Old Fiat factory photos

[Rogerthat]

Thought I would share some of my pictures of the Fiat factory. Notice the track on top of the factory.

Here is the Wikipedia link

This is the Lingotto factory completed in 1923.

And here is a link to the results of a Google "image search" on the first photo. Interesting stuff. Thanks Roger.

Well this is a coincidence

As I was paging through James' (turbofiat124) pictures from his 1997 trip to Europe, I came across these pictures of him driving on top of the Lingotto factory on the very track we were marveling at. It is a cool Xweb coincidence that these two threads came up so close together.

If you pan through the pictures you will see Damond Kane and his wife on this trip. I belong to the UK forms and get the bi-monthly mag. A past chairman Graham Frost ( Frosty) always in email asked me about Damon.

The UK club every few years does a pilgrimage to Torrino to the Bertone plant. The drive is fast paced between the UK and Italy. Everything is planned down to Pee Breaks and fuel stops.

Take a look at the photo album, it is worth the time spent viewing.

I stumbled onto a Youtube video of X1/9s on the roof track at Lingotto. I figured this thread was a good spot for it. It is a shame Photobucket decided to hold hostage all the content they appropriated from the public.

The factory is now a shopping mall. I went there three years ago.
