An hour or two after the online auction had ended - the realisation had set in. Yes, we had bought ourselves a Fiat 500!
What had started as a crazy idea based on a text message a few weeks previously, had now resulted in us buying a car we had never seen before, that was in bits....
As the excitement of being Fiat 500 owners sunk in, so did the realisation that we now had to somehow fit a car in a single garage that was full of, well, junk! Oh, and the small matter of retrieving the car from it's current home, 255 miles away...
The evening times after work the following week consisted of tidying, discarding, sweeping, painting, binning, swearing (!), sweating, falling over, umming and aaahing. Until finally our garage looked like something ready to accept a little car:

The secondary task was to work out how to get the car from near Torquay to Nantwich. After much head scratching trying to hire a van with a trailer (it seems companies that hire vans and trailers don't have any vans with tow-bars....) we decided to let the professionals look after the delivery of our new project...
