Fórum FIAT Croma klub

The Croma Convertible car was unknown to me, at least until two years ago.
Then, I learn that Fiat had studied car convertible for use as taxis on the island of Capri.
In the island of Capri, taxis must be convertible, and this is a rule in place for many years.
The Fiat Style Center has designed this special car, and only now have had confirmation that two copies were made.
The realization of these cars was treated by a specialist company in Salerno, while the tests were done at Fiat in Turin.
After 400,000 km up and down the island,a Croma was sold to me.
The other Croma, is still on the island (it was believed destroyed), but is no longer in service.
This is a photo of the car , arrived in Turin, before the beginning of an hard restoration.....

Ernesto říká, že i pro něj byla existence Cromy cabrio neznámá, až do doby před dvěma léty, kdy se k němu tato informace dostala a potvrdilo se mu, že byly vyrobeny dva kusy. Jednalo se o specialni výrobu pro taxi službu na ostrově Capri, kde byly vyžadovány taxi vozy s touto konstrukcí. Vozidlo navrhla firma Fiat Style Center, vyrobeno bylo firmou v Salernu a testováno bylo ve Fiatu v Turíně. Jako taxi najezdila Croma 400tkm na ostrově Capri a dostala se pak do Ernestových rukou. Druhá Croma je udajně poničená a není už v provozu. Toto je fotka po převozu k Ernestovi, ještě před tím, než započala renovace.

moje poznámka: já už vím, že renovace je v pokročilém stádiu a auto je téměř hotovo, takže fotky budou přibývat, máme se na co těšit

myslim ze si to prelozil velmi dobre lepsie ako prekladace na nete

I am very sorry, but I can not speak czech language.
I write in English (and not very well ....), because it is the only way to talk with you.
If a problem is for you to understand me, I write no more.
What is your response Simmy?

pre mna to nie je ziaden problem ja si to vsetko prekladam na internete takze ja som len rad ze tu prispievas. a dufam ze dalej budes. uz len s toho dovodu ze tie tvoje auta vyzeraju neskutocne dobre ako keby teraz len vysli z fabriky.

In this case, you have a bad translation from czech because everything is fine and this time no one evil for English
I wanted to be friendly to users who do not know English, and your post I quickly translated into Czech.
so do not think anything bad:) everyone is looking forward to the sequel (I, too, because in Italian, I also understand all the information)

LTFC says he has no problem that he used the google translator. He is glad that you're writing, and hopes that you will continue. He says that your car look amazing, as if just pulled out from the factory

LTFC: Ernesto taky určitě používá Google Translator. Pokud mu teda chceš nechat vzkaz, tak si myslím, že to není problém, ale piš jednodušší věty, které translator zvládne přeložit bez zkomolenin. A možná je lepší psát v češtině, protože nevím, jak google zvládá slovenštinu. Samozřejmě ti teď neříkám, jak máš psát to je jen taková rada, kdybys chtěl Ernestovi zvýšit přehlednost v našich příspěvcích

Co se tyce cromy cabrio, moc se mi to nelibi
Zadek je celkem pekny, ale zadni okno ne!!! Napojeni na strechu

English:
As for me so I let Google to translate everything, perhaps it is well read in English?

I am glad that we have such member, who has wide experience, and nice cars.

Regarding croma convertibles, much I do not like it: (
Ass is quite nice, but not the rear window! Connected to the roof: (

This car was discovered by the magazine "Quattroruote ", in 1992, during the test on the road, near the Fiat Mirafiori (Turin).
He assumed the construction of 50 Croma Convertible for taxi drivers of Capri, but then, because of the narrow streets of this island, the Croma proved to be unsuitable for this type of use.
Here is a piece of Quattroruote report (July 1992)

This Croma 2.0 i.e. is a rare (for Italy) "Basic" version.
The car has no air conditioning,no electric rear windows, does not have the ceck panel and mirrors are manual.
The car has no tachometer, but in its place, a big analogic clock ...
Here is a photo of how you open the front door, and as you open the back door.
The rear plate " NA" , the meaning is Napoli !
Yes, This because Capri Island stay on Napoli county. ( 20 minutes by ferry boat...)

in the illustration are new mirrors, and the picture you can see an old mirror, how come? is it original?
mechanism is interesting, but the trunk does not put too much luggage, is it?

two thumbs up

In Italy, the manual mirrors ( for Chroma 2 nd series), are very rare, because Croma i.e. basic version
is a model very rare .
The Croma Convertible has been used a lot (400.000km on an island where the maximum speed is 40/45 km / h. ..), and has been repaired many times.
In Southern Italy, the originality of the car is not important, the important thing is to find a suitable replacement .....
So, once broken the original mirrors , no problem to mount mirrors of Croma MK1 .....

Another major problem in South Italy are the car repairers.
Many of these "professionals" seem to farriers...
There is lack of professionalism, and many repairs have been done badly.
But for them, a job done wrong is not important, it is important that, in one way or another, the car can be used on the road .....

This car has arrived one year ago in Turin, in poor condition.
400,000 km up and down of an island with winding, narrow streets, is a devastating thing ...
And, " thanks to car repairers of South Italy", many parts aren't original.
My thought was to immediately dismantle everything and change almost everything ...
Actually I could not do otherwise, and the first thing you removed all the engine and transmission, which was in terrible condition, but incredibly, still worked!
