There is a 411 part that fits an SP2

Post by IMPI »

Hi
I just recieved an SP2 parts book from brazil and was studying it in preparation for the restoration of my SP2
lots of erroneous info about these cars on the net eg windshields and headlights which are interchangeble with the 412 sorry no cigar
The only 411 part number in the SP2 is the front calipers!
Just some useless info
Regards

Yeah, they look kind of similar in the front end, I could see why people would get that idea. I think the Brasilia looks even more similar to the 412. Did you get you SP-2 from South America and ship it over, or did you guys get them when they were new over there? I have always thought they were sooo cool. 8) I saw one on thesamba.com for around $12000 USD, are they worth that much in Brazil I wonder?

It was really odd...my first day in thePhillipines...there was a blue brazilia parked in the parking lot. Thought it was an omen of good things to come! Its was amazing how small those are compared to the 411/412. They reminded me :shock: of a Fiat bravo. Nice looking car though. Ray

My car was originally exported to Zaire and found its way to South Africa
I was onholiday in Brazil and even there the SP2 is considdered a rare classic and worth very much. it was amazing people treated you with more respect when they learned of your owning such a car.
There are two of them in south africa
