As I'm getting older so are my bikes. Last three years I went from a 851 to a 906 paso to my current 1982 Pantah 500. I regret selling the 851 but am happy with my change from the Paso, with which I had a love hate relationship, to a more classic Pantah. Unbelievable that they are just a few years apart in development! The bike is in a very good unrestored condition with only 14500km's on the clock. It currently has a 2-1 open Conti exhaust fitted but the chrome Conti's which were the exhausts the bike came with from new came also with the purchase. And I was told a white 500SL is rare. I will change a few items like the brake lines which have a collar with the date 11-80 on them. Seems like past their due date. I will also start saving for an X-ring chain as the current fitment is a standard non O-ring chain and will probably not last long on the short section of gravel road I have to negotiate to get from our country house to the asphalt. I will change the very cheap brake pads and I will replace the orange front turn indicator lenses (they stem originally from the Fiat 850 saloon) with white ones which were standard fitment in italy on the same Fiat 850. This white on white will clean up the looks a bit. Last but not least i will install a side stand which was not fitted at the time. They are hard to come by but I managed to source one in the Netherlands. Hopefully this community can help me with some detailed technical questions I have regarding this bike. See you in the next thread!
Ha ha. Yes, I have a very nice Fulvia too but I elaborate on that vehicle on the Lancia Forum. And for my TDR on the TDR 250 forum. And for my daily Toyota RAV4 on the RAV4world forum;-)
