  17. i spoke to the person i got the 126 from in dublin , he looked at the photos of the car , and said u dont realise how special a fiat u own ,.
    that car belonged to BARON AMADEO GUILLET THE FAMPOUS WW2 WAR HERO
    Baron Amedeo Guillet, the army’s “Devil Commander” and one of the great protagonists of Italian diplomatic history, who served as ambassador for more than 20 years, is dead at the age of 101. With three wars behind him, and five-times wounded, decorated with the Italian military cross of honour, Guillet died in Rome on Wednesday 16 June.

    Born in Piacenza on 7 February 1909 DIED 101 IN 2010

    HE WORK IN THE IRISH GOVERMENT ON BEHALF OF THE ITALIAN SOMETHING ,

    now hows that for a bit of history for the former owner of my 126
