I have finally bought my Innocenti Detomaso Turbo, after many years of
trying to convince the owner, a former Innocenti Dealer , I was able to
bring home two 1985 Innocenti Detomaso Turbos, one for parts and one
that I am currently restoring, a Silver and dark grey Detomaso with only
120 km in the odometer, the car was never sold , and sat in a parking
lot for 16 years , were road salt and the weather attacked the upper
part of the body , roof and upper part of doors, the car is like new
underneath and inside were the plastic covers over the seats and carpets
were still present when I bought the car, after servicing the engine,
replacing all fuel hoses and filters and cleaning the gas tank, I oiled
the cilinders and let it sat for a few days, then I proceeded to turn
the engine, and blow all the oil from the cylinders, did a compression
check and reinstalled the spark plugs, and after a couple of turns the
old trusty Daihatsu three cylinder came to life after 16 years of
silence, It runs smoothly and the turbo spools up nicely, after driving
it around the block a few times last summer (2002) I parked the car in
my newly built garage where I started dismantling the car for a total
restoration job ,I have also a 1984 Innocenti Three cilindri SE non
turbo that I drive in the summers until I get my turbo restored to new
condition....
