Titolo: Italian help wanted

I am a Land Rover enthousiast from Holland. I wondered if an Italian reader 
could probably help me.
I own a Series III 109 pickup, named Fango, which I completely restored last 
year. See (in Dutch) my website : 
www.blubberweb.tk
This Land Rover I bought in Germany, from someone who found it in Italy. 
There was a shield glued on it with "VICENZA"  and "CALIGRAFICA PALLADIO"
It probably was sold in the area Casina / Castelnvo ne'Monti . I would like 
to try to find out more about the history of this car and maybe some photos 
of it's years in Italy.
Is there a open forum about Land Rover in Italy where I can drop more 
details to try to get information? I already mailed the Registro Italiano
but there were no replies :-((
Thanks, Jurjen

 but there were no replies :-((
No surprise that PRA (pubblico registro italiano) did not answer to your 
emails.
BTW i think you have two ways to contact the 1st owner of the car.
1) getting the original, italian, number plate. With that in hand, you can 
do a "visura" or an "estratto cronologico" online on the website 
www.aci.it
. 
It should work also using the vehicle identification number (VIN, which 
should be easier for you to get... it's just a 'pop the hood' away from 
you!) but i'm not sure about it. You can pay online by C/C and it costs 
something less than 10euro. in both documents you will be able to read name 
and address of the first owner. then, going to 
www.paginebianche.it
 you can 
get (most of the times) his phone number and call him.
2) Try to ask to Land Rover Italia, give them the VIN, so maybe they can 
tell you which dealer sold the car. Calling that dealer maybe they can tell 
you the name of the person who bought the car (or at least the number plate, 
so go to #1). In this case there's a privacy issue, so the dealer SHOULDN'T 
tell you anything...but it worths a try!
Good luck with your quest ;-)

 of it's years in Italy.
Ragazzi, la zona Casina/Castelnuovo Monti è qui a casa mia; voi che avete
maggior dimestichezza con l'inglese, potreste chiedere maggiori informazioni
al ragazzo (es. se ha tracce del libretto e della targa italiana del
veicolo)?
Magari riesco ad aiutarlo :-)

Hammer is saying that he lives in the place you mentioned. With more
informations (like plate number or copy of the original italian
documents) he can try to help you.

Io abito a Vicenza e a dire il vero un mio amico negli anni 70-primi 80
aveva un Fango uguale al suo (2000cc benzina) che perň usava senza la capote
in tela,
Nessun passato glorioso per la Land Rover del mio amico.....suo padre la
usava per trasportare materiale edile e noi per trasportare le moto da
cross.
Se qualcuno vuole tradurlo.....;-)
Ciao
