Hello from a Volumex in Europe!

Post by SpiderEuropaVolumex »

Hello all,
I am a very proud new owner of one of the very rare Pininfarina SpiderEuropa Volumex over here in Europe, the very last Spider's ever made and also the more powerfull and rarest of them all with only 500 made! :D
Along with the car, I also got some very tasty Abarth/Volumex exclusive spare parts that I will post up for sale for the members here in the forum first.

Another Volumex owner! Welcome.
That now makes two of us on here. Mine is #390. Do you know what # yours is? It's stamped in the engine compartment.
Got any pics?

Only two really? :o I thought there would be some more of the 500 around here...
Anyway, the car is at a garage right now having some work done to it, so no pics for now, and the number if I recall correctly the previous owner said it is one of the early ones, it's 20 or 30 something, I will check later when I have the chance.

Hi,
welcome here on board! From where are you? Just interested in more car informations and pictures too!

Many of the cars were sold in Germany and there is a club "Volumex IG" for those!
I am from the german Spider club and there are less than 5 members with a Volumex or Abarth!

Our worldwide spider registry lists approx. 200 Volumex cars. Is your car already listed (by the previous owner)?

Bye, Ralf

Welcome from the other side of the big pond, (Georgia, USA). I have read about the VX's and would love to see one up close. I am still looking for an 80 to 85 to purchase. I jumped the gun and joined before I purchased one.

Still looking for my very own Spider 2000 5 speed...

I would strongly recommend you join the Volumex club in Europe. They have been very helpfull to me in sourcing scarce parts, and as you get more into maintenance believe me most of the parts are unique to the Volumex. I'm very strict about using only original spec parts only because of it's rarity.
I have contact infor for them if you need...although I confess I have not joined the club myself because I am so far away on Vancouver Island.
Good luck,
Jim

Hi,
I think there is a problem with the website at: http://www.spider-volumex.de/
Zero Content!
Perhaps some russian hacks? 8)

Yes I thought the same thing myself, and that probably explains why they are taking so long to reply to my email... :|
