I am also in possession of a 1913 FIAT 15 TER truck since 1987. The price paid was almost symbolic and corresponded to the bad state it was in. It had been completely taken apart and the components thrown to the goats in the fields! There were many parts missing despite a careful search of the area. Without the necessary documentation and spare parts I cannot fully restore the vehicle. Therefore, this car is still waiting for its turn to be restored.

I wrote this text many years ago at a time when I founded these pages. I am glad that I have the possibility to extend this text now after so many years.
For first time it will turn his engine in year 2013 - and at the same time it will celebrate it's 100th anniversary.
It was very simple to write the previous lines. but about searching you could write a whole book. Things which seemed very easy, like obtaining the pictures, details or measurements was a huge effort.
It is one of the reasons why I would like to thank all my friends from around the world, above all from Slovenia, Italy, Australia and New Zealand, for assistance in searching for information, documentation, pictures and, last but not least, for lending of parts to copy. If it were not for this assistance I would never have succeeded.
