The Amigo and Friends Association has been in existence for some 18 years and was originally formed by Mike Hennessey , sadly no longer with us, to bring together owners of these vehicles and to give

technical help and spares assistance ,membership is open to anyone with a genuine interest in these unique

vehicles

The Amigo family consists of the following:- The fiat Fargo circa 1969 The Fiesta circa 1972 The Huntsman circa 1974 The Amigo and The Amigo xls circa 1978 The Caravelle circa 1981 The Pandora circa 1982 and The Sleeping Giant circa 1982 also included are the various van types from the panel van to the ice cream van .If any readers have one of these vehicles and are unsure of the model here is a little bit of information for you

The Fargo was primarily built on the 850 model

with single circuit brakes and drums all round,

mostly the roof elevated at one end only giving

it a wedged look, next came the Fiesta based on

both the 850t and the 900t, this model had a

vertical elevating roof and a boot extension.

The next two fiat family members were the

Amigo and the Amigo XLS ,

based on the 900T , again with a full set of

drum brakes, although these model were fitted

with a dual circuit system, the main difference

between these two models was the roof the

Amigo having two hammocks in the roof and

the XLS having two single wooden bunks and

a Childs bed across the cab effectively making

it a five berth camper.

Next came the Caravelle based on the 900E series, again with the spacemaker roof but this time with a very generous double wooden bed in the roof, and a built in 3 way fridge, this was also one of the first models to be fitted with disc brakes at the front and a more efficient drum system at the rear. T he Pandora was the last production model with its large aluminium fold out elevating roof (see picture below) containing a large double or two good sized single beds, a fridge, mains electric and rock and roll seats
