Japanese/Nissan badged version.

As far as I know it's one of only two left. There is only one sorned on howmanyleft.com and don't think it's mine as it's been hidden away since the 90's....

That's lovely. Years ago, I found a picture of an arna racing, deep dish slot mags and only 3 wheels on the ground. Ive since lost it but it looked brilliant.

Much love for the unloved!

Sorry to bump up an old topic!

Alfasuddriver, have you still got that Europe badge? I've been searching for one for ages and if possible I'd like to buy it from you!

I've now sold the Arna and the chap I sold it to has sold it off on. Think the new owner is on here somewhere. Super rare!
